To Meet Tomorrow

Fairfax County Republicans will
hold a mass meeting at 8 pm. to-
morrow at Fairfax Courthouse to
reorganize the party, 1t was an
nounced last night.

officer, radio commentator and vet
Grams columnist, said 1t has reached
an agreement with the present Re
publican Committee which calls for
the liquidation of that committee so

to go ahead with the reorganization
of the party.
The meeting will consider for
nation of a countrywide education
program to acquaint voters with the
mechanics of becoming eligible to
vote in the 1948 elections.
In announcing the meeting, Mr..
Krum said the population of Fair
fax County during the last seven
years has increased from 10000 to
more than 10000. He added that
a sampling of political sentiment

dicated that a heavy majority of the
increased population are Republic
cans. all of whom have come into
Fairfax County to establish them
selves on permanent basis.
These Republican voters want q
vital and militant Republican or
ganization and are going to bring
a genuine 100 per cent two-party
system to Virginia, at least to Fair
fax County" he asserted.
