iternoon Session..
The first business of the conference ill
the afternoon was the discussion in eN-
tense OF n resolution offered by Captain
Parks, the object OF which was to dis
qualify from voting or holding any office
of honor, trust or profit any person who
should be convicted of having given
through himself or another any money,
offer or provision of money or other.
thing of value to procure his own cleo
ton or the election of another, etc. The
resolution also contained a long form of
oath, which an officer. should take after.
election, to the effect that he had not
directly or Indirectly violated the section.
cf the Constitution.
There were any number of speeches
made, among those opposing the resolu-
ton being AIrtssrs. Daniel, Thorn and
Robertson, who contended that the Leg
islature was the proper tribunal to en-
ct criminal statutes, and that the pro-
vision woul:: p.ovent even the raising
campaign fund by committees of a party,
for the indirect use of the fund by
committee would not only keep a sue
cessful candidate from holding the Of
fee, but would disfrancllise him from
voting ever after.
Messrs. Parks, Glass, w. A. Ande--
son and others took the other side, and
the old question of election frauds was
threshed over again. All admitted that
the Parks resolution was too drastic,
and it was overwhelmingly defeated.
! Major Anderson offered in it's place
modified provision of the same nature,
which had been agreed upon at a sub
caucus Of himself. Mr.. Glass and several
friends. He made a rousing speech for
it. but it shared the same fate as the
other.
VOTING IN PRIMARIES.
The next speech-provoking topic was
| a. section offered by Mr.. Glass, providing
| that voters in primary elections and party
conventions should possess the same
qualifications as in regular elections This
brought up the question Of frauds in con-
ventions, primaries. fractional fights, etc:
| In opposing the measure Senator Daniel
said it would debar a man who had Tot
paid a poll tax even from participating
! in a party convention, although the con-
vention might be held before the ex-
piration$ Of the time at which the poll
tax should be paid.
He moved to lay it on the table. Speech
| making began. Mr.. Meredith cited tine
| necessity of such a measure by referring
! to recent frauds in fractional primaries
Several other speakers were proceeding
| to timber I'D. Vote! vote!- vote! was
| heard all over the hall as soon as the
| Speaker arose $500
It was urged by Attorney-G General An
derson and other advocates of the meas

whole suffrage plan But the confusion
was too great to permit hearing any
more speeches. Had vote been taken
! tho resolution would have been over

ference with a group Of friends Of the
measure, q: motion was made to djourn.
