'there were nine nominees, including Maj lhuytun, for the four places as delegates. The delegates chosen were: John (i. Caper?, E. H Deas, \j. W. C. Hlaloclc an.' Dr. VV. D. Crum. The four defeated delegates receiving the highest vote were named us alternates, Maj. Bravton being left out. \ Kaosevolt platform was adopted and the delegates instructed to vote for Roosevelt's nomination. A remarkable feature of the proceedings is to he found in the narrow escape I)r. Crnm had. He had received only 43 votes on (he first ballot, 2'^ short of a majority and Capers, Blalock and Peas had-gone in before the Richland delegation was reached in the voting. At this point there wo? an upn . in the convention but after much yelling i. d crowding about the chairman's tublo order was restored after all 10 other candidates had withdrawn their names, and Dr. Crnm was nanrd as the fourth man by acclamation. The best orators in the convention were employed to nominate Pl'lim mill uonnll/l lllJ n/itlllnnll^n unci his election was eloquently uracil on the ground th;it to leave him off would bo a slap in the face of Roosevelt, who had opened the door of hope to the uegroes and who had repeatedly appointed Crqm to his present position in the face of opposition which no other president hud ever been called upon to face. Another strong feature was that R. R Tolbert, who Capers had tried to get appointed in Crmn's stead, was put up to defeat Capers for national committeeman. To Ma rt was defeated a? a delegate tint was elected as an alternate. There were three other incident* not provided for in the programme One was u fist fight between two preachers, who were merely visitors in the convention; anothor was I he arr \st of a delegate for carrying concealed weapons and the third was the dropping of a revolver on the floor of the convention hall by a Charleston delegate About '20 per cent of the delegates were white nu n and a majority of the remainder wore mil lattoes One of th" be-t. orators was K. J. DieUcrson, a coal black negro. A delegate --. id that thero were more preacher delegates than had beon present on such an occasion in 30 years. Responsible for this, in his opinion, was the fact tho preachers were hotter able to meet the ox ; >? nso of coming to the convention. At tho evening sos-ion the proachers who hud tho fi ?ht in the morning explained their trouble"', apologized, said they wore not delegates and bogged forgiveness. They were exonerated by a formal vote. Initial Trip Proved Fatal. Young Woman Killed and Young Man Badly Injured by a Trcl- ! ley Car. Special to The State. Union, Feb.
