Candidates for offices in the primary Of May IS appear to be tumbling over one another in these latter days to file statements of their eanvaesing ex- penses as no less than eight of them conformed to the law yesterday. But there are still others to make known their expenses and they. have only four more days to do so
 The account of John W. Tomlinson, one of the nominees for delegate from the State at large to the Denver con vention. looms up the heaviest of all candidates who have so far filed their statements. He spent a total of e2,i77 during his campaign. This Is itenized as follows: Assessment of state Exe- cutive Committee. s1oO; railroad fare, livery hire. and hotel bills, sl7O; sta tionery. printing and campaign lttera tures ss2s; clerk hire, typewrfting and telegrarns and slong-distance phone messages, SIS.
 Close behind Mir. Tomiinson in the amount of campaign expenditures Is Thos, J. Hall. of Montgomery. candidate for the nomination as Congressman from the Second District. His ag- gregate expense was 32.oee, His state- ment exhibits the following items: Assessment of state Executive Com mittee. si75: postage, 500: office help. $500; printing and stationery sl75; buying extra copies of papers. sloO; newspaper advertising. $500; railroad fare and travefing expenses. siss: pay ing men to stay at polls and assist in canvassing. s20o: fegistration lists. ss4 -

This makes twice that the Vernon crowd mas srung lem up and busted 'ern- Tne suiligent delegation. therefore. nas gone to come again. They say they are only halted In their business anu will get the court house yet.
 The delegations from the towns named, sulligent wanting the court house of Lamar County removed ana Vernon determined that 1t shall remain in their midst, left Montgomery yes terday. They both checked against each others lists, of petitioners until bedtime Friday night. The Governor tried to help them come to terms yes- terday afternoon until supper time. Vernon would never concede that Sul-. iigent had a majority of the qualified voters on the petition for an election.
 It was a battle Of affidavlts during their entire. stay in Montgomery. The rule of the Governor has been set in such contests as these. He will not order an election until he Is satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that ma- jority of the qualified electors in the County are in favor of the election. On the former visits of Sulligent citizens to see the Governor he was not satis-' ned that there was a majority of the bona fde voters on the petition.
 It is said that the afiidavits brought in by the Suliigent delegation were trimmed down to about Ss7 whereas the score for Vernon as finally decided stood at f.o0e. Thus It looked like a' temporary victory for the town of Yer non. Yesterday morning the Governor received a phone message that the delegations would return home and try to swell their lists. They hope to come loaded to the neck next time with affidavits. The intention of the sulli- gent contingent is to get a bulge on Vernon ana "walIop'' them in a garri- aay fInfah .s.a.- aE4
