Inc special subcommittee OF the state
democratic executive committee having
in charge the arrangement of the forth
coming primaries had a perfectly har-
monious session here today.

tailed arrangement of the campaign and
possibly not within the history OF the
state committee has any subcommittee
of that body held a meeting with such
perfect harmony. In short the committee
decided that there should be two tickets
to be voted in the primaries on April ii.
The state ticket to be provided at the
expense of the state committee is to In
clude the names of the candidates for
justices of the supreme court, president
of the railroad commission, supernumer-
ary judge, chancellors, circuit Judges,
circuit solicitors and congressman
Several Forms of Tickets.
As matter of course- this will require
several forms of tickets for the state
primary. 1t is not intended that all the

pear upon all these tickets but that sep
arate sets of tickets shall be printed to
suit the conditions In each OF the counties
which may be embraced under these sew
eral heads
County tickets are to be provided en-
tirely separate from the state tickets. The
county committee is to arrange for the
payment of the costs bf the county
