 Fia +of fO 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 fight, and the vote in favor 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 3O6.
 The action of the majority in dou- bling the number of delegates was the result. it 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. P. Clarke's attack upon William Jen- nings Bryan was seen in the conyen- tion, and the con est which it was predicted would develop in connec- tion with 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 precipitated when Attorney General Hal L. Norwood was nominat- ed, Then the proposal to elect eight instead of four delegates at large was made, and with it's adoption the threat ened fight was avertea.
 Following the adoption of the mo- tion for the election of eight delegate stephen Brundidge of Searcy, Jerry c. South of Mountain Home. Champ Clark's Arkansas manager, and Judge B. B. Hudgins of Ha rison were nom- mated, and they, together with MT. Norwood and the four men first men, tioned, were electeI by acclamction. The name of X. o. Pindall 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 Reclamation.
 With the election of eight delegates, no alernates at large were elected.
 Resolution Upholds Bryan.
 Another result of Senator Clarke's criticism of MT. Bryan was the intro- duction of resolution, signed by four delegates, declaring that the conven- tion "disclaims any part in the at- 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 statesmaaship of Mir. 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
