| After a recess extending from $3.50
to 7:3O p. M, the reports were rea-
dy for the consideration of the con-
vention. 1t was in the preparation OF
| these reports that the storm clouds
were driven away, nature assisting
by sending good shower to cool the
atmosphere. One party, under the
leadership of U. S. Bateman, Chair
man Whiteman and R. D. Bell, want
ed the convention to adopt the reso-
| lutionS of the two Roswell precincts
in the precinct conventions last Tues
day night. John w. Poe, A. J. Welter
| and w. G. Burrus led the opposition
to the adoption of the precinct reso-
lutions. Another cause of contention
was in the report of the committee
on permanent organization. The con-
vention was divided as to whether
the temporary officers should be made
permanent and become the officers
of the county central committee.
In the four hours that intervened
| between the afternoon and evening
sessions there was manifested a good
old-fashioned Democratic disposition
! to get together, and the result was
the reporting of a platform satisfac-
| tory to all, and those who first op-
posed the election of Mr.. Wniteman
&C oh, n oiJsT11a
| give him their support.
The report of the credentials com
mittee, made at the re-opening Sat
urday night and seating all delegates
/ present, was unanimously adopted, as
was also the report of the committee
on permanent organization, wlich
provided that the temporary officers
be made permanent and that the
chairman of the county central com
mittee be selected from the floor OF
the house and that each precinct
name member of the central com
mittee.
Then came the reading of the re
port of the resolutions committee
and this was frequently interrupted
by the applause of the delegates. The
