party in this state met In separate
conventions today and each chose one
half the number Of entitled delegates
to the national convention in Chicago

The split was a friendly one, sep
arate meetings having been decided
upon to keep down feuds incident to
past mixed conventions.
The white caucus put into the field
a state ticket on which were several
Democrats.
The local meeting was chara acterized
by the exclusion Of negroes who sought
to attend. H. L. Anderson charged
that Taft recently appointed District
Attorney J. NJ. Cheney to succeed Fed
eral Judge Locke to repay the national
committeeman for delivering the state
vote.
