 DECLARED BY COMMITTEE

 Totais .. ..............:......s .s1o5. .00 s1o5 .oo "As there is every prospect that an- other primary will shortly be held for State officers who failed to get a ma jor- ity on Monday it will be seen that the Committee cannot pay the clerks and managers for their services any longer. In my opinion the practice of paying clerks and managers should be discon- tinued hereafter as to assess candidates for enough to do so will force us to as- sess candidates amounts that will be burdensome and there is no more reason for their receiving pay than Executive Committeeman and others. In fact there are plenty of patriotic citizens who will ingly serve without pay.
 Respectfully
 Ray Rushton, Chairman"
 The report of the Chairman was re- ferred to the Finance Committee without action.
 General Sanford Speaks.
 General John w. A. Sanford, defeated candidate for State Senator, then ad- dressed the Committee briefly. He ac- cepted his defeat gracefully and said 1t was due to influences that could not be controlled. He spoke of his past service for the Democracy of the State and County and said he appreciated the kind ness of his friends. Those who were not his friends he said he forgave for they knew not what they did"
