COUNTY CONVENTION
CONTROL IN DOUBT
Politicians Familiar with Ylows OF
Delegates Think that Administra
ton Fcrccs did not Biock to the
Meetings as Expected. County Con-
vcntion Monday.


The regular meetings OF the demo.
cratic clubs OF the county were held
at the different club hoaduuar;ors
Saturday afternoon. The meetings
were for the purpose OF organizing,
elccting delegates to tho county con-
Vention which is to DC hold next Mon
day, and for transactinY or any other
business The mectlngs were not
very largely attended and little fac
tional feeling developed At the
Mountvihe club, however, a rather
heated contest developed between the
administration forces and their op-
ponents over the control OF tho meet
ing. 1t was charged that the admins
tration forces AT that place import
ed" members OF Cross Hill and Hone
well clubs to command majority
The contest very nearly resulted in a
division of the club and the sending.
OF contcsting delegation to the coun..
ty convention
In Laurcns Club No q the follow.
ms iG''o'utloh5 itS 10 PRIMARY rGStrlc-
tions were introduced and passed:
BE 1t resolved that this Democratic
club he and that the same do hereby
go on record as unalterably opposed
to any restriction in tho Democratic
primary abridginR the right to vote
or making any changes other than
those now in force
Similar resolutions were introduced
at several other clubs, but so far
there has been no report OF any can
didate being endorsed. The complex"
ion of the county convention, which is
to meet Monday morning, is still in
doubt though the anti nti-administration
forces are claiming majority.
