a set OF election officers be named for
each election, one for the primary, in
which only Democrats will participate,
and one for the special election. in
which any qualified voter, irrespective
of party, may cast his ballot. 1t is
expected that an official ruling will be
made upon this point within short

mary Is a legalized election, not con-
Quoted by party machinery. but by
men selected by the electoral boards.
and that these men Will have due
authority to conduct at their precincts

books-one set for the party primary
and another for the election.
rWrits OF election VIII go out today
from the office of the Secretary OF the
Commonwealth for those counties and
districts In which the vacancies evist.
