nittee, several years ago, 1t was agreed to
hold state primaries In August (every-
thing being enuaD, that rule was not SO
firmly established, 1t is pointed out, that
its revocation would incite to rebellion.

voted against the amendment desire ar

While the committee. 1t is believed, cast
a majority vote In favor of the amend
