RICHMOND, Va, April 2s.-The plan
Of some Democratic leaders to draft"
former Gov. Harry F. Byrd of Win
chester as a candidate for Congress
has been abandoned as a result of the
action of the seventh district Demo-
cratic congressional committee Satur-
day in calling for primary to nomi-
nate the opponent Of Representative j.
A. CARRIER, Republican, in the congress
sional election next Fall.
Optional Under Law.
Under the Virginia primary law, it is
optional with party committees to make
nominations by primaries or by con-
ventionS. The seventh district Demo-
Gratis have used primaries when there
were contests for the nomination, and
in serving notice for primary this year
they have followed their usual custom.
The Republicans, exercising this OPP
tional right, disregard primaries and
nominate by conventions. There has
been a good deal of conjecture and
some sentiment in favor Of the Demo-
Gratis using the convention plan this
Summer in the seventh district, but the
congressional committee felt it unwise
to depart from the old custom. Under
the primary law, a candidate must file
notice of intention to run so days be-
fore the primary.
In view of Byrd's decision not to
seek the nomination, It is not believed
that there will be any candidate from
the Valley section of the district. In
this event, former Judge John w. Fish
burne of Albemarle County will be de-
clared the nominee without the formal
ity of going through the primary. Un-
der the law, If no other notice of candi-
dacy is filed before June 5 except that
Of Mr.. Fishburne he can be declared
the nominee.
