State Convention May 25th.

Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 4.-The
only absentees at the meeting oil
the State Democratic committee to
day were J. E Murphy, of Hum
boldt, and Hugh Petit, Of Mem
phis. Several members were how
ever represented by proxy. The
committee was presided over by
Chairman Frank NJ. Thompson, and
the utmost harmony prevailed. One
convention, to assemble May 25,
was decided on. This convention
will select delegates to the national
convention, choose candidates for
presidential electors and nominate
candidates for governor, railroad
commissioner, secretary of state,
state treasurer and comptroller.
There was some opposition to nomi-
mating for secretary OF state. The
convention will meet al Nashville.
National Committeeman j. NJ.
Head, who had just returned from
St. Louis, addressed the committee
as to hotel accommodations there,
saying he had secured headquarters
for the Tennessee delegation at the
Jefferson Hotel. He gave informa-
ton as to rates at the various hotels
and suggested the ACCESSIBILITY of
the securing of accommodations at
an early date by all those who de-
sire to go to St. Louis during the
convention. The delegates could
take the rooms he had reserved by
giving notice a week before the
convention.
Most of the committee interviewed
were for Parker where they express
ed a choice. None of them favored
reafirmation of the Kansas CITY
platform and unanimously they OPP
posed Mr.. Bryan or any other one
man dominating the convention.
In discussing candidates and plat
form, Chairman Thompson said in
an interview: 81 am for Parker.
1t is not necessary to reafirm the
Kansas City platform. The scheme
of human wisdom was not exhaust
ed in it and doubtless there will be
men at st. Louis able to write a
platform without being either him
