 RICE TURNED DOWN
 Mr. Rice stated last night that he had been informed that he had five days in which to file his declaration with the probate judge. Chairman Bethea and the memb of the committee, however, held to contrary opinion and so ruled.
 General Clark also tried to qualify with the county committee before registering with the probate judge. He later regis tered with the probate judge but did not again appear before the county commit tee. The situation regarding his candi- dacy Is the same as that of MT. Rice.

 WILLIAMS UNDER BAN
 Dave Williams, who announced as a candidate for delegate to the national convention from the Ninth district, was not allowed to qualify by the committee last night because he had not filed his declaration of candidacy with the probate judge. MT. Williams was of the opinion that he had several days yet in which to make this declaration, but the mem bers of the committee stated that they were positive their decision was in accord with the election law.
 q refused to qualify MT. Rice for Con- gress and General Clark for board of education because neither had complied with the law by filing their declarations with the probate judge,' said Secretary Hambaugh at midnight last night Chairman Bethea held that I was cor rect in this matter, and he cited certain sections of the law to uphold the posi- ton I had taken. We have no interest in the matter except to comply with the law, but we could not take the oath from either of these men until they had reg istered with the probate judge. I did not give to either MT. Rice or General Clark a certificate of qualification. After going to the probate judge, they telephoned me that they had registered but did not come to take the oath or file their cer- tificates after that tim.. The county committee cannot put their names on the ticket.''
