The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-03-27
Previous Action for C0nven-
 ton Wiped Out.
Montgomery Democrats Select Mana gers of Election on April II and Provide Equitable Method
 of Selecting Delegates.

The Democratic Executive Committee or Montgomery County yesterday by vote of two to one, rescinded its former action in ordering a County Convention and adopted a resolution providing for the selection of delegates to the State Convention by direct vote of the peo- pie
 The action of the committee assures every voter of the county of having eQnal right, but no more. in choosing delegates to the State Convention. The Committee wiped out the proposed con vcntion with hardly a protest from It's advocates. No member took the floor to auxocate CT defend the obsolete County Convention proposition.
 The previous action of the Committee hsd been done by a vote of Il to 8. Un- der that resolution delegates to the State Convention would have been selected in the County Convention. The County Convention would have been composed ofkthirteen delegates from each of twen- tys beats and of five delegates fr6m Beat r, Highland Park. Population or the number of votes cast would not have been considered in the election of representatives. The smallest beat in the county would have had equal Representation in the convention with Beat 4. of the city, the largest beat in the county.
 When the committeeman realized that tae sentiment of the voters of Montgom- ers was against the injustice of an old tiIhe County Convention they had no hesitancy in changing the plan, and they di6 this without any advocate of the con- vehtion taking the floor in support of the proposition although a feeble protest came from one of the members of the Committee.
 Vote for Delegates Direct.
 Under the resolution adopted each voter votes for a delegation from Montgomery County of nineteen members direct. The delegation can be selected from any sec tion of the county and any voter has the right to put out delegation pro- vidlng he files the names with Chairman Ray Rushton before April l. and de- posits S19 to pa ythe cost of printing,
 The County Committee also changed slightly the regulations for the nomina- tion of members of the Board of Rev. enue. Under the law the members of the Beard will have to come from the reve- nut districts and yesterdays resolution makes no change in this provision. Cn- der the first resolution the successful mar had to get the most votes in the primary in his particular district. The resolution of yesterday provides if there should be more than one candidate from any particular district the candidate who receives the most votes in the entire cor nty shall be the nominee although he might get less than his opponent in their particular district.
 The Committee elected full complement of election officers for the primary.
 The Committee met promptly at noon, beng called to order by Chairman Ray Rushton. Every member of the Commit tee was present or represented by proxy.
