cradle anxiety. Mr.. Raster said

S74-1f per precinct, on the average
10 hold the primaries. this year it
would average S169.10- and in 1915
there were - precincts, while this
year there are IS. In other words
the cost OF the July primary this
year will exceed $4,000.
Mr.. Raster added that the increased
cost was due 10 the fact that print
ing bills have mounted, and the ad-
dition Of women voters will make II
necessary to pay larger fees to cleo
tion officials. as the time for count
ing ballots viii be extended The
county chairman said he was unable
to arrive at any estimate Of how
many wdmen viii register, or to
even approximate the total NUMBER
