Other Information the
Candidates Should Have

Chairman B. e. Summers requests
The Leader to state for him ofic-
tally thai all candidates who have
mot vet paid in their money will
please do so at the Brookhaven Bank
& Trust Co., making deposit to his
credit as chairman of the committee.
The duplicate receipt given the can
didate at the bank will be all the re-
ceipt that is necessary and will show
that such candidate is entitled to
have his name printed on the ballots.
Ballots are. now being printed for
the soldier boys who have not re-
turned home, the law and intention
of the committee being that all of
those absent shall have part in the
election the same as they did last
summer. It will be necessary that
the committee be furnished with the
names of such voters who are away
in the country's service. Secretary
Chester Byrne, of the committee, will
receive these names at the City
Hall and see that the absent parties
are mailed out ballots. 1t is impor-
tant that these names be turned IN
promptly as some of the addresses
will have to go overseas and back
and Of course will have to be in
hand on election day in order that
they may count in the election.
