new LAW
About Primary Should be Stud.
led Carefully. Makes Many
Changes in the Old Manner
of Nomination.

The new primary election law passed
by the last Legislature made many
changes In the old manner of nomina-
ting candidates for office. Candidates
for county and city Offices should study
the law carefully in order to acquaint
themselves with its provisions, because
certain things must be done before
candidates name can legally go on the
ballot at the August primary election.
Devices Eliminated.
Hereafter all devices will be elimina-
ted. Only the names of the candidates
will appear on the ballot, and if there
are voters who are unable to read they
will have a hard time finding their
choice on the ballot. With the use of
devices voters who could not read
found little trouble in locating their
favorites, but this has been changed by
the new election law and instead OF a
ballot resembling a circus poster, it
will contain nothing but printed matter
with the names of candidates in the
proper order.
Very Important.
One thing candidates should not
overlook is preparing the nominating
petitions and having the required num-
Der of legal voters signatures. A fail
ure in this will keep their names off the
ballot. Candidates for county and city
Offices must file nominating petitions
bearing the signatures of not less than
3 per cent. and of more than 10 per
cent. of the legal voters of the total
party at the last election for President.
Percentage of Signers.
1t will be just as fatal to a candidate
to secure more than 10 per cent. than
less than 3 per cent. This limit of sig
natures was probably incorporated in
the law to prevent candidates from
getting out early and securing a ma
jority of signatures, which would pre-
vent other candidates from getting up
a nominating petition.
When to File Petitions.
Candidates must bear in mind that
papers and petitions must
be filed with the county clerk thirty
days before the election and nomina.
ting petitions for signatures must not
be circulated earlier than sixty days be-
fore the date of fling, which is ninety
days before the election. The election
will be held on Saturday, August 2,
1913. According to the provisions of
the law petitions must not be circula-
ted for signatures before next May and
June. If they are candidates will be
barred from entering the primary.
