staged this year. There seems to b.
no interest or enthusiasm in the com
ing primary election to be held mex
Tuesday, the 10th, and as Indication
point to light vote the outcome Il
very uncertain for the contested po
sitions on the eDmOcratic ticket. Th'
Republicans have no contests.

approaching fight, and are as yet
making but little stir. There viii
be four interesting contests on the
Democratic side of the ballot-May'
or. Marshal, Clerk and Treasurer.

Prospective candidates for town
ship and municipal offices outside of
this city are now getting busy with
their petitions. Quite a number
have been in this office in the last
several days for petitions and invar-
iably ask the question as to how
many signatures are required on the
petitions. There seems to be some
misunderstanding in regard to the
matter, as primary petitions require
two per cent. signers of the vote cast
in the precinct while direct nOmina-
tiOn petitions require twenty-five |
signatures, it matters not whether it
be in the township or corporation.
The law governing this matter is |
found under Chapter of the Ohio |
Election Laws, Page 102, and Sec
tions 1896 and 1897.
Section 1895 reads: Nominations |
of candidates for any elective office |
in any township or in any munich |
pality which at the last preceding |
federal censu had population less |
than two thousand may be made by |
petition signed in the aggregate for
each candidate by not less than twen-
ty-five qualified electors of such
township or village.
Section 1897 reads: Nominations
of candidates for the office of mem
Der of the board of education shall
be made by nominating papers sign
ed in the aggregate for each candi-
date by not less than twenty-five
qualified electors of the school dis
trict, of either sex, in village districts
and city school districts by not less
than two per cent. of the electors
voting at the next preceding gener-
al school election in such city or
school districts.
Inquiries have also come in from
prospective candidates for assessors
who have been in to get petitions re-
lative to how many assessors there
would be elected in the county Some
candidates are of the impression that
in townships which are divided in
to more than one voting precinct
such as Washington, Marion and
Dublin would have an assessor in
each precinct. This is not the case.
There will be one assessor in each
township and one in each village
outside of this city where there will
be four elected.
The law governing this matter is
found in House bill No. 20, passed
by the last legislature, providing for
the listing and valuation of property
for purposes of taxation and to re-
peal certain sections of the General
Code, which says under Section II:
At the regular election to be held in
November, 1915 and bi-ennially
thereafter, assessors shall be elected
in the manner provided by for the
election of ward, district, city, will
age and township officers as follows:
In municipal corporations divided in
to wards, one assessor shall be elect
ed in each ward in villages one as
SCISSOR shall be elected in townships
not having a municipal corporation,
therein one assessor shall be elected
in each township, and one assessor
shall be elected in the territory out
side of such municipal corporation.
Candidates for township and muni-
cipal offices must remember that
their petitions must be filed with the
Clerk of the Board of Elections not
later than September 2.
