POLITICS IN DALLAS
CANDIDATES WANT TO HOLD
 EARLY PRIMARIES.

Selma Dec. 18.--(Special.) )--Selma politicians are agitating holding the county primaries next year early du- ring the spring so as to have the county election through with as soon as possible.
 Following the county primaries will come the municipal election and the State campaign. The city election next fall promises to be lively one but the State campaign in Dallas County will very likely be dull one as 1t Is not expected that any of the prospective and announced candidates for Governor will invade MT. Mailory's home county.
 It is expected that the Dallas Coun- ty Democratic Executive Committee w:ii meet soon after the holidays and fix the day for holding the county primaries. A call Tor the meeting of the County Committee may be issued during the coming week.
 A number of candidates for the county offices favor holding the pri- maries in March or April. As the county campaign has been on for about a year already it Is thought that the primaries should be held as early as possible in the spring so as to give the people c short rest before the other two elections of the year are held.
