There has been question for some
time as to whether it would be neces-

The Attorney General of the state

There is but one county nomination
to be made this spring, that of Coun-
ty School Commissioner. February IL
was the last day for filing nomina-
ting petitions, and but one was filed,

oppose him for the nomination or
