.HENR|CO COUNTY
IS UP in Ar MS
Says District Democratic Com
nittee Violated Agreement
and Acted Discourteously.

At a meeting of the Henrico Demo-
cratic committee, held at the County
Courthouse yesterday at IL o'clock,
emphatic protest was entered at the
action Of the Third District commits
tee In not allowing part OF Henrlco's
expenses In the recent primary. Mem
bers of the committee were most pos
tive in stating their view that the
district committee had violated the
primary plan and its expressed agree
ment, and further that 1t had been
extremely discourteous in-tts failure
to notify the Henrico committee when
Its meeting would be held, so that
the county might have had repre-
sentative present.
Attention was called to the fact that
the primary plan adopted by the dis
trict committee reads: Judges will re-
ceiye the sum of 81 each. and the chair
man OF each county committee Is In
structed to pay the messenger who
brings the returns according TO the
distance the messenger has to travel"
AS a result the Henrico county COM
mittee paid It's messengers mileage,
which the district committee later re /.
fused to allow. The district committee
also refused to allow a fee OF SIS to

| Tor services performed"
Put Protest on Record.
The Henrico county committee not
only entered emphatic protest at the
treatment 1t has received. but also put
on the records its view that the county
committee is the proper party to decide
what should be paid to the judges and
what should be the Legitimate expenses.
The committee took the view that the
district committee should have asked
| the county committee in advance what
the total of its primary expenses would
! be and lay its assessment accordingly.
Secretary Garland B. Taylor is positive
in stating that he had no notification
of the meeting OF the district commit
tee, In which Henrico was not repre-
scented.
