 A motion prevailed that the voters or Egypt he allowed to vote at Pal. estine.
 oh motion of Mr. Nelson, the seiee- tion oi polling places and judges WAS ratified by the committee.
 A motion was made and carried that to insure their names being nut on the ticket, all candidates must place the same with the fee in the hands of MT. H. A. Knight on or be. fore March 3, 1906.
 Mr. F. Duncan, presented the fol. lowing resolution:
 Be 1t resolved by the executive com. mittee of the democratic party of St. Francis county, Arkansas, in execu. tive session assembled, that 1t Is the sense Of this committee that St. Fran. cis county should select by majority vote, at the next primary election to be held Wednesday, March 2s, 1906 the nominee of the thirty-second sen. storial district of Arkansas, being composed of the counties of St. Fran. cis and Crittenden, and be 1t further.
 Resolved: That we recommend to the senatorial committee of this sena. torial district that they, by resolution. declare that St. Francis county alone shall vote for candidates for the state senate, and that the names of such candidates be not placed on the tick. cts to be voted for in Crittenden county, and we hereby instruct our senatorial committeeman, Judge J. $. k. Cowan, 10 vote for such resolution and use his influence to secure it's pas. sage.
 According to rotation this i, the year for St Francis county to name the senator, therefore we do not think 1t just, as we have two candidates. to let Crittenden county participate in naming the senatorial candidate; We point you to Cross and Woodruff counties. In that case Cross county says to Woodruff county: it is your time to name the senator; for that reason we will not vote on that prop osition al all, and whoever you Wood ruff county, name, we bind ourselves to vote for him In the September election.
 We think this nothing more than fair and just to say that Crittenden county has no voice in naming the next senator from this district; if they should do so 1t will not be St. Francis county naming the candidate but 1t will be Crittenden county doing so. For that reason we enter our protest.
 we hereby further instruct our senatorial committeeman In case Crit. tenden county should dissent from this, Jour proposition, based upon time. honored democratic usage, he leave the matter Of choice of state senator to the delegated senatorial convention of the two counties "
 Considerable discussion ensued on this subject, in which MT. German stated that 1t was like playing with fire to entertain the resolution;that 1t was matter which belonged solely to the senatorial committee, and that 1t was infringing upon their rights for this committee to dictate, and made motion to reject the petition. H. A. Knight seconded the motion, which being put, resulted in the following vote:
 Messrs. German and Knight voting for rejection; Messrs. Rolfe (proxy), McDougal tproxy) and Duncan (proxy), against rejection, and the remainder of the eleven committeeman not voting.
 The convention then adjourned sub. feet to the call of the chairman
