PRIMARY PLAN
'<OF COMMITTEE
METHOD BY WHICH THE NEW
GOVERNING AUTHORITY WILL
BE ELECTED.
PRECEDENTS OF YEARS FOLLOWED
Resolutions Certifying Election Of Del
esates to the Senatorial conVen-
ton at Hohenwaid.

An interesting feature of the meet
ing of the Democratic Executive Com
mittee on Saturday was the effort
made by the Patterson faction to
change the apportionment of the
new committee. DR.. Collins wanted
to have two members elected from
each of the new districts regardless
of the population and one member
from the county at large. This would
have changed the whole plan OF rep
resentation, which is based on the
Democratic vote and would even have
violated the precedent even of Bans
Committee, which gave the counties
representation on the basis of the
Democratic vote.
The motion of Dr. Collins was laid
on the table, but two members voting
for it, the author and French Straley
There the resolutions offered by the
subcommittee and which follow the
presidents of years, were adopted by
a vote of 10 to 2. The detailed vote
follows:
Members voting Aye: Mcknight,
Hardison, Denton, Hill, Hobbs, Amis,
Dew, Latta, Foster, Smiser, Frazier,
Tomlinson, McKennon, Smith, Akin,
Forgey, Gregory, Mckay and Lamar,

Members voting No. Collins and

by the committee:

Primary.
Special to The Herald.


HOHENWALD Tenn. Sept. ga
After the adjournment of the regular
convention. the boiling or Patterson
delegates to the Senatorial convention
met at l o'clock yesterday afternoon
and nominated Hon. Joseph H. Fus-
sell of Maury county. The contesting
delegations from the three counties
had assembled at the same time that
the regular convention met and gone
through the form of electing Judge w.
o. Gordon, Of Maury county, as Chair
man, but evidently the regular con-
vention being too largely attended
and making too much noise for them,
they took recess until o'clock.
At that hour the convention COM
posed of the delegations from Maury,
Lewis and Perry elected by the Pat
terson faction, re-assembled and the
anti-Greer of contesting delegates
delegates from Maury elected by the
II members of last Saturdays mass
convention we're seated, the Patter-
son delegates from Lewis, were seated
and both delegations from Perry were
seated, but the Carmack or Greer del
egation would not participate
Hon. Jos. H. RUSSELL of Maury coun-
ty was then nominated and the State
platform was adopted as was resolu-
ton expressing regret at the split in
the party. "a
During the morning an, effort was
made by some Of the leaders of the
opposing delegations to reach an
agreement, which eliminated in the
submission of proposition by the
Patterson faction to hold primary
on Oct. 10. This, however, would not
have given time for legal primary
nor was any provision made for the
expense thereof which would have
been very large. 1t also called for
the same type Of primary that was
held in the Gubernatorial election
which a majority of the Democrats OF
the district, it was not believed, would
have endorsed. For that reason the
was declined.
The written proposition submitted
by the Patterson faction and the reply

CUBS FOOD
They Thrive On Grape-Nuts.

Healthy babies don't cry, and the
well-nourished baby that is fed on
Grape-Nuts is never a crying baby.
Many babies who cannot take any
other food relish the perfect food,
Grape-Nuts, and get we'll.
my little baby was given up by
three doctors, who said that the con-
densed milk on which l had fed her
had ruined the child's stomach. One
Of the doctors told me that the only
thing to do would be to try Grape
Nuts, SO | got some and prepared it
Rs follows: | soaked liz tablespoon
fuls in M pint of cold water for half
an hour, then l strained off the liquid
and mixed IL teaspoonfuls of this
strained Grape-Nuts juice with six
t~easpoonfuls of rich milk, put in a
pinch of salt and a little sugar,
warmed it and gave it to baby every
two hours.
I'm this simple, easy way l saved
baby's life and have built her up to a
strong, healthy child, rosy and laugh
ing. The food must certainly be per-
feet to have such a wonderful effect
as this. / can truthfully say l think
1t is the best food in the world to
raise delicate babies on, and is also a
delicious, healthful food for grown
ups, as we have discovered in our
family"
Grape-Nuts is equally valuable to
the strong, healthy man or woman.

is always on the boom, let us grade

reporter, newspaper man, journalist,

placed the office boy at the top of the
list because he runs the office, and no

cence. The hand that rules the office

JUDGE FLAYS JEROME FOR
ACTS BEFORE GRAND JURY

New York City.-Practically ac-
| cusing District Attorney Jerome of
| willful intent to evade the law and to
mislead the Grand Jury, Judge Ro-
| salsky, in General Sessions, dis
missed the contempt proceedings
| which Jerome had brought against
| Paul D. Cravath, counsel for Thomas
F. Ryan. Cravath had refused to
| tell the Grand Jury what had passed
between him and Ryan in connection
with the sale of the Wall and Cort-
landt Street Ferries Railway Com
pany's franchises to the Metropolitan
Securities Company by Anthony N.
Brady through William C. Whitney.
BY that transaction about $715,000
in excess of the amount Brady
charged for the franchises was drawn
from the treasury of the Metropoli-
tan Securities Company and divided
up among Whitney, Ryan, P. A. B..
Widener, William J.. Elkins, Thomas
Dolan and Moore G. Schley, bankers.
The bankers said the amount they re-
ceived was used to wipe out an in
~debtedness which was on their books
against Whitney.
Cravath refused to tell the Grand
Jury anything about the converse
lions which had passed between MIN
and Ryan in relation to that deal.
He contended the communications
were confidential as between counsel
and client. A rule to show cause
why he should not be punished for
contempt was issued against him, and
the president Of the American Bar
Association and the president of the
New York State Bar Association ap-
peared in his defense. Judge Rosal-
sky upholds the contention of Cra-
vath and his lawyers, and in doing sc
deals to Jerome such a scoring as per-
haps no other District Attorney ever
received from the bench. He init
mates, seemingly, that Jerome's gen.
eral intent was to have invalid In
dictments found against Thomas F.
Ryan, who seemingly was the GRIM
inal in the case, if there was any
criminal. Not only that, but he dis
charges the Grand Jury from fur
Their consideration of the case because
of the doubtful validity of Jerome's
entire procedure. To repair the DAM
age he says Jerome has done, Judge
Rosalsky directs that a new Grand
Jury shall take hold of the case, and
expresses the hope the District Attor-
ney in this new proceeding will find
the guilty person or persons.
In view of Judge Rosalsky's eXcor-
iation of District Attorney Jerome
for the manner in which he conducted
the examination of Thomas F. Ryan
before the Grand Jury, OIL which the
prosecution failed to secure an indict-
ment, the removal of Jerome is de-
manded.
The New York World, Democratic,
which supported Jerome in the recent
election, says:
Conduct like this on the part of a
District Attorney warrants his in
slant removal"
The New York Press, Republican,
which also supported Jerome, says:

alone Jerome is proved to be unfit for
