Fight Over Report.
The report of the nominating committee
was not accepted without a fight. D. w.
Baker. who led the opposition against Mr..
Burdette, declared his faction had not re-
ceived the proper representation on the
state central committee. He said an under
standing had been reached, for the sake
of harmony in the party" whereby the
Baker faction would be given two out of
the five members. The report named only
one-Mr. Baker himself. In endeavoring
to carry his point Mr.. Baker aroused the
ire of County Chairman Burdette and YER
bal pyrotechniCs followed, which for a while
threatened the desired harmony. Mr.. Bur-
dette came out victorious and now II is 0e-
clared the dove of peace will perch upon
the banner of the party and plume Its bur-
nished wings at ease.
With one or two exceptions, the ticket is
said to be the strongest the republicans
have ever put up in this county. Senator
Moore has promised to make a hot fight,
and II is claimed Blair Lee will have to do
some strenuous work to overcome the per-
sonal popularity of the head of the repub-
lican ticket Mr.. Moore cast his maiden
vote for John C. Fremont and has been
prominent in Montgomery county politics
ever since. He has represented the party
once in the state senate.
Mr.. Dawson's Promise.
Much Importance also Is placed in the
promise of Tom Dawson of this place, to
put his shoulder to the wheel. Mr.. Daw-
son is one of the best known republicans
in the county and served as permanent
chairman of the convention yesterday. The
fact that harmony preserved was due
to his tact and watchfulness in handling
certain delegates who seemed determined to
start disturbance.
The county committee. composed of one
member from each precinct from the
county, in addition to the chairman, is now
constituted as follows: Laytonsville, Luther
NJ. Duvall; Clarksburg, John G. Smith;
j.
first precinct, Edward Wood, jr.; second
precinct, Benjamin c. Riggs; Colesville,
Fielder Marlowe; Jamestown. Harrison G..
Ward; Bethesda Galen l.. TAFT; Olney, first
precinct. Henry H. Miller; second precinct,
William Z. Brown; Gaithersburg, Peyton
Gordon; Potomac, Robert w. Stone;
GAINESVILLE, Henry NJ. Lindg; Damascus,
Columbus F. Purdum; Wheaton. first pre-
cinct, William C. Dwyer; second precinct,
William A. Knoll.
Text of Resolutions.
The resolutions, which were unanimously
adopted, set forth that 1.-The republicans Of
Montgomery county, through their repre-
ser tatives assembled firmly renew their
devotion to the time honored principles of
thu republican party, and point with pride
to the magnificent record of our noble
President of all the people, Theodore Roose-
welt; and also to the highly creditable ca
reer of our representative in Congress, Col
George A. Pearre.
THAT this convention unanimously in
dorses the record of George A. Pearre, the
representative of the 9th Maryland district
in Congress, whose faithful services as such
representative have been of nestimable
value 10 this district and state and whose
grea' ability, charitablencss and sympa-
thetic nature have endeared him to the
people of Maryland.
That we are unalteraby opposed to the
adoption OF the disfranch sing amendment
passed AT the last session of the leglSla-
ture, because we believe II to be unfair, IN
just and dishonest 10 deprive any man of
the right OF suffrage without cause who
has once exercised it; because the adoption
of the amendment will destroy the infiu-
ence of the independent vote of the state,
which now holds the balance of power and
in tie exercise of which power lies the best
guarantee of good nominations for offices
and of good legislation; because the adop-
ton of the amendment will place the cit
izenship of many at the mercy of partisan
election officials, some of whom, perhaps
will be unable to pass an examination as to
the educational qualifications necessary to
register
Opposed to Tax Collection Method.
We are opposed to the present anti
quated. inefficient and expensive method Of
the collection of taxes in this county and
the candidates of tbs convention for the
Legislature are pledged, If elected, to favor
a bill for a county treasurer, and thus
place the county in line with the progress
siVe counties of the state, where it belongs
and where the treasurer system has been
tried with success.
THAT we are in favor of sustaining the
present prohibition liquor law of the county
and pledge the nominees of this convention
