SCHEDULE Sunday, May 15 Madison Nine vs. Cedar Cliff Erwin High School Protests Will Be Heard In County Convention Here Saturday Night Needles to say, eight precinct meetings were held in this, coun ty Saturday morning at the fol lowing schools: Marshall, Laurel, Mars Hill, Beech Glen, Walnut, Hot Springs, Ebbs Chapel and Spring Creek. Both, the Regular Democrats and the Democrats for Democra cy, competing factions for the con trol of the Democratic Party, claim victories at Saturday's meetings. Leaders of the Democrats for Democracy contend that, in their opinion, at least four of the eight precinct chairmen and vice-chairmen elected are identified with their faction. "If this assump tion is corrtct, the Democrats for Democracy and the Regular Dem ocrats are tied, four precincte to four," they stated. On the other hand, Zeno H. Ponder, secretary of the Madieon County Democratic Executive Committee, claims that the Reg ular Democrats showed over whelming victories with his count revealing 1,262 votes to 458 votes for the opposing faction. He as- Hazelserts that he feels certain the Regular Democrats will control the convention which will be held at the courthouse here Saturday night at 8:00 o'clock. The Democrats for Democracy, however, contend that regardless of Ponder's claim, each precinct will have two votes at the con vention (the chairman and vice chairman) and that should the two officials from, each precinct vote aa expected, it would be eight to eight. "This being true, at present it is impossible to determine which of the two factions will be in con trol," they said. Protests are expected in at least three of the precincts Laurel (No. 2 TS), Mars Hill (No. 3 TS) and Beech Glen (No. 4 TS) to be heard at the coun ty Democratic convention. According to observers the most controversial point in the various precinct meetings was the method of voting whether by standing vote or by secret ballot. liy and large, the Regular Dem ocrats insisted on a standing vote while the Democrats for De mocracy insisted on the secret liallot method. at I This question, along with other protests, are expected to be Soil Stewardship Week To Be Sponsored Here Hay 15-22 1 tXTSATAGAKCS Ieople Who safes the freedom train are, thcee who Kve far. be yond their station in Lie. t The Madison Soil and Water Conservation District will spon sor Soil Stewardship Week this next week, May 15-22.
