Tho Heavy Expense.
Chairman Radcliffe called attention
| to the heavy expense incidental tc
the holding Of primaries, and said
that he, with other members of the
| committee, had been striving to dis
cover some manner to take the ex
pense from candidates, and had con
sfdered the proposition of letting thc
county pay for clerks, inspectors ant
| the necessary printing. This idet
was pronounced unwise from the fac
that any political party which desir
| ed to hold a primary could call upor
| the county for like consideration. uu
