eaBsTx EXECUTIVE CoMM1TTEE
DECLARES RESULT OF PRIMARY.

The county democratic executive
committee met on Saturday in an ad-
jourRed meeting and tabulated the
IAvotes of the second primary. There
were only about so per cent of the
vote of the county cast, the total vote
being about 1900. Two boxes we're not
received, one from Union and at Zion
the boxes were not taken out and no
election held.
The committee finds itself short OF
funds to meet the expense OF the elec-
ton owing to the small number OF
candidates and the additional expense
%of sooths for the Australian ballot
system. The deficit is about $3.50 and
each member Of the committee was
asked to raise about ten cents per
menaber from his club to make up this
&dafieit. Several of the members pres
eat pledged amounts for their clubs
and a total of this deficit to the
amount of about $4,000 was pledged
A committee was also appointed to
see the senator and representatives
frona this county and ask them to Pc
tition the governor to appoint COM
missioners of election who would ap-
point as managers in the general cleo
tion the same who served in the pri-
mary as far as possible SO ehat they
might get some compensation for
atheir time as there is no pay provided
for the primary. Committee: H. R.
