The committee on resolutions went to
the Democratic League at noon to frame
recommendation for new rules including
the changes. Chairman Cassidy announced
that the committees report would be sub
tect to the discussion and adoption by the
convention.
Tho principal changes suggested were
the abolition Of the rule providing for 70.
tatlon Of nominations in the rural dis.
tricts Of the county, particularly for STATE
Senators and Levy Courtmen, and q
change from the convention method Of
nominating certain county officers to the
direct primary method OF nominating
candidates for all Offices
Another change proposed which IS 6
cause of disagreement is that for &
county executive committee 20 a body ol
the rural county. rural chairman, two
members and a ohairan from WI ming
ton. Each senatorial district is to have
a member.
Tic principal opposition developed a
noon TO the proposed abolition ortrctatloT
Of nominations through the rural Sena
toral districts. Some OF tho rural dele
gates voiced themselves as opposed e
this change, and the matter was thresheC
out IN the meeting Of tho committee oI
resolutions at noon. 1t win be acted on b,
the convention itself this afternoon ant
probably will be adopted.
The new draft of rules provides that tn
nomination for state Senator this fal
shall go 10 the following districts: Bran
dywino hundred I'm the third Senatoria
district; Red Lion hundred in the FIT
Senatorial district; Blackbird hundred 4
; tho Seventh Senatorial district After thi
year rotation shall be abolished.
Another important change suggested 4
the draft is that enabling the county com
mittee 10 ill vacancies on the Democrat
ticket either by its own selection or b
calling a special primary. Heretofore th
next highest man at the primary or in IN
/ nominating convention succeeded to va
cancy
Changes also will be made in the nun
ber OF members OF the city and count
committee to make them less cumbror
as an organization.
