CAST LOTS FOR
 PLACE ON TICKET
CITY CENTRAL COMMITTEE Es- TABLlsHEs SOME PREcEDENTs
 IN MATTER OF ELECTION.
Will Stamp All Used Tax Receipts, and Will Pay the Judges and Clerks
 $3 Per Day For Their Service.

Some splendid innovations in the matter of holding municipal primary elections were installed yesterday when the City Democratic Central committee held it's adjourned meet ing at the court house. There were present Chairman Fry, Secretary Jes- SC Murphy, Treasurer J L. Peters and q quorum of the committee.
 One of the most interesting inno-
 vations established was that the can
 didates for various offices, where there is more than one candidate for
 the same office. shall draw lots for
 the order in which the names shall appear on the ticket This obyiates controversy and makes it fair as | between all the candidates. Under 1 the old system it was usually first
 come first served" system. and in one i instance a candidate before a primary
 spent several hours of the early morn
 ing waiting to force his claim to be first named
 Another innovation is that the | judges and clerks of election shall
 be paid S3 per day for their services. and that the officers Of election shall
 be paid s250 per day for their ser
 vices This is a substantial increase
 in the pay for judges and clerks, and | officers. Also the judges and cleraks l are to be given a 90 cent dinner. Another rule to be enforced by this 1 committee is that every poll tax used
 in the election by the electors shall
 be stamped with a rubber stamp to be supplied the judges by the commit
 tee. and which cancels the poll tax so ! that t can not be used another time
 in the same election
 The assessments made by the com
 mittee are as follows:
 Nor mayor, $50
 For police judge, s35.
 Fer city treasurer $20. For alderman S2.50.
 The committee made the dates on which the assessments shall be paid extend between January 15 and Feb ruary 3. and instructed Secretary Ies- SC Murphy to ask for an official opin- /, ion from the attorney general of the state as to whether any persons not
 residing in the limits of the city was entitled to hold city office. Upon
 the answer to this will hinge whether
 at least one candidate may remain in | the race
 There has been a precedent here
 wEere one holder of a city office did not reside ia the city limits, but there was alWays a controversy over Wheth- 1 CT or not that was proper and legal.
