Mr. Gibson then said that it had been
customary for the Republicans and Demo-
Gratis to make up the Justice ticket and |
that two years ago the Progressives were
shut out He said that the Democrats
favored giving the Progressves fair rep
resentation this year, but that the Repub-
hcans were determined to shut them out |
again, and he told of conversation which
he had had on the subject with members |
of the Democratic and Republican town |
committees. He suggested that a com |
mittee of three. to consist Of DIR. Thomas |
Rice, J. G.. Stafford and Henry w. ST |
monds, be appointed to confer with the |
Republicans and Democrats to see what
Representation the PrOgressves could Sc
cure on the justice ticket The committee
as suggested by Mr.. Gibson was appoint
| ed, and it was then voted not to transact
| any other business until the committee
! had reported. \ part of the time was
taken up by Mr.. Gibson in reading the
| Progressive state platform and in com
menting upon certain phases Of the ludI-
ciary OF the state.
There was a long wait before the com
mittce returned. and it was suggested
| that the committee had become lost and
that another should be appointed to see
if it could be located Finally they re-
! turned and DIR, Rice reported that the
| Democrats appointed a committee Of five
and the Republicans a committee Of three
and that the three committees went into
conference without success. He said the
4 Democrats were willing to allow them to
name five justices, but that the Republic
cans would not consent to their naming
even two.
