with the Rev. Mr.. Jackson taking
the regional vice presidency, which
the elevation Of the Rev. Mr.. Perry
left vacant.

his % years Of service TO the

DR.. d. V. Jemison of Selma, Ala,
president Of the convention, ap-
parently shared this view as he
offered the suggestion when the

Thursdays balloting be accepted.
Count of this vote on which
tellers failed to agree was never
made public, but it was indicated
by DR.. tensions remarks that
the Rev. Mr.. Perry had made the
best showing, even in spite Of the
discrepancies Of the teller's figures.
DIR. JemisOn went into the con-
ference with the two candidates
and the tellers, following which
the compromise was announced.
The convention then cheered the
Rev. Mr.. Jackson for his sacri-
fee.
All other officers were re-
elected, with the Rev. U. J. Robin
son Of Mobile, Ala, who was
chosen by the board to succeed the
late Rev. J. NJ. Nabrit as secretary,

confusion.
The 5000 delegates in attend
