VOTE PLAN
FOR SEVENTH DISTRICT
Executive Committee De.
cided on Above Plan
Last Friday.

At the meeting of the Seventh Dis
trict Executive Committee held in
Rome last Friday, it was decided that
the candidate for Congress receiving
the largest opular vote in the district,
regardless of county limitations, should
be the nominee of the party.
There had been considerable specu-
lation previous to the meeting, as to
what plan would be adopted By some
1t was thought that the supporters of
Congressman Lee, who are in MAORI
ty on the committe, would hold out for
the county unit plan, in accordance
with the state committees action
But when Capt. Felix Corrupt FREUD
of Mr.. Wright, moved that the nomina-
tiou be by popular vote. the motion
was seconded by Z. B Russell, of c.
dartown, a strong supporter of Mr..
Lee, and the motion was carried unani-
mously.
A set of resolutions we're introduced
by Mr.. Russell, which had been pre-
viously prepared, prescribing the details
OF the primary in accordance with the
popular vote plan. The resolutions
were almost identical with those that
prevailed at the primary two years ago.
