made, Broughton receiving 1902 votes
Before the result of this ballot was
announced to the convention the chair
man recognized Mr.. Snow, who came
upon the rostrum and said:
IF there is one thing dearer to my
heart than another it is the success of
the Democratic party and the adoption
of the amendment. OF all times, this is
the time when there should be no friction
among Democrats. Wake county can and
must carry the Constitutional Amend
ment.
Il am deeply grateful to the people of
Wake county for the vote and the sup
port they have given me. And | want to
say also that don't believe there is a bet
ter man or a man who would be more sue
cessful, in the county, than n. b. Brough-
ton. l therefore rise to make his nomi-
nation unanimous"
The motion was seconded by Mr.. f. p.
Maynard and Mr.. F. A. Whitaker. Both
of them made speeches pledging their
support to Mr.. Broughton and the rest
of the ticket.
"And l too said Mr.. Maxwell Cor
man. 'as representing perhaps the only
precinct in Wake county that did not give
Mr.. Broughton vote, desire to second
the motion to make his nomination unan-
imous, and I move to nominate him by
acclamation.'
1t was done amid great applause.

istead Jones, who asked Mr.. Jas. II. Pou
to preside as temporary chairman.
On taking the chair Mr.. Pou made a
short speech, thanking the convention for
the honor, congratulating the Democracy
of the county on such an assemblage and
predicting a great victory next August.
He appointed Mr.. G. C. Mcdonald as
temporary secretary.
After the roll had been called show
ing every county fully represented and no
contest, the temporary organization was
made permanent and the convention pro-
ceeded with the business for which it had
convened.
A committee on Platform and Resolu-
tons was appointed, consisting OF one
member from each precinct, as follows:
j. ID. Allen. p. w. Burt, j. w. Parker, F..
r. Gray, Branton Stevens, S. H. Smith,

Treasurer was unanimous, and he was
called on for speech. He said he could
only bow his head in gratitude and thank
the people of Wake county for the COM
pliment and the honor.
On motion of Mr.. CASTOR T. Powell, one
of the defeated candidates for the House,
the nomination of Messrs. Beddingfield,
Simms and Pearson was also made unani-
nous.
This brought the convention to nominal
tions for State Senator The announce
ment of this fact was heard amid great
applause and cheers for Broughton and
Snow.
Mr.. George w. Atkinson started the
ball by placing w. b. Snow in nominal
ton.
Judge T. B. Womack followed with a
nominating speech for n. B. BrDughton.
1t was a very strong speech and, though
perhaps a trife long, had much influ-
ence on the ultimate result of the contest.
He called to attention of the delegates
the fact that Mr.. Broughton was elected
to the House in 1896 and his seat stolen
by negro. He asked that this wrong
be righted.
This nomination was seconded by Mr.
Frank Terrell, of Marks Creek, who de-
clared that Broughton was today the
strongest man with the people in the
county, and added:
Il have gone away from the Democratic
party and was not with it when he had
his seat taken from him by a negro |
stand here today to make amends for
that and | ask you to nominate him and
give us a chance to honor him"
This declaration was greeted with a
thunder of applause.
Messrs. Sol Allen of Wake Forest; r.
l.. Brewer, of Mitchell's Mill, and w. n.
Jones, of Raleigh, also seconded Brough-
tom nomination.
Mr.. Jones speech seconding this nomi-
nation was strong, sensible talk, that
did BroughtonS cause much good.
