IMPORTATION ABOUT IT WHICH VOTERS SHOULD

BUT P0LL-T4x PAYERS TO VOTE.
The Conservative primary election takes

Gfegory-,wIl be voted for directly, rtOa
Uoce.
The number Of delegates each county and

fThn tipn. hooks helOn rinp 10 the
| City Committee have not been reCised for 4
good while. They are, therefore, not to be
absolutely relied upon; but the Judges and
clerks appointed know the people well. and
will carefully guard against any attempt at
wrongful voting.
For each voting precinct there arc to be
| three judges and one cleric. They will be
paid 81 each. Heretofore the judges have
served for nothing and been furnished with
meals and refreshments by the committee.
This has been adopted as cheaper plan.
The amount Of money realized from assess
ments on candidates will, with the most
rigid economy, barely be sufficient to de-
fray expenses OF the primary. 1t is true
that the City Committee has in its treasury
about 800, but all OF that will be required
to meer the demands OF the reaI election in
November. Hence necessity for unusua!
economy here.
The following shows where the voting
precincts are, and who will be IN charge OF
them.
