Attorney General Cosson has ruled
that inasmuch as the socialist party
polled more than 2 per cent of the to-
tai vote cast for governor at the last
general election, candidates of that
party in any subdivision of the state
are eligible for places on the ticket
providing they obey the other regula-
ticns required of all candidates. The
point was raised by the county attor-
ney of Dallas county regarding the
placing of the name of socialist can
didate for the legislature On the tick
ct, where the socialists did not poll 2
per cent of the vote in that county.
The decision makes it possible for So
cialists to poll votes anywhere in the
state without reference to the number
polled in the subdivision.

the ground we'll stirred
To try to farm without these things
would truly be absurd.
