vantage OF the action of the Sixth district
congressional committee at its meeting
before the campaign opened, in which it
adopted a rule that the congressional
committee should declare the nomination
on the consolidated primary vote of the
district. This action was taken nm the
request of Congressman Burke in letters
TO individual members of the COMMITTEES,
in which he asked that the nomination be
given to the man having the largest vote
in the district. These letters Congress-
man Burke has not recanted; neither has
the congressional committee rescinded Its
action. 1t places Congressman Burke in
an awkward position. There are seven
counties in the district All but two
Dallas, the home of Congressman Burke,

him as result of the primary elections
to be held in Dallas and Kaufman coun-
ties. Congressman Burke renewed his
campaign tonight by addressing an audi
