Instruct for Roosevelt After
Lurid Lengths of 0ratory.
F. N. MCCULLOUGH
ELECTED CHAIR MAN
Will Hold Primary April 4th To
Nominate Candidates.

The republicans of Marion county
met at Jasper Friday in mass conven-
tion, and after stormy session in
structed delegates to the congressional
convention for Roosevelt and decided
to have primary for nominations for
County officers on April 4, F. M. Nc
Cullough was chairman Of convention,
and was also elected Chairman of Ex-
ecutive Committee for ensuing two
years.
The meeting was called to order at
1:15 p. M, by d. A. Tate, of South
Pittsburg, who acted so at request of
M. II. Merritt who has filled very
ably the position of Chairman of Re-
publican Executive Committee for past
two years. F. M. Mccullough was
nominated for Chairman of meeting,
and unanimously elected, as was also
S. s. Tate for secretary. Mr.. d. A.
Tate, of South Pittsburg, moved that
the temporary organization be made
permanent J. w. Morrison, of Whit
well, offered an amendment that the
election of Messrs Mccullough and
Tate be made permanent, meaning
that they should be placed at head of
Executive Committee. Messrs. Tate
and J. I. Raulston objected to this on
ground that after temporary organi-
zation was made, it required a motion
and vote to make it permanent before
business could be transacted. There
was hot fight over this point and
lots of oratory, which ended in the
graceful withdrawal by Mr.. Morrison
of his amendment A vote was then
taken on motion of Mr.. Tate that the
temporary organization be made per-
manent, and it was so voted.
tJ. G. Kelly moved that the chair
man appoint committees of five each
for the following: On Resolutions,
on Permanent Organization, and on
Congressional Delegates.
This was carried, and the following
Committees were appointed:
