Resolved 1st, That we, the represent
atives of the democratic party of the
Ninth Congressional district of Georgia,
in convention assembled for the pur
pose of nominating a candidate of our
party in the approaching election for
Representative in the 56th Congress of
the I nited States, do reaffirm our alle
giance of the principles of the demo
cratic party as set out in the democratic
platform, adopted at Chicago in 1896.
We believe that the public welfare de
mands that these principles be applied
to the conduct of the Federal govern
ment, and we pledge opr efforts and
declare our faith in the triumph of the
same, which will bring good govern
ment, maintain justice, restore pros-
perity, preserve popular liberty and
promote the general welfare of all the
People.
Resolved 2nd, That recognizing the
distinguished services, and untiring
efforts of our Representative in the
present Congress of the United States
m behalf of the people of the Ninth
Congressional district. And also the
Patriotic, wise and conservative course
Pursued by him in the council of the
Nation upon all great national issues—
"ith an eye- single to the best interest
°- all our people—being at all times
champion and defender of the
ri gt ts and interest ot the common peo
ple
against the unjust aggression of
modem institutions whole sole aim and
purpose seems to be # not only to subvert
and distort the great principles upon
which this government was founded,
but also to destroy the same by the
LdOSt tyranicul and unjust legislation.
This convention does, therefore, heart
ily endorse the record of the Hon F.
C. Tate made in the Congress of the
United States and point with pride to
his acts as a true representative of the
people.
We hereby endorse the action of the
executive committee in ordering pri
mary elections to be held in the sev
eral counties of the niutli congressional
district on the same day for the elec
tion of delegates to thd convention,
and so far as the same may be prac
tical, we recommend that the same
course be pursued in the selection of
all delegates to all future conventions.
Mr. J. T. Baxter of Gwinnett, intro
duced a resolution which was referred,
to the proper committee, providing for
a different representation in the con
vention from the counties of the dis
trict now in vogue. He wanted each
county in the district to have two del
egates in the convention, and in addi
tion a delegate for each 500 democratic
votes polled in national elections in
the respective counties of the district
two years previous to the convention.
Mr. Baxter worked hard for the pass
age of his resolution but the committee
reported adversely on it. He tfee® took
the floor of the convention and made
a lively speech m its defense and con
cluded by saying it would again be
presented to the convention two years
hence and predicted its adoption.
Nominations being in order Hon.
Charles L. Bass of Habersham, arose
and in an*eloquent speech put in nomi
nation for Representative in the Fifty
Sixth Congress of the United States
from the Ninth Congressional district
of Georgia the Hon. F. C. Tate. He
spoke of his ability, wisdom and con
servatism and commended Col. Tate’s
course in Congress in the highest terms.
Col. H. H. Dean of Hall, seconded the
nomination and, as the representative
of Hon. Howard Thompson who was
defeated by Col. Tate and at liis re
quest tendered his services to the nom
inee and party, moved to make the nom
ination unanimous by acclamation.
This was done amid the greatest enthu
siasm.
A motion was passed making the ex
ecutive committee a campaign commit
tee for the coming campaign and mak
ing the chairman of the executive com
mittee ex-offico chairman of this com
mittee. Upon motion the chairman
was authorized to appoint a committee
to notify Col. Tate of his nomination,
and the following were appointed. Mr.
M. L. Ledforn of Union being made
chairman of the committee: Chas. L.
Bass of Labersham, A. J. Julian of
Forsyth, and IT, II. Dean of Hall. This
completing the « ork the convention
