brought before the county committee at
its meeting held last Saturday week
ago. The motion was made by Commit

the subcommittee on arrangements to
investigate and see if this could be done
in conformity with the state primary
election laws.
Such 1t was found could not be done,

day afternoon Committeeman Scott made
a few remarks, saying that after looking
further in the matter he found that it
would be Illegal and asked that the idea
be abandoned which was unanimously
agreed to.
