Democratic State Central ioia1,;ige Met Tuesday and Decided Epan May l7 for Date ii There S,oald be Contest for Supreme Bcnrh.

Little Rock, March 3o Should there be opposition in the race for vacancies in the supreme court a pri mary election will be held May r to decide who is to be the Democratic nominee to be elected in July at q special election which will be called by Governor DonaEhey All who in tcnd 10 compete fer the honor must have their names placed on the tick ct, with the secretary of tn" state Democratic central committee, on or before April 10.
 All of this waG decided at the meet ing Of the Democratic state central committee, which was held in the banquet hali of the Hotel Marion this morning
 Judge R F. sliiwee. chairman of the coInN.tte'A, was in attendance and presided assisted by Bruce T. Bu- AGH Whu acted as secretary.
 resolution Was presented by Jas II. Harrod. who held the proxy of James Mellroy, of Fayetteville, mak !.ls5 April 6 the last day for fling Of p' ttions to place names upon the tickets; and making the primaries one month later. After some discussion the date for closing the entries was moved up to April 10. while the date for the primaries was postponed until May l7 An effort was made to have the primaries held May l3, but this did not succeed.
 The resolution also provided for the chairman and secretary of the committee declaring the candidate having NO opposition tue party nom nee.
 Both & A. McCulloch who will make the race for chief justice of the supreme court, which position he is now filling, being elevated there temporarily by the resignation of Chief Justice J. NJ. Hill, and Samuel Frauenthal appointed associate jus tice when Justice McCulloeh was promoted, made their formal declar ation as candidates for the offices during the day Steel Hays, of Rus sellville, who is to be candidate, was in attendance at the meeting and will make his declaration before leav ing the city.
 About three.fourths of the commit tee was present or represented by proxy, and the Harrod resolution, az amended. was unanimously passed.
 The committee made no arrange ments for meeting the expenses of possible primary election should there be more than one candidate for each Of the two offices. In fact, this Is to be one of the puZzling questions connected with the matter. In the ordinary elections the cost of tho election is assessed against the vari- OuS CHUUlQdLeS ana q luna SullClcnLly large to meet all necessary expenses is accumulated
 In the present case, however, there will be only q few candidates at the most liberal calculation, anj there might be only two for each offlce This would make 1t impossible, or, to say the least, impracticable, for the expenses to be met by the candidates themselves.
 T. is suggested that in the event more than one candidate announces for acil office the election expenses r., met by the townships themselves. tbe judges and clerks serving gratuit- ously, and where there was not sui Ecient interest and disposition to so serve the said precincts and town ships would simply lose their privi- 70 >i~l- I'll
