The committee appointed at the recent
prohibition county convention to take un-
der consideration the question of nominal
ins a county ticket and to name the can
didates, If 1t should be deemed advisable
| to place a ticket in the field, met here
! Friday afternoon. Mr.. William w. Moore
presided and Mr.. Frank W. Watkins acted
a If hc
| committee present being Messrs. Frank
| Higgins, Hezekiah Day, C. C. Lawson, Rev
Mr.. Ely and r. c. Beall.
The political situation in the county was
| thoroughly discussed, and the opinion of a
| large majority Of the members of the COM
| mittee was that more could be accomplish
! ed for the cause Of temperance by making
| no. nominations this year, thereby leaving
| the members OF the party free to support
| those among the candidates Of the other
| parties known to favor the continuance OF
| the local option law, but in difference to
| the wishes of one or two members who
| desired certain gentlemen named, and be-
cause of the impression which was shown
| later to be erroneous. that by making no
| nominations at this time the party might
| be deprived Of a place the official bal
| lot in future elections. 1t was decided to
| nominate candidates for four of the ten
| positions to be filled, as follows: For state
senate Vernon D. Watkins; for house OF
| delegates, Robert T. Mullinix and John T.
| collection district, Hezekiah Day.
| resolution was adopted urging the
| members of the party to give the state
| ticket their solid support. to emphasize that
| they stood for a principle but declaring
| that in county affairs politics should cut
| no figure, and that the best man should
| be supported.
After the committee adjourned one of the
| members stated that he had every reason
| to believe that two, and possibly three, OF
those nominated would decline to allow the
/ use of their names. and gave 1t as his opin-
! ion that there would be no candidates OF
| the prohibition party on the official ballot
| Large Crowd Attends.
| From 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon until
| at night there was an unprecedented
| crowd of visitors at the new Delmar Park
Deanwood, D. c., the attraction being q
bush meeting in the park under the
| auspices of the Tenth Street Baptist
| Church. corner 10th and r streets north
west, this city, Rev. s. Geriah Lamkins
