the insurgents failed to make any nominations for state officers. Sever al conferences were held between the leaders previous 10 the calling of the conventions 10 order It is under stood at these conferences the regu- lars agreed to the plan to reor- ganize the state central commit tee by choosing twenty members at large and one member from each county, granting the insurgents one delegate at large to the national presidential electors. The failure of the insurgents to nominate a candi- date for governor and choose dele gates to the Chicago convention would indicate that all differences will be settled Gen Powell Clayton was ac tive in the role of peacemaker, both in the conferences betweea the two factions and on the floor of the regu lar convention. Hon. H. H Myers was nominated for governor and the state central committee was empow- cred to fill other places on the ticket later if it is deemed advisable Both conventions endorsed the administra- tion of President Roosevelt and in. structed for his renomination The members of the Big Four who will represent the state at the national convention at Chicago are H. L. RemmeI. Charles N Rix, Sid B. Red ding and M. w Gibbs, the last named a colored man.

GreaYes of Hot Springs was elected chairman and George w. 0'Neal of Harrison. secretary of the insurgent state central committee.
 Hon. H. l.. Remmel called the con. vention to order. and after a lengthy address. the temporary organization was effected by the election of J. l. Warrington of Carroll county as chairman and W $. Holt of Pulaski county secretary. After the usual committees on credentials and perma- nent organization reported, Hon. L. s. Bratton was made permanent chair J .
 The first contest in the regular or der Of business was precipitated by a motion to reOrganize the state central committee by selecting one member from each county. The Pulaski coun- ty delegation favored selection of the committee as heretofore, and the re- organization plan was favored gener. ally by the county delegates. After some heated remarks Gen Clayton of fered the following;
 Resolved, that the state committee be composed of one member from each county. to be selected on roll call by the delegates from each county to this convention, and twenty from the state at large to be recommended by the committee already appointed and that not more than three at large be from any one county The chairman, sec retary and treasurer may be selected from outside the committee. in which case they shall be ex-oficio members of the committee :"
