the national body urtV1, was voted
down.
Colonel Ball moved that each dis
trict be represented by two dele
gates and two alternates or four
delegates as the district might
choose. A storm Of disapproval
from the floor led him TO Withdraw
the motion.
Myron Blalock then moved nat
the district representation be two
delegates and two a~lternates. Tom
Love of Dallas asked that his dis
trict be allowed four delegates wien
one-half vote each. He said that the
district had already selected four
delegates. Shouts from the floor
drowned most of his speech. John
Boyle Of San Antonio seconded 2la-
locks motion.
r. A. Johnson Of Burnett county
declared yesterday We shook OF
some Of the shackles welded upon Us
BY Tom Love. This Is just another
move on his part to gain control #
the democracy Of Texas"
Cat calls from the crowd drowned
the remainder OF his speech and
broke out again as often as order
was restored and Johnson resrned
his seat,
j. n. Sharp of Childress charged
that proponents sf the Blalock mo-
ton 70 limit districts 10 two dele
gates and two s~lternates we're afraid
that too many women would be
elected.
Blalock denied this and moved TO
table the Love amendment. The
vote on tabling was so close that
the chairman could not rule on the
question. The chairman charged
that many people not delegates, in
the galleries. had voted. and threat
ened 10 clear the galleries.
Shouts OF "roll call" and "risiny
vote" came from the convention aad
an attempt was made to have a ris-
ing vote. Some one else charged
that many delegations had more dell
egates than they had votes on tie
floor so aS.oll call was finally start
ed to settle the question OF tabling
the Love amendment.
After much argument and confd-
sion the motion to table prevailed,
al to 3l2 and the original Blalock
motion was adopted by reclamation.
On motion Of Blalock, Judge r. 4.
Brooks Of Houston; W. A. Tarver Of
Corsicana, Milton West of Browns
