SOME COUNTIES NOT
 TO CONDUCT PRIMARY
Opinion Is Held by Ferguson anl Others That Counties Not Bound
 to Select Delegates by Vote.

Little Rock, March 15,-The action of the Democratic state central com mittee in calling primary for April 14 for the selection of candidates for the constitutional convention at the election to be held June 26 is being cor>>rued by some as optional and not mandatory. It is probable that there will be no primary in some cf the counties.
 J. G. Ferguson, deputy superin- terdent of public instruction, is a candidate for delegate from Searcy county, and is also chairman of the county central committee. He says that it is not his intention to call a so far as he is concerned there will be no primary election in his county He does not consider the action of the state committee as binding. Another question raised is the fil- ing of pledges under the corrupt practice act, which each candidate for any office is required to do 30 days before an election. There is not sufficient time between this and the primary for candidates to comply I with the law.
 Another question is the application of the law passed in the closing days of the legislature, and signed yes terday, of which MT. Waggoner of Lonoke is the author, requiring the publication of affidavits of corporate connections by candidates. The law says nothing about a primary, and II
 is held that the act cannot be made to apply to candidates running in the l primary
