The Galveston News Interpretation
Of the action Of the State Democratic
Executive Committee in ordering Q
second primary for senatorial candi
dates. is that the expense OF this sec
ond primary must be provided for in
the first assessment against state and
county candidates. In other words
state candidates and county candi
dates must be taxed in a sum suffI
cient to hold the July 22 primary. and
then this second or senatorial pri.

from for the assessment, or to make
the candidates pay It. has never been
