Hurrah for the days of the old county fair!

REPUBLICANS
HOLD MEETING

Monday night the Republican
central committee of Dounglas county,
met at Gardneryille and took up the
work of complying with the new pri-
mary election law as regards select
ing men to serve on the election
boards in thes everal precincts in this
county. The committee selected Ray
Nesmith and Fred Heitman to serve
in Jacks Valley precinct; Lloyd
Wyatt and Henry Walker in Genoa
precinct; John Christensen and Pete
Thomson In sheridan precinct end
l.. P. Jacobsen and Chas. schuman in
East Fork precinct.
These names were duly certived to
and copy filed with the county clerk
as provided by law.
The primary election law provides
that each political party casting more
than ten per cent of the vote at the
las general election. shall submit the
names of two persons to serve on the
~
From these names the county clerk
is to select five to serve on the board
at the primary election to be held on
the second Tuesday in August In
Douglas county there are but two
political parties participating in the
primtries, and by the new law but
x.rsn hr
the county clerk as members of the
election boards in the several pre-
cincts. The clerk as directed to Sc
leet five. and has but four to select
from. Just where the fifth member of
the election board is coming from or
how he is to be appointed is mystery,
equal to the primary law itself. How
ever, the law says that in the event
deficiencies exist, the general election
law shall govern. this event the
board of county commissioners prob
ably have the power to appoint the
fifth member, but to be absolutely
sure. the county clerk will probably
pass the question up to the attorney
genral for his decision.
Since those who serve. on the pri-
mary election boards do so without
pay, 1t is quite possible that the
county commissioners will appoint the
same members on the election boards
for the general election, thus being re-
warded in way for their free services
at the primary election.

have long been known to possess
unrivailed scenic features. as well as
excellent hunting and fishing, but un-
til recently the condition of the roads
leading to the county. from the west
