THE NEW STATE
PRIMARY LAW
Presents No Difficulties
In Operation.
ELECTION OCCURS AUGUST 3
Voting Expected to Pass Off
Smoothly in the Affect
ed Districts.
WHERE CONTESTS WILL OCCUR

DIR. G. +. Crecelius, Secretary of
State, says that he believes the first
Statewide primary, which will be
held August 8, will pass off as
smoothly as a general election. He
has had many inquiries about the
law, copies of which he mailed to
all election officers end those direct
ly Interested; but there have been
no problems of any grave nature
submitted Stree tire Court of APP
-peals upheld the statute. ----
The law fixes the date for the
primary on the first Saturday in
August preceding the general cleo
tion in November at which the cam
didates to he nominated are voted
on. 4 special registration will be
held ar the offices of the County
Clerks fourteen days before the pri-
mary, which will be July 90. Those
who we're absent from home or pre-
vented by illness from registering
at the last registration, persons who
have since become of age, or who
have become qualified to vote at the
next general election since the reg
istration day, are entitled to be
registered under oath.
Officers OF the primary are APP
pointed by the County Board of
Election Commissioners. just as for
the general election, hut the names
from which selections are m?de are
to be- submitted by party commit
tees to the board fifteen days be- f.
fore the primary. or by July 10, |.

it fortunate that the "try-out" of |
the primary law comes in an off" |

ional races are furnishing the inter-

to develop a breast bone
which would be big enough
to cover his chest and at
