At the afternoon session the hall
rang with applause when Governor

The report was at once adopted and
Chairman Doughton was escorted to
the platform by A. A. Thompson, of

Mr.. Doughton was wise. He at
tempted no lengthy speech, but con-

marks, returning his thanks for the
honor of presiding over the greatest
convention of Democrats in the history
of North Carolina. Then he announced
that he was ready for business.

claiming they could not be heard, urg-

better view of the platform be ar
