election will be held each year upon
this date. This bill provides such safe
guards as will insure to the people an
opportunity to have voice in the flu
ture nomination of all candidates for
public office. All candidates are guaran-
teed fair deal by this bill.
We have alway favored the Prim-
ary as the only fair way of maintain
ing candidates for public Office, and
congratulate the public upon having
written into law so fair and apparent
ly so perfect law governing primary

our government more democratic and
