FAIRFAX, Va., April 26.—The Fair- fax County Democratic committee, meeting yesterday morning ‘- in the County Courthouse on call of Judge | J. M. Love. decided to hcid out the olive branch of peace to those mem- bers of the party who last November refused - to support the Democratic presidential nominee. The ruling of State Attorney General John - R. Saunders was given as authority for this interpretation of the State law governing participation in primary elections. A . resolution was adopted which said in part: “Under the ruling of the attorney general, the fact that a Democrat voted -in the last November election for the Republican candidate does not bar him or her from participating in said ‘approaching Democratic ' primary. In accordance with this ruling of the attorney general, it is the opinion of this committee that in the interest of party harmony ¢he Democrats of Fair- fax County should now present a united front to the end that the ad- vancement and prosperity of the State and county under Democratic rule: may be_continued.” George E. Kidwell was elected com- mitteeman from ~Clifton precinct to Su the late Joshua Buckley. All Democrats were urged to pay their poll taxes before May 4 in order to gineers advised. As a result of this information the county leaders decided to take one road which they had expected to con- struct out of the $134,000 lateral road fund, entirely out that fund, and build it from the money furnished by the $550,000 bond issue. Concrete Roads Studied. The two groups also discussed which | roads would - be bullt of -concrete and | which of gravel, but no definite de-| cislons were reached. $t now appears the Landover-Up-! per Marlboro road will be built of con- crete as far as Largo this year, one of the commissioners said after the meet- ing, although there is still a possibility of having the entire road constructed of gravel, The' question- whether the road from Gordons Corner on the Leonardtown road to Huntts Corner, on the Living- ston road, should be constructed of gravel or concrete will be decided later.
