A resolution was adopted requiring
candidates to file the usual pledge and
pay the assessment fixed by the Coun-
ty Democratic Committee on or before
IL o'clock, noon. of Wednesday, Aug
ust End. the day, preceding the first
campaign meeting.
| The new rules require the ap-
pointment of three managers and a
clerk for each precinct in the primary
election, and the pay Of the managers
was the subject of discussion. Here
tosore the rules have not required
three managers and q clerk and 1t has
been the custom for one of the man.
ayers to act as clerk, therefore it has
been necessary to pay only three
managers. The estimate Of the PROB
able expenses of the primary having
been based upon paying only three
me snagers at each club at the rate Of
$1.00 per day and mileage to one
manager who comes for and returns
the election boxes, it was found that
either the assessments would have to
be increased or the pay Of managers
reduced. After considerable discus
sion 1t was decided, on the motion of
Mr.. c. M. Emanuel, to pay So for
managers and clerk at each precinct
for each primary, and to allow The
usual mileage to the manager who
comes for and returns the election
boxes. This resolution was adopted
by vote Of 13 to 6.
The Secretary and Treasurer was
instructed to settle on the best terms
obtainable out of the small bal
ance OF money brought over from he
last election and such other fund as
may be available after the expenses of
the present campaign shall have been
paid. the printing and advertising ac-
counts brought over from the cam
paign of 1910, now due Knight Bros.
and Osteen Publishing Co.
The managers of election were
appointed on the recommendation of
the Executive Committeeman pres
ent, and it was further provided that
the clubs not represented be permit
ted to send In to County Chairman ].
n. Clifton their recommendations for
managers at their earliest convenience
and that the County Chairman be di-
rected. to prepare and publish the

eminent and city officials will march
in the parade. The list as already
made up will give over $500 people in

to come in who rave not yet report

5000 people will be in line when the
word to march is given.
1t was voted at this meeting that

Chief Marshal Pepper has announo-

the people that the parade will start
promptly at O'Clock. 1t will be
necessary for it - do so to get the
program over in time so that every

The greatest amount of interest is
being taken in TIE program by the

seems to be every indication that the
parade will be the biggest thing that
was ever staged in the city in that
line.
The program Tor the exercises on
