Winchester Will Have
P0St-OffiCe Primary.

At a mass meeting remarkable
for enthusiasm the Clark County
Committee Saturday decided unani-
mously in favor of holding a pri-
mary for the selection of a sue
cessor to Postmaster John G.
White, whose resignation has been
requested by the Post office De
partment. June % was fixed as
the date of the primary. 1t was
decided also that the open ballot
or viva voce voting should prevail
and that every Democratic voter
in the county should he permitted
to participate in this primary.
Officers to serve in the primary
will be chosen on June 81, at
which date entries will close. An
entrance fee of $50 will be charged
each candidate and if the sum thus
realized is not sufficient to cover
the expenses of the primary. the
successful candidate must make
good the deficit. 1t is the first
time in the history of the city
that the postmaster has been chos-
en- by any means other than by
appointment.
When it became known that
White would be ousted, the mat
ter of a primary was agitated un-
til sentiment was vigorously in
favor of it. The Winchester
Daily Sun issued a petition and
more than 700 names were affixed.
Congressman Cantrill, in short
talk, had the audience with him.
In the course of his remarks he
stated that papers in defense of
White had been put on file in
Washington and that it is propable
the postmaster would not be eject
ed from the Office. He declared
himself in favor of the open ballot
in the primary.

that the movement has started out
so splendidly we hope the people
will show the interest they should
