Mr.. Mcdowell as to whether or mo-
he had only received information
from my friends and waited thai
long before making any effort tc
learn the result of the convention
from the different district conven-
tons. There was, and is not any
contest made except as to conven.
tons in 13 and 4, and he was in the
convention in d, and the convention
in 4 was organized in the store
house Of Tom J. Bonner, friend
and supporter of McDowell's who
has telephone in his store and in
his residence.
In acknowledging his defeat he
was compelled to have conceded
that carried No. 13. The propo-
sition made by DR.. Matlock, to
which Mr.. Mcdowell referred. and
says he favored, is ridiculous on its
face. "Too expensive, says Nc

whether or not a proposed voter
was entitled to vote If these two
men could not agree? Many other
reasons will occur to anyone show.
ing the absurdity of the PROPOSE
ton.
As will be remembered, after l
became candidate, and before the
were held, published
a statement favoring a primary,
but did not secure it. The conven-
ton was held and | was nominated.
and since Mr.. Mcdowell saw proper
to enter the race as he has, l was
for reasons stated, to have
a primary TO settle the matter, and
none of these propositions have
been accepted by Mr.. Mcdowell.
So the matter will now have to be
decided at the regular election in
