Of the contenders, he was elected 10y
Il vote of "a TO II.
The chairman then appointed the
following committee on credentials:
w. V. Biddison. NJ. +. Cline and c.
T. Abbott, the first two men named
being Brady men and the last Gal
broah supporter. A committee on res
olutions consisting of Oscar Howard a
Galbreath man and Thomas Blair and
r. T.. Morley, both Brady men, was
| appointed. These committees withdrew
to report when the convention read
! iourned at 2:30 o'clock.
When the delegates and spectators
| filed back in the convention room at
2:3O. even the dense clouds of smoke
could not dispel the gathering war
clouds, and the afternoon session was
just as stormy as the first one, but 1t
was evident that Brady still controlled
his forces with an iron hand.
The committee on credentials re-
ported and in every case of a contest,
returned the Brady adherent to his
seat. A minority report was submit
ted by the Galbreath member Of the
committee, but the majority report
was adopted by vote of the same
Brady majority that had been shown
before.
Candidates Heard.
While waiting for the committee on
resolutions to report the two candi-
dates themselves were called on to
state their views. 1t was evident that
the Brady supporters were little
worried about the delay in the res
olutions committee to report and II
was soon whispered that the commit
tee had n fight on its hands, as one
of the Brady supporters was inclined
to bolt.
Mr.. Galbreath, in a Commute ad-

county primary to settle the matter
Of which of the two should get the

S-story building in Tulsa, of how
much money he had contributed TO
the democratic party and other irrev-

Mr.. Brady, in response, opposed a
county primary but stated that he
was willing to stump the entire state
with Mr.. Galbreath, and leave the
matter to the democratic voters OF
the state at the August primary. He
also told of his record in business and
politics.
Resolution Committee Carried.
The resolution committee then
brought In their report The two
Brady members submitted report
advocating the settlement of the mat
ter by the convention and opposing |
the primary plan advocated by the |
Galbreath men. Oscar Howard, the |
third member of the committee re-
turned a report advocating leaving |
matter to primary to be held next
month He moved that his report
he adopted and a second was secured.
Then the real pyrotechnics broke
loose. Thomas Lyons. Galbreath
man, in a fiery address appealed to
the convention 10 adopt the primary
system, saying that It would be op-
posed to the principles of the demo-
cratic party to forsake the primary
system. j. ]. n. Sykes Brady man
from Broken Arrow, voting n proxy
secured the floor and in bitter
speech attacked the primary plan.
Loud calls of question" secured a
roll call vote and the minority report
was defeated by a vote of % TO 15.
