Committee met Monday shortly after
noon, but there not being quorum
of ten members present, Chairman J.
w .Dorton adjourned the meeting
until one o'clock.
Upon the roll being called by St.
rotary H. c. Hendey at one o'clock
it was found there was a quorum pres
ent and business was proceeded with.
Clerk Hendley rendered his re
nation as secretary on the grounds
of his being candidate and that he
felt it neither fair nor wise for him
to hold the office of Secretary while
he is candidate. His resignation
was accepted and Judge 5. N. Smith
put in nomination Mrs. Grace Reed
for the place. On behalf of Mrs.
Reed Mr. Hendiey stated that sn-
wished to be excused from accepting
the place for the reason that she
would very likely become candidate
herself Thereupon the name of S.
c. Bishop was put before the COM
nittee.. Mr.. Bishop informed the
committee that he had no desire for
the place but would willingly serve
the party, if they wished. but that he
would be just as we'll or better pleased
if some other person was chosen. No
other names being presented Mr..
Bishop was elected secretary and at
once entered upon the duties of the
office.
]. L. Anderson moved that the
primary election be held the second
Saturday in April and Judge S. N.
Smith proposed the third Saturday in
November. After some discussion the
vote was taken on the motion of Mr..
Anderson and it was lost by a vote
of ID to 4. The motion of Judge
Smith was then further discussed and
his motion was amended to read Sat-
urday. November 26, which is the last
Saturday in the month. Upon the
vote being taken there were no op-
aposition votes and Saturday, Novem-
Der 26 was designated as the date
for holding the primary. 1t was the
unanimously voted that a Republi-
can primary be held to select candi-
dates for the office of Trustee, Reg
lister, Sheriff, County Court Clerk and
Circuit Court Clerk.
, Every avowed candidate was pres
emf and was called upon to express his
or her preference as to the time of
holding the primary election. While
all expressed a Willingness to abide
by the decision of the majority, it was
clearly manifest that the fall primary
would suit better than the time des-
ignated the coming spring.
J. l.. Anderson then presented the
motion that should any candidate, at
ter his or her nomina ton, so conduct
himself or herself as to be guilty OF
gross misconduct the party and the
voters should feel themselves releas SEQ
from the obligation of supporting
or voting for them After some dis
cussion it was directed that the sense
of the motion be incorporated in the
Rules and Regulations chat should be
later drafted to govern the coming
primary election.
