J. G nlSHllotSI Ol I1dle IOWISHlp then offered a resolution which re. quested Chairman Wood to resign, and in the same resolution named State Senator Hamp Williams as the sue ceeding chairman of the organization. Flemister is Wood supporter.
 No sooner had the resolution been offered than Judge c. V. Teague, leading the antiWood forces, asked the chairman to rule the resolution out of order as he had one week before ruled out of order a similar resolution by MT. Roberts asking the chairman to resign.
 Chairman Wood ruled that the reso lution was in order.
 Judge Teague then took the floor and review how Chairman Wood had ruled that a resolution one week ago asking his resignation was out of or der, and how now he was ruling that this resolution which called for his resignation was in order. Judge Teague assumed that Chairman Wood was accepting this request for "a res ignation because with it was embod- jed the election of a successor, and he stated that the resolution calling for two actions in one would be op- posed by him. He urged that there should first be vacancy before any. body was named to fill it, and stood pat on this ground.
 Dr. McClendon urged the adoption of the Flemister resolution, and later Bob Sigman was recognized and mov- ed that Judge Wood tender his resig- nation.
 B. H. Turner of Lee township. a veteran war horse of Democracy, saw ahead that a1split was imminent, and suggested that the chair appoint a committee of three members from each faction. and they retire and try to agree on chairman or a way out of the dilema. His suggestion was ignored.
 The Wood faction would not submit to division of their resolution which busted Wood and made Hamp Will. Hams the successor, and the anti-Wood  faction, which held the majority of the committee, refused 70 support any resolution to oust Wood that was qualified in any manner They want cd him removed by resolution which applied only to his yacating the chair and in the stubborn fight that followed they won.
 The distrust between the factions came near wrechng the committee un the rocks. Judge Te5gue and many of the committeeman who wanted Wood ous.ed also wanted Hamp Will Hams for chairman, but they refused to be bound to any successor until Wood was out. The opposition forces were unwilling to trust the anti-Wood faction for even that brief interval which marked the turning out of one chairman and replacing of another, and nearer and nearer the cnaft work. ed to the breakers ahead until the anti-Wood forces surrendered.
 Wood was then requested to resign, did so, and John c. Higgins was nom- mated and unanimously elected tenn porary chairman to preside during that brief interval which had been so feared by the Wood forces. He recog- nized Judge c. " Teague immediate ly after taking the chair, and Judge Teague nominated Hamp Williams For chairman. J. D. Flemister, who led the Wood forces, second the nomina. tion, and w, W. Little, a new commit man, moved that nominations close, which prevailed, and a minute after unanimous vote had been taken, Mir Higgins presented Chairman Hamp Williams to the committee.
 Judge c. " Teague then offered the report of the committee which had selected the judges and clerks afove named for the primary and they were endorsed and approved. Secre tary Erickson called attention to the fact that assessments would be nee essary to pay the country delegates mileage, and a motion was made coy. ering this subject
 The meeting might have been ad- 1ourned in a love feast but for the re- viy3l of the question of unseating the new committeeman, which was pre-. sented in a resolution by J. F. Flemis. ter, removing them all from the com mittee, resembling all the action of the committee last week, and cloth. ing only the old committee with the power of party affairs.
 The resolution was enthusiastically efas ftF.r fsa.I .l...
