out of the state democratic conven-

Voted Against Watson.
Watson tried to force a separate
vote on delegates large, probably
in an attempt to defeat Fielder, Brant-
ley ard Pendleton, but he was voted
down
The morning session lasted from
noon to 2.30, then adjourned to meet
at 4.30 for a report from the resolu-
tions committee. At the afternoon
session, Walter Steed of Taylor coun-
ty, and A. J. Cobb of Clark, were
elected as electors at large, w. w.
Larsen being defeated by narrow
margi
Larsen and E. S. Griffith of Haral-
son, were elected alternate electors.
The resolutions committee reported
one resolution binding the delegation
to Oscar w. Underwood, first and
last, and putting unit rue on delega-
ton. The convention then adjourned,
leaving fifteen resolutions of all sorts
offered by Watson without any action.
Delegates to the Baltimore conven-
ton met Immediately afterwards ip
the Aragon and Clark Howell was
named chairman and Douglas Near
thur, secretary. Watson, Pendleton,
Hutchens and Brantley were all nom.
mated as chairman of the delegation.
Watson arose and withdrew, moving
the unanimous election of the "Nestor
of Georgia journalism, the able edi-
tor Of the Macon Telegraph" A wild
scene of enthusiasm followed and the
other nominations were withdrawn,
making Pendleton's selection unani-
nous.
Clark Howell was reelected national
committee man for the sixth consecu-
tive term.
AS a whole the meeting was peace
full all through. The first session
packed the opera house and caused
some confusion.
Watson was generally as tame as
a lamb, although he made a show of
fighting for principles. He says he
will go to Baltimore, although he has
personal enemies in the delegation
from this state.
