ny Obtains and the Brother ir
Black Not In Evidence.
In one Of the most harmonious con
ventions over held by the republi
cans Of this county, the republicans
this afternoon endorsed the admin
istrations of President Taft and Gov
Hooper and instructed the delegates
appointed to vote for the re-nomina
tion of both so long as their names
shall be before the conventions.
The. convention was strictly a
white mans affair emphasizing the
fact that SO far as Maury county is
concerned the negro has become a
permanent asset of the straight OF
Patterson" democracy. 1t was rep
resentatiye of all sections and was a
genuinely brotherly assembly Of the
q. O. p. Of the councy.
+. H. Foster, of Culleoka, affiliated
with the Hooper or Sanders faction,
was the chairman, and VIM. Barker,
4 member of the other faction, was
maize secretary. The committees
were made up of leaders of both OF
the old factions.
The resolutions laud Taft and
azooper; instruct for their renomina-
ton; endorse Beasley and Mount for
members Of the state executive COM
Mittoe and instruct for Marion Rich
ardson. Of Lawrence, and R. s. Hop
xins, Of Maury, for delegates from
this congressional district to the ma
tional republican convention.
The resolutions declare for a ma
tional anti-liQuor law, against the is
suance Of federal licenses to liquor
dealers In prohibition territory and
federal law to prohibit the manufact-
ure Of intoxicants where the sane is
prohibited by state law.
The committee on resolutions was
composed of John w. Jackson, r. s.
Hopkins and J. G. Hickman, and the
committee on delegation was made
up of M. L. Stokes, H. F. Fariss and
Hughes.
While the committees were out
ringing speech was made by Col. A.
M. Hughes, who saw republican vic
tory, state and national in the air.
Z There was only one contest in the
and that came after all
the business had been attended to,
the resolutions committee report
adopted and the delegates appointed. |
The fight started with Col Archaleus
". Hughes, whose love for Teddy the
Terrible is like that of the Devil for
Holy Water, proposed a resolution |
hat the convention was irrevokably
opposed to a third term for any man
.r President of the United States.
III. Barker at once moved to table.
he motion to table failed by one
cte and the resolution was then
dopted
The resolution of Col. Hughes fol-
lws:
Resolved, That we are unaltera.
