MANY NAMES TO
 BE ON BALLOT
 IN THE PRIMARY
Democrats Will Pass Upon Longest List Ever Suo-
 rnitted in Arkansas.


 Arkansas voters in the Democratic primary March 29 will face a nerve racking task in wedding out what they, as individuals, believe the undesirables and casting votes for "their" candi- dates for various offices, says the Lit tie Rock Democrat. The ballot in the March primary will comprise a number of names such as never before was presented.
 In addition to being the first time they ever voted directly for or against Democratic nominees for president and vice president, the voters for the first time will vote on delegates to the national convention and for na- tional committeeman. In districts where there are contests for delegates, contests for Congress, for railroad commissioner, for prosecuting attor- ney, for representative, for state sena- tor and for divers and other offices, the ballots will be lengthy and com plex. I al
 Think Lists Closed.
 It is believed the lists of candidates for state and district officers are closed, although several avowed candi- dates so far have not qualified. and may see vacant place where they believed their names would be on the ballot unless the necessary fees are paid. The ticket closes at midnight March 1. The corrupt practices act, however, provides that pledges to abide by the statute must be filed with the secretary of state 30 days before the election, so these pledges should be filed not later than February 29.
