 As published in yesterdays Age-Herald. . this call was issued for the purpose ol reconsiderng the plan adopted by that committee for nominating the judge Of the Tenth judicial circuit.
 There has been great deal of discussion of this plan. The executive committee of Jefferson county at its last meeting
 passed a resolution that the plan was
 faulty and was impracticable of execution. Three of the candidates for this Judgeshlp say that it is practicable of execution anu coincides exactly with the plan adopted Ill this county.
 The following are extracts from the plan over which the dispute arises Resolved, 2d That 1t shall be the duty of the chairman of each democratic execu- l tive committee to appoint beat committee

 mitteemen reside in said beats, and m cases where no beat committeeman re- side in a beat, to appoint some other sulta- be and competent democrat to hold sald primary; and in case Suchl appolntee should fail to act for any cause, any com | potent democrat may hold the primary; and in all cases it shall be the duty or | each beat committeeman or other demo- crat presiding and holding said pri- mary to appoint such clerk and inspectors | as may be necessary to keep a record of the | proceedings, a tally sheet Of the votes | east and for whom cast, and to make out | the returns, showing the number of votes | each candidate receives ana the ueleSateS | elected to the county convntion, all Of which shall be certified to the county con- vention by the presiding officer and deliv- cred by him for transmission to the coun- ty convention to the delegates thereof Resolved, third, That each voter, or elec- tor, shall prepare, or have prepared for him, ballot upon which shall be written or printed the name of the candidate of his choice for judge of the Tenth judicial cir cult, and also the names of as many dele- gates to said county convention as his beat is entitled to, and shall cast said ballot as directed by the presiding beat com7lit- teeman, who will see to it that each bal lot is fairly counted and reported, and that
 said election is fairly conducted and properly reported. being governed in all things as nearly as may be according to | the regulations prescribed by law for hold | ing elections in Alabama"
