having any Jurisdiction over the other in the democratic primary so far as nominations for these offices are concerned.
 This resolution was cause of considerable discussion and debate but was adopted unanimously. A somewhat similar situation was re- ported to exist in Sumter county and by unanimous consent the ruling of Chairman Webb was expressly ap- piled there.

 Concurrent Term
 Resolutions were also introduced and passed providing that the term of office of the executive commit teemen shall henceforth run concur rent with that of the governor of the state, thus prescribing a four-year tenure, elected att the general state election, and another providing that no county executive committee is authorized to assess or collect fees from state candidates and such funds if collected shall be returned by that committee.
 Most significant of all the resolu- tions adopted, however, in that 1t will in all probability bring several ad- ditional candidates for state office into the ring, reads as follows:
