morning at 10 O'Clock.
The meeting was called to order
by Judge Robert Powell, Chairman,
with a full membership present in
person or by proxy. Hon. o. F.
Lawrence, the efficient secretary, was
at the desk.
Those who expected little politi-
cal turmoil or an outbreak of faction
al feelings were disappointed as the
meeting was as quiet and peaceful
as a May morning, and as unanimous
as the sentiment against Sunday base
ball in Jackson.
Upon motion a committee Of FIVE
was appointed to frame resolutions
and make recommendation as to how
and when the primaries would be
held. The Chain appointed o. F.
Lawrence, Sydney McLaurin, W. X.
Herrin, Fred Sullens, and W. D.
MOunger as a committee. This COM
mittee retired to prepare resolutions
and recommendations.
The chairman read section of the
code in regard to meetings OF the
Executive Committee following pri-
maries, it being fixed lone week
after the primaries. The chairman
called upon the body to decide wheth-
er t6is meant Monday folll ring
TUESDAY Arcust IS. IT the tuesday
following .esday, August 10th, the
later date being voted as the proper
one, so the State Executive Commit
tee will meet in the Senate Chamber
on Tuesday, August 22n1 to canvass
the returns of the primary leld on
August 18th.
A letter was read from Judge Long
commenting on report IN an out Of
the state paper to the effect that the
election for Supreme Court Judges,
could not be held on the same date as |
the election for United States Sen
ator and Congressmen. It seems that !
Judge Long was misinformed be-
cause of the fact that he did not |
read the Mississippi papers as prac-
ticaiIy every paper IN TINS state set
forth the facts in regard to this
several weeks ago. By referring to
the law it was found that rs had been
reported by the daily papers of this
state, all Of these primaries may
be held on Tuesday, August
/ 5th, and a motion to this effect was
made and passed by the State Exc
cutive Committee.
The chairman was instructed to
prepare form of ballot and suggest
the manner of fixing the names of
the candidates for different offices on
the ticket, and mail these to the
County Executive COMMITTEES with IN
,tructions to follow as closely as is
practicable. There was a good deal s
Of discussion as to this matter, the {
candidates had already sent their {
names to the County Executive Com {
nittee, and the manner of the ap- /
oearance OF these names on the TICK &
# decided upon further statement {
vas made, however, that where {
counties had not acted it may be that !
hey are waiting for this oIhclal ACT
m the part of the State Executive
Committee and for this reason, the I
hartman was requested to send out t
his information with an explanation
hat it is not the purpose to change t
he action of any County Executive tt
Committee. {
There was also q difference of a
pinion as to whether candidates e.
ould qualify within fifteen days OF e.
primary or if it was necessary to
lie their names sixty days IN ad- w
ance. The fifteen day period was e
ccepted Sas law, and so passed by ii
he State Executive Committee. L
Rowe Hayes Of the Ind Dlstrlct tt
allied attention to the fact that the lie
romen of the state were complaining ii
nat thew had no representation on S
ne committee. He stated that he
ad no motion to make in regard to L.
MS matter, but simply desired to T
resent the complaint to the COM q
ittee. d
T. T. O'Bryant, of Batesville, stated liz
lat it was probable that he would de
axe the race for Railroad Com vi
issioner, and if so, he would resign, til
ms making it possible for woman de-
take his place if it was so desired. al
