"Big Four" to st. Lous-State Off"
GERS are Renominated.
Greensboro, N. c., Special.-At 5:45
o'clock Friday morning. just before ad-
journment Of the prolonged night ses-
sion, Robert B. Glenn, Of Winston
Salem, was nominated by the State
Democratic Convention for Governor OF
North Carolina. He was chosen IN the
fifth ballot. Amid cheering, waving of
hats, coats and banners the nomina-
ton was made unanimous.
On the re-assembling of the conyen-
ton at 1915 o'clock, the delegates
nominated the other State officers, as
follows:
Lieutenant-Go t-Governor-Hon. Francis
D. Winston. of BERTHE.
Associate Justices Of the Supreme
Court-W. A. Hoke, of Lincoln, and
George H. Brown, Jr., Of Beaufort.
State Auditor-B. F. Dixon, of Cleve-
land.
Treasurer-B. r. Lacy, of Wake.
Secretary of State. Bryan Grimes,
of Pitt.
Superintendent of Education-J. Y.
Joyner, of Guilford.
Commissioner Of Labor and Printing
II. B. Warmer, of Davidson.
Corporation Commissioner S. l..
Rogers, of Haywood.
Commissioner Of Agriculture-S. L.
Patterson, Of Caldwell.
Messrs. Dixon, Lacy, Grimes, Joyner,
Warner, Rogers and Patterson were all
re-nominated.
The delegates-at-large to st. Louis
elected are: Gen. Julian S. Carr, Dur
ham; Locke Craig, Asheville; John E.
Woodward, Wilson; Major E. ]. Hale,
Fayetteville.
One of the anomalies of the situation
is that of the "a delegates the State has
to st. Louis going under the majority
unit rule, 1S were formerly identified
with what is known as the Cleveland
element and several are known to be
for his nomination now, but all are for
Parker except one, who is said to be
for Hearst. Senators Simmons and
Overman and Governor Aycock re-
fused to allow their names to be con-
sidered as delegates.
The Presidential electors are: F. S.
Spruill, of Franklin, and w. A. Self,
Of Catawba.
A resolution was passed by the con-
vention instructing the delegates to the
national convention to vote as a unit
on all matters coming before them, but
otherwise the members will go unin-
structed
A resolution demanding a division Of
the school fund between the races on
the basis Of taxation was killed by an
overwhelming vote, the Democracy OF
North Carolina thus pla ing itself on
record as Offering the negro equal ia
cilities with the Caucasian.
The platform adopted, after brief
reference to the settling Of the race
problem by the passage of the consti-
tutional amendment, has this to say
of the South Dakota bond suit:
"The Democratic party of 1904 ap-
proves the settlement made IN 1879 and
will oppose any and all attempts from
any quarter to set aside the settle
ment then made. 1t will abide the
mandates of the courts, but it will not
consent to reopen the settlement that
was alike creditable to the State anu
fair to the holders of its securities"
1t then condemns the President "for
his surrender to trust influences anu
for his failure to enforce the law
against monopolies and monopolists.
Congress appropriated s5OO,0OO to en-
ploy special counsel to enforce the laws
against trusts. In II months the Pres
ident. the platform states, expended foI
such purposes only one-twentieth OF
that sum. "In the midst Of crime COM
mitted by these wrong-doers," it con-
tinues, he will not stop the violation
of statutes enacted for the protection
of the people, nor punish the criminals
who plunder them. although his atten-
tion was called to the manner in which
the perpetrators might be punished by
recent decisions Of the Supreme Court.
The present tariff law is denounced.
