But this list must be amended
where it conflicts with the chairmen
of precinct executive committees who
were elected in June under the plan
of Democratic organization.
Through some misunderstanding
these precinct chairmen who are ex-
officio. members of the County Execu-
tive Committee. were elected at only
some of the precinct primaries; and il
will be remembered that when the
matter came up at the last county
convention, it was held by the con-
vention that the chairman who were
SO elected should hold as members
of the executive committee, they hav-
ing been regularly named under the
plan of organization.
While some of the chairmen so
elected at the precinct meetings were
mmbers of the executive
committee. others were not and n
such cases. those who were elected In
June will supplant those members. in
Guided in the chairman's call. who

were: Raleigh, Second ward. First di
