COUNTY PLAN WILL DECIDE IT
WILL NOMINATE GOVERNOR BY
DELEGATES IN CONVENTION.
Rights of the Country Counties Re-
stored by Last State Convention.
What New Rule Provides.

The fact that the race for governor
is to be three-cornered lends added
interest and Importance to the rules
adopted by the state democratic ex-
ecutive committee putting it on the
county unit basis as directed by the
last state convention and further,
providing that where no candidate
receives a majority in county the
vote of that county shall be prorated
among the candidates in accordance
with the vote received by each.
Under the plan of force in the last
state primary, as advocated by Gov
ernor Smith, the candidates receiv-
ing the majority of the total vote
cast in the state, were declared the
nominees, and were also given the
right to select delegates from all the
counties, whether they had carried
them or not.
The last state convention changed
back to the old plan, by which each
county is given it's own representa-
ton in the convention, according to
the expression of its voters at the
polls, namely, twice as many dele
gates to be named from among the
friends of the candidate carrying the
county.

When Vote Is Prorated.

The state executive committee also
adopted a new rule under which 1t is
provided that where a candidate re-
ceives the majority of the vote in any
county he shall receive the entire
vote of that county in the conven-
ton, but if no candidate receives a
majority then the convention votes of
such county shall be prorated among
the candidates in accordance with
the number of votes received by each
candidate.
For instance, if a county polls l.
900 votes, and each of the three can
didates for governor receives 333
votes, then each candidate Will be
entitled in the convention to two
thirds of one vote from that county.
If one candidate receives 500 votes,
but not a majority, and the other
$50 each, then the first gets one vote
and the others half vote each.
The Rules as Adopted.
The rules on this subject as adopt
ed by the committee will be read
with statewide interest. They are
as follows:
81. That on Wednesday, the oath
day of August, 1910, at noon, the
county democratic executive commit
tee of each county shall assemble at
the court house of said county and
consolidate the vote and declare the
result. The chairman of such county
committee shall appoint from the
friends of the successful candidates
for governor, state house officers, SUI
preme and appellate court judges,
superior court judges and solicitors
general, delegates to the state con-
Vention to cast the vote of said coun-
ty for such successful candidates.
Any candidate for either of the Of
fees above named in this paragraph
who shall receive a majority of the
votes cast in any county for the par
ticular office for which he is a can
didate, the county democratic exec
utive committee shall prorate the
vote of such county among the said

named, in proportion to the vote re-
