Have State and Local Fights at One
Time.

Chairman r. w. Perkins. OF the city
Democratic committee. has issued a
cali for a meeting OF the committee

question of whether or not two prl-
marics shall be held in Newport

that only one primary will ne neces-
Sary, the committee will have moth
ing further to do for some time 10
come. but if majority OF the mem
bers should favor the twO-primary
idea, plans for the election in which
party candidates for local Offices are
to be chosen will have to be made at
once.
Several of the candidates for local
Offices are in favor of holding pri-
mary some time in June to dispose OF
their contests. and their campaigning
has created more or less sentiment
in support of their idea. Others de-
sire TO have the local candidates
chosen in the primary which will be
held. probably in August, to name the
nominees for governor and other
State officers.
The discussion of this matter has
been going on for some time and in
order to have the question settled
Chairman Perkins decided to call the
committee together.
