Factions In Conference
Representatives of both factions OF
the Democratic party were in consul
tation yesterday with a view of get
ting together on the list of six names.
which would exactly fill the list of
vacancies for delegates to the State
Convention. 1t was proposed that the
Progressives name three of the six
delegates and the Organization the
other three, and If no more names
were filed there would be no contest
for delegates and their names would
not have to go on the ballot. This
would leave the issue clear-cut and
distinct as between Bruce, Lewis and
Norris for the senatorial nomination.
without making it necessary for tho
voters to cast ballots for the individ-
uai delegates. In other words, the
choice OF the county would be made
up simply by counting the number OF
cross-marks opposite the names of
the respective candidates All six OF
the delegates would then be required
TO vote in the convention for that CAM
didate receiving the majority of the
votes of the electorate.
Progress Made, But Too Late
Considerable progress was made in
these negotiations. but not in time,
however, to avoid the filing Of a num-
ber OF delegates from each faction.
Those filing on behalf of the Or
ganization were:
Mrs. Gage, Senator Brady, Messrs.
Worthington, Johnson, Rodgers, MUIR
ray and Cromwell.
Those on behalf OF the Progressives
were:
Mrs. White. Messrs. Holiday, Douw
and Smith.
1t is understood to have been ten
tatively agreed, however, between the
two factions to leave only three from
each faction on the permanent list OF
delegates, and have the others with
draw. In this way no names would
go on the ballots at all, as there
would be no contest for delegates. !,
How Lineup Appears ~
AS previously indicated in these
columns, the Organization forces OF
the county are supporting William
Cabell Bruce for the senatorial nomi-
nation. while the Progressives are for
David j. Lewis. William /. Norris
seems to be without any organized
support In the county.
AS to- the candidates for Congress.
the drift seems Enthusiastically towards
Clarence M. Roberts as the choice OF
the Organization and Dorsey ]. Dun.
