PLATFORM PLANKS
BY FIFTH DISTRICT


9Th of September, meet and suggest a
candidate for the House and first
and second choice for candidates for
the Senate on the Republican ticket,
all of which may or may not be aC-
copied by the District Committee.
In support OF this resolution the in.
PRODUCER presented the totals of votes
cast in the various divisions suggest.
ed, at the last general election. They
were as follows: First and Second
Precincts. 1903: Third. Fourth and
Fifth. 1922; Sixth, 1902: Seventh, l72;
Eighth and Tenth, 1897 and Ninth, l49.
Mr. Carter. in rising to second the
resolution of Mr.. MCCandless, said
that the ntroducer very evidently had
no intention of taking away any of the
prerogatives belonging to the District
Committee. II adopted, the resolution
would be the means of starting a move.
ment in the new divisions, there would
be an impulse to work, and the party
would be strengthened in all the pre-
Cincts. IL was necessary to stir up the
voters. The suggestions made would
only be received by the committee as
such. In fact, the committee might
not deem 1t expedient to name a Ger.
tain man suggested as candidate.
! Under such circumstances, 1t could do
so. The resolution was undoubtedly
meant to get at the sentiment OF the
various precincts concerning the most
popular men. The result OF the adop'
ton OF The resolution would be to slim
ulate local pride and bring about unity
OF action.
An amendment to the resolution In
the shape of the last paragraph. as
given above. was introduced by j. l..
Holt, accepted and incorporated.
Mr.. Low said he approved of what
Mr.. Carter had said but he did moi
approve OF the resolution. The Sixth
Precinct. OF which he was a member
had taken the lead in the matter anC
the delegates from there had already
been pledged to certain men. WheI
they came together, they would vot,
for their men. The resolution wal
such that the impression would g
abroad that the whole district delega
ton would be compelled to vote 20
the men to whom the delegates OF th'
Sixth had been pledged. It should b,
made plain that the whole plan Na'
simply in the nature of a suggestion
1t was a delicate matter and should l.,
handled as such.
Mr. Carter said the point was vel
taken. The resolution could be mad,
perfectly harmless by adding a few
words. He made suggestions, other
made others, and the resolution wa
soon fixed up in the form in which /
appears above, and adopted.
