! When a state conference of dem
ccrats is held at Waco on Saturday.
| ing of the state executive committee
that a primary election be ordered
for the selection of four delegates at

Denver IN July, Ellis county will
probably have in attendance one of
the largest delegations of any coun-
ty in the state. The Waco confer
ence has been called by Geo. w.
Riddle of Dallas. chairman of the
state democratic club. The demo
Gratis of every county and precinct
in Texas have been asked to organ
ize and send delegates to that con-
ference in order that the people
might express themselves concern
ing who shall go to Denver as dele
gates at large.
One of the first meetings held in
the state occurred in Waxahachie
Thursday afternoon at o'clock.
Quite a number of democrats were
present. The meeting was addressed
by Rev VIM. A. Bowen of George
town, a representative of the state
democratic club of which Geo. w.
Riddle is chairman. He explained in
few words the object of the con-
ference to be held at Waco.
At the conclusion of his remarks
Col. c. r. Gibson was elected chair
man of the meeting and w. s. KEN
BILE secretary.
The following committee was ap-
pointed to draft resolutions and pre-
pare list of delegates to the Waco
conference: ]. T. Gill, T. F. Thomp-
son and Capt. w. A. Boyce.
The committee reported the fol-
lowing resolutions, which were
unanimously adopted
Resolved, first, that this mass
meeting of democratic voters ap-
proves the call for state confer
ence at Waco on March made by
Chairman Riddle of the democratic
club of Texas, and that we proceed
to elect delegates to attend same.
Second, that we condemn the ar
bitrary and undemocratic course of
the state executive committee in re-
fusing the democrats OF the state an
opportunity to vote directly upon the
choice of delegates at large to the
democratic national convention.
Third, that we instruct our dele
gates to the Waco conference to vote
for the selection of a ticket to be
presented as candidates for delegates
at large to the Denver convention to
be composed of representative demo-
Gratis whose presence in the nation
al convention will not bring reproach
upon the democracy of Texas
