On motion the executive committee |
of the county central committee was |
empowered to fill all vacancies that |
might occur in either delegation, and |
the delegates actually in attendance
the entire delegation.
A motion to adjourn was then made,
but ere 1t was passed one Of the dele
gate introduced a resolution pledging
the delegates to use their efforts at the
state convention to have local op-
tion plank inserted In the platform,
making 1t incumbent upon the Repub-
Iican party to pass law to that ef-
feet in the legislature that will con-
yene In January. 1909. The resolution
was adopted by very strong majority,
but there is some fair minded ques-
tioning as to the justice Of it being
introduced after the delegates had al
ready been elected. They were not
given an opportunity to express an
opinion on the subject when they be-
came candidates. and some doubt Is ex-
pressed as to the delegation being
obliged to support the resolution.
Convention adjourned.
