MORE OF IT
New IienriCo Committee VIII
Meet on Saturday.
INTEREST'G POSSIBILITIES
Something May Turn Up In Connection
With Question Of Planning for the
Campaign-Two Candidates
for Chairman.

Considerable interest Is manifested In
the meeting Of the new Henrlco Demo-
cratic Committee which, in pursuance
of n cali issued yesterday, will meet Sat.
urday next at noon ut the courthouse.
In view Of the present disturbed state
Of the county politics and moro particu.
larry In view of the question of jursdic-
ton raised In connection with the old
committee that adjourned last Saturday
after an eventful session, the first gath
ering OF the new committeeman elected
in the late primary, is of very special
interest. There may be some further dc.
Welopments Of Importance. though the
information of this point at the present
time Is by no means definite.
MAY BE DEVELOPMENTS.
1t will be recalled that In making his
recent fight for recognition as tho party
nominee Mr.. Brauer, through his nttor-
neys. questioned t1le authority OF the old
committee, holding that they were out
of office. and that the new committee
just chosen was the proper and lawful
one. The old committee, however, did
not think 80, and proceeded with the
work before It. 1t adjourned sine do
last Saturday, and thus practically put
an end to its existence after 1t had turned
Brauer down, and Issued the certificate
to Todd. Chairman Ruffln now calls for
tho new committee to meet next Satur-
day and organize The affairs of tho pri-
mary have been settled and this he holds
to be the proper time for the new COM
mittee to go into office.
With the meeting of tho new com0ttee.
however, there is a possibility of tho re-
vival Of the old questions. Chairman Ruff
fin thinks there will be nothing OF this
sort, but admits that he can only express
his personal views on the subject There
are a number Of new men on the COM
mittee and when the question OF ar
ranging for the general election cam
paign comes up there may be an explosion
of some sort According to the old COM
mittee, Todd Is the party nominee, and
SO far as county politics is concerned 1t Is
up to the committee to try to elect him.
But to do this 1t will have to fight
Brauer whom the State Committee has
recognized, and some OF the new COM
mitteemen may baik at this. One or two
of the old Brauer men are still on 1t, and
are almost certain to object. Here will be
another nice question, and before It is set
tied there Is likely to be some pretty live
ly discussion.
There will be two candidates for tho.
county craftsmanship Mr.. Ruffln will
stand for recollection and Mr.. Edward l..
Ryan, a young lawyer. who is just be-
ginning to figure In county politics. VIII
also be candidate. committeeman
