The following preamble and
resolution, introduced by J, L.
Bell, was unanimously passed by
the convention:
Whereas, it is n'portod throu'^h
tlio invss of this district that cer
tain countii's have ])assed resolu
tions that “after the first ballot th(‘
delegate‘s to tli(‘ Judicial and (’on-
gressional conventions shall vote
as a unit when the luajority directs
it.” And, whereas, such action is
contrary to the democratic ]>lan of
organization ado])tod ])y the entire
state. Tli('refore ho it
Resolved, by the democratic ])ar-
ty of Transylvania county, in con
vention ass(‘mbled, that wc believe
such action is in jilain disregard of
party laAv ; subversive of the will of
the ])eople as expressed in the pri
maries ; unfair and unjust to the
smaller counties; destructivo to
party harmony ; conducive to ])arty
strife, dissension and division. And
we believe such action should bo
deprecated an<l oi)pos('d by all dem
ocrats individually and when in
convention assembled.
The following resolution was
adopted without a dissenting
vote;
Resolved, that we, the democrats
of Transylvania county, in our
county convention assembled, do
most heartily approve of and en
dorse the able stand taken by our
United States Senator, Hon. F, M.
Simmons, on all the great ques
tions that have been before the
Senate of thf’; United States, believ
ing that his course has Ix^en for
the promation of the best interests
of our state and for our nation also,
and respectfully ask our State Sen
ator and our Representative in the
next General Assembly of North
Carolina to aid in re-electini^ him
I to the lionoral)le position for an-
i other six years.
j The following were selected as
j County Executive Committee for
I the ensuing two years:
T. W. Whitmii-e, chairman. Brevard.
I Boyd—T. R. Duncan.
I Ih'cvard—W. W. Zachary.
I Catheys Creek—.1. M. Zachary.
Cedar Mountain—,T. ('. Ray.
Dunns Rock—Wm, Maxwell.
East Fork—G. W. Hayes.
Eastatoe- W. E. Galloway.
Hoijback—.1, A. Mc(iuire.
Gloucester—J. H. Plouse.
Little River—W. S. Ashworth.
After the business of the con
vention was finished several
rousing speeches were made.
That of W. E. Breese for senate:
T. H. Galloway, candidate for
Representative; Guy V. Roberts
and J. Frazier Glenn, candidates
for Solicitor, were inspiring and
should have been heard by every
democrat iii the county.
The meeting was harmonious
and enthusiastic, and the outlook
for democratic success in this
county by increased majorities is
brighter than ever.
