able to take care Of all corners. From
what have heard in the office, politics
is going to have big place in the
county for the next four months, and
we expect busy time of it. The peo-

with Che provisions of the primary law
and no one has any trouble getting into
the race now. Some people were of the
opinion that the non partisan law
would prevail at this election, but this
does not in any way apply to elections

the corrupt practice act and will be
glad to let any of the candidates inform
themselves as to the provisions of this
