REPUBLICANS IN CONVENTION
A Long SessiOn-Much Talk-Little Done.
Adjournment Until September II.

Adjournment Until September II.
The Republican primaries last Saturday re.
suited in the selection of number of delegates
not in accord with the ruling Westminster
dynasty in the party. DIR. J. j. Weaver was
the spokesman of the independents in the only
contest in the convention on Monday, and he
forced the machine to do business i'll the right
way.
Walter r. Rudy, chairman of the County
Genital Committee and Postmaster at Mt.
Airy called the convention to order, and
asked for nominations for chairman. Louis
f. Shriver, of Myers district. was nominated.
No others being named he was chosen by ac-
clamation DIR. W. W. Wi,herow, of fancy
town district, was made secretary. A com.
mittee Of one from each district was named on
Credentials, Permanent Organization and Re
solutions as follows: Charles +. ii. Shnner
DR.. l.. Kemp, Harvey s. Morelock, A. n.
Zen,z, thomas +. Bennett, John Ii. Miller,
,Joserh ID. Brooks, Weldon B. Wooden, j.
Albeit Easton, John Slagle. John A. Englar.
f. NJ. Ogle and Walter X. Rudy.
Joseph d. Brooks moved a recess of AN
hour. DIR. J. j. Weaver thought half an hour
was ample, saying that there were no contests
TO be considered, that the temporary 0ihcerS
could be made permanent. and that II the res
oluions had not been prepared they should
have been; that only a resolution condemnlng
the monstrous amendment WAS necessary ana
that could be done in five minutes: twenty
minutes was ample time for the committee TO
deliberate, and some of the delegates wanted
to 90 home.
Mr.. Brooks said the Republican convention
was unlike the Democratic convention, which
had its resolutions sent up from Baltimore III
from MANY. A delegate on the west side OF
the hall moved recess of au hour and quar-
ter. to give the committee time and allow the
delegates who did not bring their lunches
along TO get dinner. Several motions were
made in quick succession, amid talks on the
subject of a recess, one delegate declaring that
Tanevtown and Uniontown districts could not
run the convention. Finally recess was
taken from ll.20 to o CLOCK.
REAssEMBLED.
Att Is the convention got TO work again.
The committee, through Joseph d. Brooks,
tx Register of Wills, reported in favor OF
making the temporary officers permanent, and
the following.

1--WE deny that the Republican Party of Maryland
is composed of white men more interested in hold
ing public Office than in the general welfare, as
charged i'll the resolutions adopted by the late Dem
Ocralic convention. The white men of the Repub-
lican Party in Maryland will compare very favora-

and as proof that the white men of the Republican
