The DeKalb county committee met at Decatur and after a session which is said to hate been breezy the chairman announced bat the committee had decided to call' a mass meeting for the first Tues day in June.

But another mass meeting will be held and it also is tho result of the commit- tee action. This meeting which Is fixed for April ISth will be in the nature of a protest against some of the acts of the committee And Judging by the stories told by some democrats' who were present. this action was peculiar to say the least of it Mien the committee was called to order by Dr. Goss the chairman it was found that there was present In person and by proxy a good majority of the committee Several of these proxies were admitted but the chairman drew the line at others. It In this discrimination which has caused the criticisms of the chairman and those Of the committee who Indorsrd his ruling The men who htld proxies and were ad- milled voted on the same side' ns the chairman those who were ruled out would have toted against him The reason git en by Chairman Goss was that It had been the committee position in the past that a proxy must be held a person residing in the militia district of tre member who gave the proxy.

Hany of DeKalbs strong democrats take exception to this ruling They declare that it has no precedent hi DeKalb nor in the state. They cite the frequent Instances where members of the state executive committee have given their proxies to gentle men residing in other congressional districts ana that these proxies have always been recognized The sentiment of the majority of the committee was to follow the Instructions of the state committee as to a primary on June 6th and also to indorse the sug- gelion that the people express at the primary their choice for United States senator. But after eliminating these proxies which had been placed under ban there were' nine members present and flte of these voted for a mass meeting to be held the flr Tuesday in June. which is June 2nd That Is but tour days before the date set the state committee for the primaries. The action of the citizens who protested against the committee a decision is told in the following peclal from Deca.

There was much dissatisfaction express ed by those present at the action of the committee.

In fact the only ones who seemed satisfied were those who are the A peculiar feature of the committees aq- Uons was their refusal to recognize cer. tain proxies claiming that it was an unbroken precedent in DeKalb county for proxies not to be recognized unless held by persons living in the same militia dis trlct as the member who gives the proxy. There are those however wo differ with them. There were nine members preseat out of sixteen and only a of that num ber Influenced the committees action. Immediately after Dr.
