Bell 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.

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. W. VV. Zachary, Ch'n. J. L, TiELL.
