NOMINATING CONVENTION PROVIDED FOR BY THE DEM¬ OCRATIC EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. April 20th Named a-; Date For Primary and April 29th Date For Convention. Delegates (iuests of Judge Griggs at Dinner. An enthusisstic and harmoni¬ ous meeting of the Democratic Executive Committee was held in the justice court room of Alba¬ ny’s handsome new court house on Thursday of last week. The meeting was an important one for, in addition to naming a date for a primary for the nomination of a congressman for the 59th congress, the committee passed a resolution providing for a nom¬ inating convention to be held in the city of Albany shortly after the primary. The counties represented at the meeting were: Baker, by J^ohn O. Perry; Calhoun, C. J. Davis; Colquitt, C. Jh Allen; ty, R. Hobbs; Miller, J. B. Pal mer proxy: Quitman, II. M. Me Intosh, proxy; Ran iolph, by W. H. Kiddoo; Terrell, by C. B. Yeo man, proxy; Thomas, by Triplett; Worth, by W. A. Allen; Berrien, Clay, Decatur and Ear¬ ly were not represented at the meeting. The meeting was called to or¬ der shortly after noon by Capt. R. Hobbs chairman of the com¬ mittee. Mr. H. M. McIntosh was named secretary of the meeting by the chair, and it was then ready for the business that was to come up. Judge W. H. Kid¬ doo, of Randolph, introduced the following resolutions, which were re;d by the secretary: Resolved 1st, That a conven¬ tion of the Democratic party of the Second Congressional District be held at Albany, Georgia, at twelve o’clock m. on Friday the 29th day of April, 1904, to nomi¬ nate a candidate of the party for the Fifty-ninth Congress; elect a new executive committee, and to do such other acts for the good of the party as the convention may deem proper, in which con¬ vention each county shall be en¬ titled to twice the number of votes as it has members in the legislature. Resolved 2nd, Thataprimary election be held in the several counties of the Second Congress¬ ional District on the'YOth day of April, 1904, by the same mana¬ gers and under the same rules and regulations as has been pro¬ vided for by the state executive committee fer the state primary election; at which primary the voters qualified under said rules and regulations shall vote, on the same ballot to be used in the state J primary candidate election, for direct and foj the a Congress; ’ several county executive com¬ mittees of said district shall ascertain and declare the result, and shall, from the active sup¬ porters of the person who shall receive the highest number of votes, appoint delegates to the congressional convention provid¬ ed for in the first resolution. Judge K'ddoo’s motion to adopt j this resolution was seconded and Mr. McIntosh addressed the meeting, stating that the resolu¬ tion provided for a return to the old system of district conventions but did not impair the primary system in force for the past sev j eral years. Under the present system, when no nominating conventions have been held, the 'party organization in the district had suffered, he said. The con j vention was provided more on j account of its effect on the party organization than on the pri jmary. When the taken vote they on the resolutions was were unanimously adopted. On motion the newspapers throughout the district were re¬ quested to publish the resolution as adopted by the committee. No further business the mem¬ bers of the committee accepted an invitation “to dine with Judge J. M. Griggs, by proxy” Messrs. H. M. McIntosh and Col. W. E. Wooten, representing Judge Griggs, who was detained in Washington on account of sick¬ ness of his mother. Mr. McIntosh explained that Judge Griggs had wanted to en¬ tertain his friends and come in close personal touch with dis¬ tinguished members of his dis¬ trict and that ho thought, hav¬ ing no opposition this year, he could, with propriety, entertain them at djpner. Judge Griggs had wired that he was keenly disappointed at not being able to be present and at being forced to surrender to others the pleasure of entertaining the members of the committee.
