ATHENS, Ala, January 4.—Con- curring with action recently taken by the State Democratic executive commit- tee, the Limestone County Democratic committee has adopted a resolution to bar as candidates for office, in the primary next August, all who bolted the party in the 1928 presidential election. No attempt was made to dipcipline voters being invited to cast their ballots in the primary. Accompanying the resolution was an expression from the committee that the action would “make Alabama safe for democracy and serve to maintain the integrity of the party.” ‘The Limestone committee also adopt- ed a resolution, censuring action of Ben F. Ray, Birmingham attorney, and member of the State Democratic execu- tive committee, in serving as chairman of a meeting held at Birmingham, Fri- day night, to sponsor the candidacy of United States Senator J. Thomas Heflin, and that of Hugh A. Locke, seeking the || Democratic nomination for governor. Action of the State committee barred | both from participating in the primary as candidates, on account of their sup- port of Herbert Hoover in the 1928 election.
