 Little Rock.-The Democratic State Convention at it's closing session elected eight delegates at large to the National convention, giving each dele. gate one-half vote each. This was done only after a fight, and the vote in flavor of sending eight instead of four delegates was close. An effort to table the motion providing for eight delegates was defeated by a vote of 264 to BOG.
 The action Of the majority in dou- bling the number of delegates was the result, 1t was generally conceded, of a desire on the part of the leaders to prevent an attempt to break the slate which had been prepared. The feel ing which was caused by SenatorJas ?. Clarke's attack upon William Jen- nfngs Bryan was seen in the conven- fion, and the contest which it was predicted would develop in connec- ton witf the selection of the Big Four" materialized when an effort was made to elect Senators Clarke and Davis, Congressman Robinson and John H. Hinemon, the four men pick ed by the Robinson forces. The con. test was preeipitated when Attorney General Hal L. Norwood was nominat- ed Then the proposal to elect eight dnstead of four delegates at large was made, and with it's adoption the threat ened fight was aYerted.
 Following the adoption of the mo- Sion for the election Of eight deleeates, Stephen Brundidge of Searcy. Jerry C. South of Mountain Home Champ Clark's Arkansas manager, and Judge B. B. Hudgins of Harrison were nom mated. and they, together with Mr. Norwood and the four men first men fioned, were elected by exclamation. The name of K C. PindaH of Little Rock was also presented, but he fell victim to the steam roller when the rules were suspended and the eight other men nominated were elected by exclamation.
 With the election of eight delegates ne alternates at large were elected.
 Resolution Uphoids Bryan.
 Another result of Senator CIarke's criticism of Mr Bryan was the intro. duction of q resolution, signed by four delegates, declaring that the conven. tion @disclaims any part in the al. tack on MT. Bryan, and repudiates the same as uncalled for" The reso. lution proceeded further to express faith and confidence in the purity. sincerity and statesmanship of Mr. Bryan.
 The resolution was read, and Chair man Martin ordered it referred to the committee on resolutions. It died with the committee. together with several other resolutions which were offer.
