Especial to The Times Dispatchl 3
IIarrisonburg. Va. June 2o.-The po-
litical pot is boiling again to-day. The
Democratic County Committee OF
Rockingham issues reply to the
charges made by Thomas l. William
son. who recently came out as an In
dependent candidate for County Treas
urer. on the grounds. he alleged, that
the County Committee had refused to
allow the Observation-Disclosures contest
to be settled in the September prl-
mary election.
The committee says that there is
no demand for a change in the
methods of nominating Democratic
candidates except the demand recently
sprung by Williamson and his friends.
1t says that Williamson was apparent
~ satisfied for years with the estab-
lished usage In the county, and salts
fed when he first made his announce
ment IN the spring. The committee
insinuates that MIR. Williamsons ac-
tions are strange and inconsistent
The committee resents the insinua-
ton that 1t Is dominated BY Senator
keezell. or that 1t would be controlled
by any one man.
From q reading of the committees
statement it appears as If william
son and the committee are at odds as
to what sort of a primary was de-
sired by Williamson. and what sort
was offered by tie committee. II ap-
pears that Williamson wanted to leave
the contest to majority vote of all the
Democrats at general popular or
direct primary similar to that held
he Int cd
the committee offered a voting pri-
m-ry, or precinct meeting, as pre-
ltminary method OF selecting dele
gates to a convention. Williamson
commended that the method suggest
ed by the committee would be as
easily dominated and controlled by the
keezell machine.
Again, Williamson and the commit
tee are at odds as to what State
Chairman Ellyson said IN regard to a
primary. Williamson says that ELY
son urged" a primary: the committee
denies this. saying that Ellyson merely
left the matter with II.

week announced his intention of re-

given as his reason that Boston is too far
from his private interests in Kansas City.

that King refused to play any longer,
attributed Kings action to a long
cherished determination to play only with
the Chicago club.
Killing on Saturday appeared satisfied
