 OFFICERS SELECTED
COMMITTEE HARMONIOUS
DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEEMEN ARRANGE DETAILS OF PRI-
 MARY ELECTION.

Adopting resolutions ssrongly insist l ing upon fair election, choosing Tues day, January G, as the date for the , county primary election and appoint ing judges and clerks for same, the Faulkner County Democratic Central Committee held busy but harmon ious session at the courthouse here this afternoon.
 After arranging details of the pri- mary, the committee unanimously adopted strong resolution endorsing the candidacy of former Prosecuting Attorney George w. Clark of this county for circuit judge.
 On account Of delay occasioned by the committeeman of Cadron township 'caucusing to select the judges and clerks for that township, it was an hour after the time set before the committee was called to order by Chairman A. L.. Nichols of Union township. The court room was filled when the chairman rapped for order. Two of the Cadron committeeman, George Shaw and Frank Farris, were represented by Proxies J. B. Higgins and Gus Bush, respectively.
 Chairman Nichols appointed J. E. Higgins to serve as secretary pro tenn, in the absence of Secretary Shaw, who is in Little Rock.
 The roll call showed practically all of the committee present in person, only six proxies being recorded.
 Chairman Nichols announced the next order of business was the fixing the date of the county primary.
 Committeeman Raney introduced a resolution fixing Wednesday, January :, as the date for the primary, pro- viding that the committeeman of each township should serve as one of the judges and should name the other two judges and the two clerks, and also providing the rules and regulations under which the primary should be held.
 At this juncture w. N. Jones pre- sented the proxy of J. o. Naylor, con- mitteeman of Danley township. As J. J. Nixon had already presented a proNy from the same committeeman. Chairman Nichols placed the question before the house as to which proxy should serve. Both explained the cir cumstances under which their proxies were secured Frank Raney moved that neither proxy be recognized. P. V. Hamilton offered substitute that each be allowed half vote, but Mir. Nixon withdrew his proxy and MT. Jones was seated.
 Secretary Higgins offered a substi- tute set of resolutions for holding the primary, fixing the date as Janu- ary 6. Judge P. H. Prince made few re- marks about the method of selection of judges and clerks, recommending that they be selected by the whole committee, instead of by the indi- vidual committeeman.
 J.R. Donnell spoke in behalf of the original resolution. On rising vote the Raney resolution was adopted by IS to 10. On motion of w. R.
