Hundreds Of soldiers primary cleo

Fourteen hundred such ballots were
mailed out Of this county, alone.
Three fourths OF them are expected
back. undelivered. after a mailing ex-
pense Of $3.50. The soldiers voting
law was the main reason given for
calling the late special legislative ses-
sion, but the elaborate machinery pro-
vided after long legislative discussion
appears Of little value.
The time for filing state and county
nominations for office has closed. 20
days before the date of the primary
election, September TO- There has
been no change in the lineup OF the
state nominations Of the three parties
represented An odd complication has
come through the Withdrawals Of W.
A. Moeur and Lamar Cobb from the
governorship race. Their names were
on the soldiers primary ballot and
will not be on the regular ballot IN
September. Thus it happens that the
soldiers who voted for them not only
have wasted their ballots. but may
have affected the final nomination in
a negative way 1t is possible that
the number OF Moeur and Cobb SOL
der votes viii be larger than the
plurality secured by the successful
Democratic candidate for governor.
If this happens, there may be trouble
