George M. Muse, chairman 61 the Sixth
District Democratic Committee.
Strange as it may seem that a point
should be raised as to whether or not
Republican:! should be p< r nutted to
vote In a Democratic election, it is none'

One of the candidates for Congress, It I
has been stated tu Koduokc, has invlt-1
ed Republicans to vote for him. or bus
staled that he would receive support
irom that source. Thereupon a letter
was addressed to Chairman Muse by
Judge Robert C. Jacks president ??!
the Carter Uluss Democratic Club of
Rodnoke, asking if Republicans would:
be allowed tu vot.?! protesting
against then admission to the primary.
l-'or Democrats Only.
in reply, Chairman Mas. said thntj
the party plan und tue- primary law do i
hoi contemplate participation by th>
Voters of one putty In the primaries bfj
another. The party plan ?peoiiles tiiat;
primaries are for "white Democrats!"
? while the primary law requires
that the voter shall have cast his bail-I

This enables her to export $110,000,000
_worth of meal, poultry and dairy pro

of haphazard farming methods complain of the high
tost of living. The difference lies solely in the fact of
proper training. Scientific preparation for working out
