 Governor Jelks Present.
 The first meeting of the democratic state campaign committee was held yes- terday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Metropolitan hotel, and twenty-one mem bers of the body were present. Governor William D. Jelks was also in attendance.
 Robert J. Lowe, chairman of the demo- cratic state executive committee, called the meeting to order. He stated that the call for this session was made in persu- ance of the responsibilities and duties imposed upon him as chairman of the executive committee. He further said that he, in appointing the campaign com mittee, had asked each nominee for con 1 gross to select a man from his district, and that the suggestions or recommenda- tions received had been followed
 John c. Pugh was asked to act as tenn porary secretary He read the names of the committee, with their addresses.
 MT. Lowe said the campaign committee was called together for the purpose of organization and to prepare plans for the campaign work. He regretted that long notice of the meeting could not be given the members, but the unusual condition of second primary rendered it imposs- l ble. Seemingly" said MT. Lowe, it was not necessary. as so many members of the committee are present"
 Election of Chairman.
 The first matter considered was the sell lection of campaign chairman. The name of E. K. Campbell was put in nomi- nation and he was unanimously elected. In a short speech MT. Lowe presented MT. Campbell, who in turn thanked the committee for the honor conferred on him and the confidence imposed in him. John c. Pugh was nominated for secre- tary and was unanimously elected.
 MT. Campbell suggested that as the committee was large one that a cen tral committee should be formed. B. F. Roden then introduced the following resolution:
 That the democratic state campaign committee authorizes the appointment by the chairman of central committee, to be composed of such members as to him seems advisable, and to add to said com mittee from time to time as to him seems expedient." The resolution was adopted.
 The names of the chairmen of the con gressional district committees were called for and given.
 MT Lowe here stated that every ab- sentee had sent reason for not being present. and also his regrets. In each instance a willingness to aid the com mittee in it's work in any way was ex- pressed.
 At this juncture Governor Jelks was called upon to speak. He made a brief address, which was enthusiastically re | ceived
