Climax ing the most hectic Democratic coun ty convention ever held in Ruther ford county that body Saturday af ternoon sent its delegates, thirty-five in number, to the State convention, instructed to vote for Hull. Three veteran politicians of the county, Messrs. O. C. Erwin, C. E. 4 Tanner and M. L. Justice led the Smith forces. ■Revs. W. A. Ayers, M. F. Moores, *T. C. Jordan, Messrs. Chas. Z. Flack, Dr. Amos Duncan and Mrs. Harris and others led the anti-Smith forces. To Support Hull The resolution instructing the del egates to the State convention to support Hull was the concluding item of business of the convention, and the resolution passed almost unani mously. The convention met in the court house Saturday morning at 11 o'clock. Sixty-eight delegates, repre senting every precinct in the coun ty were present. At the organization meeting C. O. Ridings was elected chairman and J. R. Chambers secretary. Mr. H. L. Carpenter immediately introduced a resolution commending the'services of Senator Simmons and Overman and upholding the eighteenth amendment by instruct i An g the delegates to the state con vention to vote for a dry man. Mr. O. C. Erwin arose to a point of order and requested that the resolution be tabled. A lively debate ensued between Dr. W. A. Ayers and Mr. Erwin, after which Chairman Ridings ruled against adopting the resolution at that time, stating that they should be tabled until after the election of the delegates. Dr. Ayers requested permission to carry his fight to the I i|oor, and by a vote of 45 to 16 the resolution was adopted. Resolution Killed • Mr. 0. C. Erwin next introduced, by request, a resolution to apportion itbe delegates by precincts, allowing oach precinct at least one delegate, while the larger precincts would be allowed their full representation, giv ing the county approximately 56 delegates, instead of thirty-five. The same resolution provided that no alternates be selected. Mr. A Charles Z. Flack commented on the resolutions and after a brief attack they were tabled by a vote of 3 ■to l. Mr. Flack then brought forward an amended resolution providing for the 4 selection of the thirty-five del > egates and an equal number of al ternates, with at least one represen tative drawn from each precinct. This was carried by a good majority. Mode of Selecting - r Considerable discussion resulted as to the mode of selecting the dele gates. Chairman Ridings read the laws in reference to the convention , and interpreted them to mean that precinct should elect its dele gates to the state convention. This view was held by many of the Smith sympathizers. Heated discussion fol lowed on this point. A number of the other delegates held to the point that the convention as a whole should vote on the state convention dele gates, and not merely the precinct representatives. Friction developed between the two opposing forces. The round of debating was finally brok en when Dr. Amos Duncan made a motion that the convention as a whole should elect the delegates. The mo tion received a hearty response when put to a vote, and nominations were called for. Some of the Smith dele gates, sensing defeat withdrew their names as delegates.

HOOVER LIKELY TO GET NOMINATION The Republican National Convention got under way in Kansas City, Mo., Tuesday. The first day was taken up largely with formality of organization. The latest report is that Herbert Hoover is assured of approximately seven hundred votes on the first ballot. In this case only one ballot will be necessary, as that number will nominate. Little enthusiasm is being shown at the convention. The small minority of delegates op posing Hoover are defiant, and the farm representation threat ens a bolt, but apparently little attention is being given to this.
