Primaries will Be On Sept. IS

nder an agreement reached between
Gen. Murry Nandiver and John r. Han
ma. charmen, respectively, Of the Dem
ocratic and Republican State Central
Committees. the State wide primaries
will be held on Tuesday September II.
Some question has arisen as 10
whether this date will not extend the
period in which candidates. for Sena-
torial nominations may be filed until
Monday II had been assumed gener-
ally that the primaries would be held on
Monday. September -. and as Sena-
torial candidates must file their papers
with the Secretary of State not later
than 30 day before the primaries the
final day for filing was calculated TO be
August -. the coming Saturday.
Under the agreement for primaries
on September Il. the final day for filing
is August Ii, next Sunday The ques-
tion is whether papers may be filed on
the following Monday. August II. AT.
torney General Poe is looking into the
law and will give his decision shortly.
However. this is probably an academic
question. as the Republicans are expect
ed within the next day or two to deter
mine whether they will oppose Edward
G. Darlington, Ir., for the nomination
II they decide upon man and persuade
him into the field he will act AT once in
filing his papers,
The Bull Moosers have not selected
their candidate, but they are not affect
ed They will nominate By convention
under the provision of the law per
mitting that course to parties which poll
between per cent. and 10 per cent of
the votes cast IN the preceding elec-
ton.
