 Their Applications
SEPARATE BALLOTS FOR
 TIE COUNTY OFFICIALS
Candidates for oovernor Have Been Assessed Sfo0 Each, and candi- dates for Other State
 Offices $75 Each.

There are but two days more left in which candidates for state officers may file applications with the chairman of the state committee to have their names. placed upon the official ballot. Nearly all of the known candidates have com piled with the requirments.
 In preparing a plan for the primary to be held on August 25. the state commit tee instructed Chairman Lowe to pre- pare the ballots to be used, and fixed August as the time limit for candidates to file their applications with the chair man. Chairman Lowe stated yesterday that nearly all of the candidates had duly filed their applications and he ans ticipated that all of them would be 1T. within the required time.
 Mir. Lowe yesterday sent out letter to each of the known candidates ask next Friday. August 1, for a conference relative to the final arrangements for the primary. In case any candidate is prevented from coming to this confer ence the request is made that a substi- tute be sent. MT. Lowe is anxious that perfect fairness be meted out to each candidate. and 1t is to obtain this end that the conference has been called.
 OFFICIAL BALLOT SMALL.
 The official ballot to be voted in the primary will not be a very large one. It will contain merely the names of the candidates for state offices and members of the state executive committee. The latter are to be elected, four from each congressional district. and it will there fore be necessary to print nine forms of tickets. It was found impracticable to sional candidates upon. the state ticket. Chairman Lowe said that much time would be required for the thorough dis tribution of the tickets. and he there fore could not wait for county candi- dates to be certified to him. Those counties which have fixed the same date for the election of county nominees with that fixed for the naming of state nomi- nees will have to prepare separate tickets The expense to the candidates for the primary will not be so great as was at first anticipated. Chairman Lowe has as- sessed candidates for governor $100 each. and candidates for other state officers $75 each. Candidates for members of the democratic state executive committee have been assessed s5 each. It Is thought that this amount will be ample to cover all expenses. If there should be surplus it will be refunded to the candidates.
