stone. Va:
Ny Dear Sir.--I beg to acknowledge
your letter of yesterday l regret that
the County Committee OF Nottoway
should have decided to permit Repub-
licans to vote in the primary on Sep
TENDER T. This is in violation of the
, party primary plan. adopted by the
state convention. which provides that
only white Democrats who are or
VIII be, legal voters at the election at
which the General Assembly Is to be
chosen. which is to elect 4 United
States Senator shall be entitled to
vote at any primary election held TO
nominate party senatorial candi-
date"
The State Central Committee. which
met in this city May 3 to make prep
arations for the nomination of United
States Senator adopted the following
resolution. copy OF which 1 sent on
May to evey county and city chair
man In the State. The resolution
reads:
Resolved. That the attention of the
Judges OF election is especially called
TO that provision OF the plan for the
primary election which declares that
only white Democrats are entitled to
vote In the primary election. and this
committee calls upon said judges OF
the election to riEidly enforce this
provision OF the primary election"
Would lie Initiated
In view OF the action OF the State
convention and the action OF the State
Central Committee. 1 do not hesitate
TO say that Notwithstanding the &C
ton OF your committee in agreeing TO
allow Republicans to vote. that you
should not permit them to do So for
any election where Republicans are
permitted 10 take part in the nomi-
nation OF United States Senators or
OF county officers or the selection of
county committeeman will be vitiated
by the participation OF the Republi-
cans in said election. and II the mat
ter is brought TO the attention of the
state Committee. said election will be
declared null and void 10 any and
all precincts where Republicans are
allowed to vote.
The party primary plan plainly pro
v!des that only white Democrts may
participate in our primary. and other
voters should. therefore. be denied the
right to do SO. II you. as chairman.
Will do this. the State Committee will
unquestionaby sustain you. This opin-
ION applies not only to those who vote
for United States Senators. but TO
those who participate in the selection
Of county officers as well. The pri-

Whole-Milk Flavor

Milk dishes made with Van Camps Milk arc
exceedingly rich and savory. Dishes made Of
milkuens milk cannot compare with them.
Some women think that this flavor is due to
something artificial, but it isns It is simply tho
flavor of whole, rich milk.
Milkmens milk separates. The butter fat rises
and the solids fall. When that milk gets to the
cooking it is rarely more than a haf-mk.
Van Camps cannot separate. 1t contains too
little water. So it brings to your milk dishes the
whole milk flavor. When you learn what that
means you will never cook without it.
