his first season in the majors as

PARTY MEETING
IN ROW OVER
CHAIRMAN
Two Lyon Park Delegations
Practically Disrupt Vote;
SpauIding Choice Is Fought

The Republican Convention, Of
Arlington county in stormy ses-
sion last night, nominated B. M.
Hedrick for office of trial justice.
He was opposed by M. G. Ely.
Division over the contest for
county judge, at several stages
in the convention threatened to
disrupt the entire party, and led
to the selection Of two groups Of
delegates from the Lyon Park
precinct. Finally each delegate
was given half a vote.
Another storm broke when j.
e. Spaulding, county chairman,
appointed L. C. McNemar tenn
porary chairman. A number Of
delegates seemed to think this
was not within the chairman's
power, charging Spaulding with
using steam-roller methods and
expressing opinion that a tenn
porary chairman should be
elected. Spaulding prevailed and
McNemar took the chair.
Spaulding Seat Protested
The third fight broke out in
the meeting of the committee on
credentials. An argument over
the right of Spaulding to be a
delegate to the convention held
up the report Of the committee
for more than an hour and half
while testimony was taken.
Spaulding, who resides in Del Ray,
. q part Of Alexandria, was a men,
ber of the Clarendon delegation.
He was finally seated.
A platform was adopted calling
for installation of an adequate,
countrywide sewage system; ex-
tension Of the water system to
all parts of the county and re-
organization of the administra-
tiOn of that department; improved
conditions at the county Jail; i'm
