COUNTIES NOT HOLDING
 PRIMARIES DISFRANCHISEi


 Little Rock, Ark.-Allen Gates o1 Fayetteville, who was candidate for the democratic nomination for dele gate to the constitutional convention from the Third congressional district, in a letter to members Of the state board of election commissioners has questioned the authority of democratic congressional central committees to canvass the votes and declare nomi- nees in the recent democratic primar- ies
 In the third district primaries were held in five counties, but in the other five counties in the district the in structions ofethe democratic state cen- tral committee to hold democartic pri- maries April II were ignored. Local politicians and members of the state board of election commissioners said the matter was not within the purview of the state board, but was a party matter to be handled by the party or ganization.
 Joe W. House, Jr., chairman of the democratic state central committee, said it was the duty of the district committees to call district conven- tions, canvass the votes and declare the two candidates in each district re- ceiving the highest vote the party nominees Mr House said that the convention should be held immediately and the names of the nominees should be certified to the secretary of state.
 Mr. Gates, when the primary was held found himself in predicament similar to that of other democratic aspirants for seats in the convention No primary was held in his county or in four adjacent counties. The wes- tern end of the district took no part in the primary.
 Mr Gates was defeated by the votes in the other five counties. Washing ton and Benton counties, which are the two largest counties in the dis triet did not participate.
 Officers of the democratic state cen tral committee said that MT. Gates and other candidates who were de feated could not become candidates in the general election in June 26, with out violating their pledge to abide by resluts of the democratic primary, in spite of the mitigating circumstances.
