VIM. A. RUSSELL, Editor
THE STATE PRIMARY,

The press of the state is just now
agitating the question of fixing u
date for the state primary. A few of
the papers, in certain sections, want
it called early-in April or May.
Others are sticklers for some day in
July or August.
To appear fair to those distin-
guished candidates who are serving
the people at Washington the News
inclines to favor July primary
This would give these Washington
statesmen chance to be heard with
least neglect of their present duties
However, it is not believed their in,
terests would suffer much were the
primary held earlier. 1t is apparent
that in so far as Mr.. Davis is con.
cerned, the democratic people have
already selected him as their stand
ard bearer for the Office of governor
and whether the primary is helC
early or late, will not change the re-
suit. 1t would afford some satisfac-
tion to his friends, however, were the
date put off till July, thus affording
the people a chance to hear this peer
less campaigner give a sort of 80 cent
appearance to the holier-than-thou
pretensions of some of his opponents
Then there is the farmer. He has
some interests in the date. April
and May is the busiest time with the
farmers and truckers of Putnam
county. They are easier in July
It's sort of between seasons time
and hundreds would turn out to vote
then who could not spare a day in
the earlier months.
Make it July.
