.VOTES OP TIIK STATE CONVEX-TIO.V.
The Morehead headquarters in the
Hotel Guilford were constantly
thronged by members of the several
delegations, it being apparent even
to a mere onlooker that the great
majority of the delegates were de
cidedly in favor of the present Con
gressman from the Fifth.
The applause greeting the newly-
V.'hen Mr. Morehead aDoeared h S elected State Chairman as he appear-
as erected with a storm of applause I e1 on the Platform to make his ad
a. was also the case at various points jdress of 'acceptance was enthusiastic,
f.f his address of acceptance, an ad-1 spontaneous, long-continued and

was announced, that the main op
position to his candidacy had seemed
to come from certain sections of the
i
Committees and Platform.
At the conclusion of the address of
acceptance, the ohalr, on motion, ap
pointed a committee on suggestions
regarding matters affecting the plan
of organization, this body consisting
of A. A. Whitener, of Catawba; C. A.
Reynolds, of Winston-Salem; T. T.
Rowland, of Buncombe; Harry Skin
ner, of Pitt, and O. F. Pool.
Following further proceedings of
no especial interest, a recess was tak
en until 8.30 o'clock in the evening in
order to allow time for the prepara
tion of the platform by the commit
tee appointed for that purpose.
On re-assembling in the evening at
9 o'clock, the first proceeding in or
der was the appointment by the chair
of a State Executive Committee, this
resulting in the selection of I. M.
Meekins, of Elizabeth City; D. W.

Democratic press and that fact had
aided materially In his choice for
the leadership.
When a convention hall becomes
too small to hold the delegates In
attendance, and it becomes neces
sary to move into larger quarters, as
was done at Greensboro, it is made
evident at once that the party is
growing and is even obtaining re
cruits from the ranks of the oppo
sition. The large number of new faces on
the floor, and especially of those
who are taking their first active in
terest in Republican politics, is a
fact strongly indicative of the stead
ily increasing consideration and re
gard for Republican principles.

Verdict of the Democratic IVwi
on tlm llrpubUam SUXe CY-ot ra
tion. A staff correspondent of the
Charlotte Observer, la his report of
the Republican Slate Coaveatioa at
Greensboro, in the isiae of that pa
per of August 11th, says:
In numbers as well as in person
nel of delegates, the State Republi
can convention of 1910 will go down
in history as the premier one of the
decade. So numerous were the vis
itors that the Guilford court house
could not contain them when Chair
man Adams rapped for order at
noon.
There were several hundred
crowded out for want of room and
so clamorous did they become as the
session progressed that it was de
cided after deliberation to adjourn
to the great auditorium, sometimes
designated Greensboro's White Ele
phant. And adjourn they did, the
afternoon session being called for
2.30 o'clock. And such aa outpour
ing! When the delegates commenced
to disperse it was after the fashion
of bees from a hive. The crowd was
variously estimated from 2,000 toj
3,000 people, with perhaps a thou-!
sand Greensboro sympathizers. There
were some even who dared to assert
that the throng equalled that of the
great Democratic gathering in Char
lotte in 1908. However that may be
therels no denying that the Greens
boro convention of 1910 was one of
mammoth proportions.
The personnel of the various dele
gations too was noteworthy. A finer
body of men could hardly have been
assembled in the State. Clear-eyed,
ruddy-faced, stalwart men from the
mountains, such as Frank LInney of
Boone mingled shoulder to shoulder
with those from the east, while oth
ers, cultured, refined and courageous
from the piedmont section moved
here and there working out the prac
tical details of the problems of the
hour. And there were others such
as Timberlake, Seawell, Skinner, Set
tle, Adams, Lusk, Alexander, Price,
Duncan and a score of others to be
seen on all sides. It was a subject
of comment that the complexion of
the convention was very fine.
In fact one spectator remarked
that it could not have been better
had it been a Democratic convention.

its report, this being presented by C.
A. Reynolds, of Forsyth, and consist
ing mainly of a recommendation re
garding minority rights at party
meetings, these to be restricted after
the first vote on any given question,
and for the appointment of addition

Committee.
Next in order came the nomina
tion of candidates for the several
State offices, these being for a Chief
Justice and two Associate Justices
of the Supreme Court, and two Cor
poration Commissioners. Speeches in
nomination were limited to two min
utes each, the first being made by J.
J. Parker, of Monroe, who placed the
name of T. T. Hicks, of Vance, before
the convention for the Chief Justice
ship. This nomination was seconded
by w. P. Ragan, of Guilford, and by
Z. V.Walser, of Davidson, while a del
egate from Alamance presented the
name of ex-Judge R. M. Douglas, of
Guilford, seconded by Edgecombe and
Scotland delegates. Former Judge
W. P. Bynum, of Guilford, was also
placed in nomination and the ballot
was then taken, resulting in this vote
as announced by the Secretary:
Douglas, 4S1; Hicks, 337, and By
num, 248. Announcement was here
made to the effect that Judge Bynum
was not a candidate for the nomina
tion and then followed the taking of
a second ballot, the first ballot not
giving a majority. On this ballot T.
T. Hicks received 671 votes against
470 for Douglas, and was declared
elected. Then came the nominatioa
for Associate Justices, these resulting
in the selection of E. W. Timberlake.
