there is an extra session of con-
gress.
In regard to the cost of a special
primary it was explained by mem
bers of the committee that no pro-
vision is made by the State for spe-
cial primaries. hence all of the eX
penses have to be borne by the can
didates, and is prOrated between them.

erty and the commissioner desires
