VOTES or COUNTIES
IN MAY CONVENTION


Der Of votes to which each county
win be entitled in the Democratic
State convention TO be held on May
% ~ presented below. The compila-
tion has been made in response TO
inquiries from number OF citizens
as to the convention vote OF certain
counties. No more than tentative in
formation can be given at this time,
for the reason that the State Exec
utive Committee has not yet fixed
the basis Of representation. -Four
years ago then committee used
the basis of representation set forth
in the primary election law (Article
31i2), provided as to the State con-
vention which has to do with the nom
inntion of candidates for State Of
fees
The present committee may do the
same, or Il may provide a different
basis Assuming, however. that it
shall use the same basis. which is one
vote in the State convention for each
500 votes cast in the county for the
candidates for Governor in the last
preceding primary election, and one
vote for a major fraction Of 500, no
county TO have less than one vote
il this basis shall be used the conven-
tion votes will be as is shown in the
last column of the subjoined table.
The total number OF votes in the
convention will be .409. as compar-
ed with 1886 votes in 1916, the in
crease being due to the large number
of votes cast in the primary election
Of 1918. The convention votes of
certain Of the larger counties have
increased very materially Dallas rises
from 33 to So; Tarrant from ~ to
40, and Harris from 20 to as. The
gain in Bexar county is smaller
from "a TO. 81.
In presenting this table. which
shows, as basis for the convention
vote, the votes cast for the candidates
for Governor in the primary election
|of 1918, attention is called to the
fact that the returns from Crockett,
Delta, Duval, Glasscock Moore and
Reeves counties are as unofiicially re-
ported to The News. None of these
counties, save Duval reported official
ly, and the returns from Duval. al
though officially reported. were
thrown out by the convention.
