TO Be CANDIDATE
TAKES MUCH MONEY
Expense of Primary to Party is
About $4,000
OFFICE SEEKERS PAY IT
Committee Will Probably Assess Can
ddates on Basis of Per Cent of
the Estimated Annual Profit
of the Office Sought.
OFFICE SEEKERS PAY II

A candidate in Jefferson county must
have money In the language of the turf
he must be able to put up before he leaves
the post To run primary election in
Jefferson county means an actual expense
of from $500 to $500 to the party. This
money has to be paid by the candidates.
and it can readily be seen that the en-
trance fees are necessarily severe in many
cases.
The subcommittee of the Jefferson
county democratic executive committee
has in charge the arrangements of the
primary and upon them devolves the duty
Of fixing the amounts to be paid by each
candidate. This committee has to raise
the funds for conducting the election as
well as having charge of the disburse-
ments.
Experience Teaches.
Campaign experience has taught men,
bers of committees that it is always bet
ter to have more money on hand than is
necessary to hold an election rather than
too little, and depend on the defeated or
successful candidates to make good the
difference. In other words, 1t Is safer to
be able to refund than to call on the can
didates for more margins.
Under these circumstances the commit
tee is compelled to figure very closely on
the probable expense and then arrange
the assessments. 1t is estimated that L
per cent of the annual profits of the re-
spective offices is sufficient to defray
the expenses of an election provided there
are enough candidates. In the present
case this provision is unnecessary. AS an
instance, under this plan, man who was
seeking an office that paid $500 annually
would be assessed $35 by the committee
before his name could be placed on the
ticket.
One Per Cent Basis.
While the committee has not announced
the assessments it is understood that it
will work on the per cent basis On this
plan, which will in all probability be
adopted the following table will be inter-
esting:

as closing the school. There have been five
pupils Ill of diphtheria, and several other
children attending the school have been ex-
eluded from attendance owing to the fact
that they were found to be Infected with
diphtheria bacilli. although they were not
Ill at the time.
The health authorities had disinfected
several of the rooms previously, but Sat-
urday evening the whole building was dis
infected The health officials believe that
the slight outbreak of diphtheria at the
Brookland school can be handled with bet
ter results If the school Is permitted to re-
main in session under the careful super
vision of the medical inspectors. The au-
thoritics are investigating the conditions at
the school. and besides the medical In
spectors are devoting considerable time to
the pupils.~and Ii Is not believed by the
authorities that any serious outbreak will
result or that the disease Will spread to any
great extent among the pupils The condi-
lions at present do not justify a compliance
with the request of the citizens associa-
ton according to Dr. Woodward.

in many sections. Maybe that's
how we got what we got so
