country central comittee of their
respective parties, such committe
to consist of not less than one
nor more than three members
from each precinct in that coun-

tee may elect its own officers and
fill vacancies that may occur in
the county ticket, and prepare
and announce the party princi-
pies or platform or it may call a
platform convention, electing
delegates themselves to such con
vention or provide the manner of
electing such delegates otherwise.
The county central committee
of each county may elect one
delegate to the state platform
convention, which shall meet for
all parties at II o'clock, noon,
on the twelfth day after the pri-
mary election at the same capt.
tai. The state platform conven-
ton shall within AZ hours after
assembling, by majority vote,
adopt their respective party
principles and file with secre-
tary of state a copy of such plat
form duly certified by the chair
man and secretary Of the conven

if the total thus received is more
than the like total of any other
candidate, he shall be declared
the nominee.

| hereby declare that during
my term of office, if elected, |
