COMMISSIONER - LOCAL COMMIT
TEES FAIL TO FILE FOR ALL
DISTRICTS.

Not for a number of years has the
members of both big political parties
took such little interest in the primary
election in this county. 1t was hardly
noticeable on Tuesday that tickets
were to be made on primary day, Sep

election, from the lack of enthusiasm
shown. 1t was with difficulty to arouse
enough interest among the people to
file their certificates for county CEN
trail committee and number of the dis
tricts are without representation, but
they will be filled later by the State
Central Committees by both sides aft
er the election.
