Not SntiShcd with Decision of County
Executive Committee


Norfolk, Va, August 30.-Straight-
out Democrats of Norfolk County at n
meeting yesterday decided to appeal to
the State committee from the decision
of the county executive committee,
controlled by fusion influence, basing
representation on the committee in
the forthcoming primary on the vote
cast in the gubernatorial election in
1909, instead of the vote cast in tho
presidential election last year.
In the 1909 election the county went
Republican, and if the representation
on the committee was based on the
vote cast in this election. it would
put the straightouts out of the run
ming. so far as getting a fair repre-
scntation on the county committee is
concerned.
Acting State Chairman .Echols will
