w. T. McMath, candidate for or
binary in the March 49, primary TO-
day takes issue with w. w. Dykes,
county attorney, concerning the lar-
ter's opinion upon the status of wo-
men desiring to vote who have not
paid POLL taxes, and asserts that the
question Of voters qualifications is
altogether one to be fixed by the
County Democratic Executive COM
mittee. James A. Davenport is
chairman Of this committee, and as
yet Mr.. Davenport has made no pub
lie expression of his views upon The
issue. a primary election, in the
opinion of Mr.. McMath, is not an.
election, but rather an expression Of
the party's choice, and the qualifica-
tions of the voters therein, there
fore, are not fixed by existing laws
but by rules adopted from time to
time by the party authority, in this
instance the Democratic County
Executive committee.
Mr.. McMath's prepared statement
handed the Times Recorder this
morning, in which he sets forth his
views, opposing the decision Of
County Attorney Dykes. is as fol-
