Marshall High's amazing rec-

this year's team as one of the

DEMOCRATIC
ORGANIZATION
PLAN ARGUED
Laurel Precinct To Have
Second Election On
Saturday, June 4
DR. SAMS CHAIRMAN
By JOHN HAVLICEK
Citizen Staff Writer
Madison County Democrats
wrangled until 3 a. m. Sunday be
fore coming up with an execu
tive committee, a chairman, and
a partial solution to the bitterest
of several bitter precinct clashes.
They elected Dr. W. A. Sams,
considered a political moderate of
the regular Democrat organiza
tion, as chairman. The elderly
doctor a former state representa
tive, had long since left the meet
ing, after commenting tartly:
JilJWtfl( .e all this damn
fussing going on."
L The fussing he meant was the
long duel between temporary
chairman Zeno Ponder, leader of
the regular Dems and Mars Hill
attorney Joe Huff, spokesman for
Democrats identified as a reform
groom I started as soon as it
could, at the beginning, when Huff
challenged Pontfar's authority to
preside, and eontinusd nntu'
m., involving Jfomoers autoomy
to seat delegations, pass on the
validity of affidavits, and in gene
ral act as a one-man credentials
committee. Huff thought the exe
cutive committee ought to rule on
these things, but there was no exe
cutive committee until after the
precinct delegations held been
seated. This arrangement also
caught Huffs criticism.
The group led by Joe Huff,
Madison County Democrats forj
Democracy, plan to appeal the
action taken by the county con
vention and executive committee.
Huff said the group will appeal
to the Democratic State Conven
tion Thursday. "We were parti
cnlarly grieved by the way the
convention and the organization
of the executive committee was
conducted Saturday night," he
said. i''1
There also ensued atining de
bate over the true moaning of the
Democratic Plan of Organization
the proper application of Bioberfa-
Boles of Order, and the tekthrr
authority of State Democratie'
Chairman J. Mehrflle Breagbtois
and Attorney General T. Wade
Broton. As the evening develop '
ed, the Broughton-Brutoa dlvWod
grew more and more marked. '
Briefly, it centered on whether
old precinct officials retained any
stature when their precinct was
abolished, as happened In Madi
son after tits 1964 election,
Twenty-three preetatta were
shrunk to eight by a new Board,
of Ejection.
