Ashevile, N. c., July 13.


Hon. J. NJ. Gudger, Jr., was
last night nominated for congress
by the democratic convention OH
the fifth ballot, after the most
hotly contested fight experienced
in the district since the nomina
ble convention of 1902 held at
Hendersonville. When Mr.. Gud-
ger failed of the nomination on
the first ballot the opposition got
together and put up a fight that,
for stubbornness, is seldom wit
messed in democratic conven-
ton. But when the final result
was made known all of the candi-
dates appeared before the conVen-
tor and in fine spirit thanked
their friends for loyal support
and pledged themselves to stand
blythe nominee.

gateg reported disagreement as to

their representation! These were
Cherokee, Haywood, Mcdowell
and Swain. The disagreement in
Mcdowell amounted to nothing. .
The contested votes in Swain,
Cherokee, Mcdowell and Hay
wood were minor affairs, but the
result of the decisions made it diff
Eficult to calculate the count. j. g.
Tatum, one of the delegates for.
Cooke claimed that on account of
lack of representation in the coun-
ty convention Of Cherokee from
two precincts the proper vote for
Cooke was not sent in and claimed
that with this strength counted
Cooke would have about one half
vote more.
In the Haywood convention the
vote of Big Creek township was
cast soidly for Gudger, and this
was done by proxy, which it was
alleged was irregular. This vote
was therefore protested. In Swain
county one precinct reported to
the county convention as soidly
for Gudger was alleged to have
had three votes for Cooke which
changed the county vote for each
man by a few thousandths.
Pending the hearing of these
contests the convention took re
cess for fifteen minutes. On reas-
sembling the convention adopted
a motion to proceed with the NOM
nation of candidates for the con-
sideration of the delegates.
Buncombe was the first county
called and Mr.. j. Scoup Styles
put the name of Hon. j. M. Gud-
ger, Jr:, before the convention. He
was followed by Judge Henry B.
Stevens, who nominated Hon. Will
liam j. Cooke, and by Mr.. Louis
M. Bourne who nominated Hon.
Frank r. Hewitt.
Hon. Felix e. Alley presented
the name of Walter E. Moore in
beautiful speech which COM
pletely captured the convention.
Matt McBrayer offered Col. Solo
man Gallert.
At this juncture Chairman Can
non announced hat ne had just re
ceived telegram from home tell
ing him Of a sudden illness in his
family which made it necessary
for him to leave on the next train,
and he called Mr.. t. A. Morphew
Of Marion to the chair. Mr.. Nor
phew was thereupon made perma-
nent chairman.
The committee on credentials
finally reported ,and their report
cut down the vote of the conven-
ion by three votes, Mr.. Gudger
losing two and a half and Mr..
Cooke one half.
The report recommended that.
half vote for Gudger in Big
Greek precinct in Haywood county
be thrown out because the precinct
was represented by proxy in. the
county convention. That the two
two votes for Gudger In Topton,
Orgreeta, Long Ridge, and Hot
house. precincts in Cherokee be not
allowed because they were not
represented at the county conven-
ton by accredited delegates, and
that one half a vote for Cooke In
Brasstown precinct IN Cherokee be
not allowed. The report read.
justed the vote Of Swain three
votes of Swain because 3 votes
in the county convention had not
been counted for Cooke ,and made
its convention vote Gudger 5.91
and Cooke 2.65.
Mr.. Gudger's manager and sup
porters generally opposed the
adoption of the report, making the
point of order that the convention
could not go behind the results an
nounced by the various county con
ventions. The chair sustained the
contention and his action threw
