DEMOCRATIC Parry
DEF|ED BY NOMINEE
OF THE REPUBLICANS
Latady Writes Bethea He
Intends to Vote in Demo-
cratic Primaries Until
New Rules Are Made

Francis B. Latady. republican nom
inee for Congress from the Ninth dis
trict, defies the democratic party and
its rules laid down governing partici-
patton in democratic primaries
Mr.. Latady in letter to John B.
Bethea, chairman of the county demo-
cratic executive committee, states that
he intends to vote in democratic pri-
maries Until he is stopped from doing
so by rules which he claims do not now
exist.
Mr.. Latady in his letter, which was
in reply to one sent him several days
ago by Chairman Bethea, in which the
latter cited the, republican nominee to
the rules of the state democratic ex-
scutive committee, also adopted by the
county organization, admits his par
ticipation in the recent democratic pri-
mary as we'll as the fact that he served
as manager.
The reply of the republican congress
sional nominee raises a distinct point
at issue between Chairman Bethea
and himself In his letter to Mr.. La
tady several days ago Chairman Be-
thea enclosed a copy of the rules OF
the state democratic executive COM
mittee which provided as a condition
precedent to participation in the pri-
maries of the party that the voter
must believe in the principles of the
democratic party and such participant
is obligated to support the nominees
of the party. However, Mr.. Latady con-
tends that despite this provision he
has the right and expects to continue
to participate in democratic primaries
until some new rules are adopted
which, in his opinion, will prevent his
participa tion
