A HENRICO PRIMARY.
There Is said TO be every prospect Of
primary being ordered for the purpose OF
giving the Democrats of Henrico oppor-
tunity of expressing a preference for the
senatorship. 1t is said that decided ma
tority Of the committee favors having the
names of the senatorial candidates placed
on the ballots.
There Is said to be a probability OF the
City Democratic Committee at It's next
meeting fixing a date for the primary
for the selection of candidates Tor nuni-
cipal Offices. 1t is the wish OF those VINO
favor the committees taking this action
not TO have the primary before APRIL
possibly, but TO let all candidates know
the date as soon as possible.
Furthermore, when the contest over the
question OF an early or late primary Tor

date that 10 show that there was no par

time the date for the primary for the Sc

vocates of an early primary Will either
vote against fixing the date for the spring
primary so far in advance. OF will not vote
at all,
