DEMOCRATIC STATE CENTRAL
COMMITTEE TO MEET JAN. "a

LITTLE ROCK, Jan, 1.-THE Demo
cratic State Central Committee has
been called to meet Jan, "a, Saturday,
for the purpose of taking action with
reference to advancing the date of the
Democratic primaries. The call for
the meeting has been issued by JOS
W. House, Jr., the chairman and G
c. Calvert, the secretary.
Gov. Brough has made the state
ment that he will abide by the de.
cision of the Central Committee. AS
the proposed law is general in its
nature, thirty days notice is not re-
quired but the call may be issued
at any time during the session.
There is a growing sentiment in
favor of changing the primaries and
an opposition toward calling spe-
cial election for the selection of dele
gates only.

Democrats had apparently been count

huential had been engaged in boost (
Hoover under the impression , At n
was a Democrat. I.
Hoover is considering issuing
statement. The attitude Of tn
Democrats seemed to be summed |
in the remark Of Champ Clark, wh,
said sarcastically that the gentleman
