Executive Com
mittee, etc.
The delegates elected at the primary meeting
held in the several districts Of Baltimore county
on the 10th instant-a full list Of which was
printed in THE UNION last week-met in con-
| vention in Towson al noon on Tuesday. Every
| district was fully represented. The fusion"
! proposition was about the first to engage the
attention Of the delegates many Of whom
were opposed to 1t, but finally it was decided
that those calling themselves independent"
Democrats should have certain places on the
| ticket.
/ The convention was called to order by Mr..
Thomas V. Richardson, OF the 10th district,
by virtue Of his office as chairman OF the State
Central Committee for the county. Later,
| upon motion of Mr.. Laban Sparks, he was
made temporary chairman Of the convention,
and Mr.. T. Irwin Zimmerman, Of the Sd dis
trict, temporary secretary.
A committee on resolutions and permanent
organization, with Mr.. e. Ross Mace, chair
man, reported the list Of delegates submitted
entitled to seats in the convention and recon-
mended that the temporary officers be made
permanent, all OF which was adopted. The
committee also reported the following:
THE REVOLUTIONS.
RESOLVED, That we are in favor Of the con-
etruction of q system OF improved highways
through our county, and, recognizing the fact
that these can only be secured through the ex-
penditure of large sums of money, too great to
be raised by direct taxation, and that the most
practicable method of securing them within
reasonable time will be by means of q bond
issue by the county for this purpose, we be-
heye that the proper protection OF the interests
OF the taxpayers requires that this should not
be done unless the expenditure Of this money
be done through and by strictly non partisan
commission to be entirely separate and distinct
| from the County Commissioners Office, and as
neatly as possible divorced from politics.
Also we believe that bodybuilding should
be free from political faint and that the County
Commissioners should not sit as highways or
road commissioners.
And also we believe that these principals are
as true for the Republican as for the Demo-
cratic party, and il accepted by the people will
bring busincsslke and most satisfactory re-
suits.
The convention was then ready to proceed
with the nomination Of ticket, with the fol-
lowing result:

County Commissioner.
