Perhaps the most interesting develop
ment in the political field yesterday was the
appointment of a subcommittee by the
Johnston campaign committee to watch the
movements of the county executive commit
tee at the meeting next Wednesday and to
forestall any action by it that might be con-
sidered inimieal ito the interests of the gov
ernor. Chairman Roden announced the
committee yesterday morning as follows:
Peyton G. Bowman, Charles B. Powell,
Felix NJ Blackburn, V. Lee Cowart and w.
X. Terry.
Governor Johnston. so it is stated, does
not want any change made in the method of
nominating candidates for state senator
and representa- and will use his in
fluence against any effort to procure di-
rect vote for said candidates. The commit
tee is appointed for the purpose of pre-
venting the adoption of any resolution, or
motion looking to that end.
Governor Johnston came up from Mont
Eomery yesterday and held a concurrence
with Chairman Roden and other members
of the committee and a number of his coun-
ty friends.
