Whole Number 1472 COMMITTEE DECIDES fill A PMIW BALLOT AFTER HEATED DEBATE VOTE STANDS TEN TO BIDE Lon Foost Leads Fight for Abroga tion But States After He Loses That Result is Satisfatory The committee met at 1:25 o'clock with every member represented either in person or by proxy. Following a short session in the assembly room of the Maxwell house, and then an exe cutive session in democratic headquar ters, adjournment was taken to 3:!S0 o'clock. The discussion on the part of the committee was the occasion for a (rood deal of noise and chiering by the spectators present. The crowd was de cidedly for the primary, and when any member opposed it in a speech he was vreeted with hoots and hisses. On the other hand, when a member spoke for the primary, as did Mr. Puryear and others, he was greeted wilh," loud cheers. Mayor liowse was present during the effortfi of some members of the committee to have the body go into executive session. Although holding no proxy, he asked to be heard. Chair man Morton stated that he would be heard without objection. Committee man Koust objected. The mayor spoke anyway. He slated that the people wanted a primary and that the com mittee should not cull it oil; that the committee had no right to call it of!'. At this juncture Mr. Koust objected moit strenout-ly. Chairman Morion was rapping for order and the crowds were cheering the mayor, who contin ued to speak. Unable to transact any of its business amid such confusion, the committee voted to go into execu tive session, yeas, 12; noes, f). When the committee retired to dem ocratic headquarters into executive session the members of the prejsonly were allowed to be present. Mr. Fonst moved, in the form of a resolution, to rescind the call for a primary, giving as his reasons that such was to the best interests 61 the democratic party. Mr. Pierce, who had previously vcted with the friends of the opposition to the primary, voted to table the Eoust resolution. He pleaded that it was to the best interests of the party to do so. He said that the recent primary held was for the nomination of a candidate for governor, in which more than 100, 000 democrats participated, was a grand success, and that the committee could not afford to discredit that pri mary in any sense by calling this one oft". "Are we going to do that?" he con tinued. "If we were united on Aug 1 and Aug. 15, why cun't we be united .now? The question is, have we the right to undo the work of the conven tion? Stop and think a moment. If we undo the work of that convention we have set a precedent which wilt plague the democratic party. It is a grave question. I am not speaking for the campaign committee, of which am a member I am speaking as a member of the state executive corn- Mr. Pierce whs followed by several speakers, both for and against. Chairman Morton then Spoke against abrogating the primary. A was then taken with the result, as stated above. The committee next went into the election of a successor to Mr. William son. Mr. Stanton pluced Judge Harry Kelley, of Memphis, in nomination. Mr. McGrew nominated Joe Creath. The nomination was seconded by,Mr. Purvear. who stated that personally Ire liked Mr. Kelly, who wns a good derz'crat. A vote was taken and death's elec tion resulted by the same" vote that prevailed in standing by the primary. The line-up was the same. The com mittee then adjourned. Among the members of the commit tee the best of feeling prevailed. At no time was there any bitterness express ed; The only feeling came from the crowd that gathered in the assembly hall to hear the deliberations of the committee. This crowd was over whelmingly for a primary. It repre sented democrats from all over the state. When the committee Bdjourned J. L. Foust, who championed the op position to the primary said: "Well, it's over now, and I'm for the pri mary." He left intnebestot spirits as did all the other members of the committee. ried to the water by members of the church. The chair was let down to the bottom of the stream, when the water came up to the aged penitent's breast. Then Rev. John C. Swindal baptized the old man by tilting the chair backward till he was immersed. William Kelly is doubtless the old est man in Dickenson county, but his exact age is not known. He is gener rlly thought, however, to be nearing his hundrelh year. The oldest inhab itants of the neighborhood say that he was called "old man Kelly" at their earliest recolections. He served in the Union army through the civil war. His wife has been dead for many years, and he has been living with his son Harvey, who is past 70 and who was also a Union soldeir.
