ECRET TARY THOMP PSON OF
ELECTION BOARD ISSUES
WARNING To CANDIDATE

Up W llNtg lllSllN AiA'AN hfN cNNAA
no change in the personnel of the
lineup of county candidates who have
entered the Carter county handicap
for public approval, but it is more
| than probable that before many days
elapse that few more will be added
| to the list.
/ It has been whispered that there
may be withdrawals by some who have
already announced, although this ru-
NOR has not been confirmed, however,
it is not likely that any who has gone
so far will announce that they are
out Of the running, but that remains
/ to be seen.
In republican ranks it is likewise
reported that the ticket will not be
complete unless substitute names are
offered because there is at least one
and probably two who have announced
that they will not make the cam
paign under any circumstances. This
will leave a gap in the ranks Of the
G. o. p. lineup, to be supplied.
Candidates are slow in registering
with the secretary of the county cleo
ton board, and they are again re-
minded that this little matter must
be attended to, if they hope to have
their names appear on the official bal
lot for the primary election.
July Srd is the last day in which
candidates may file with the secre-
tary and any one failing to do so
will be out Of luck because the books
will be closed promptly at midnight
and not another name added after
that hour. Secretary Walter Thomp-
son stated yesterday that the job hunt.
ers had better get busy.
The following candidates have en-
rolled up to Friday night which shows
many who have neglected to do so up

Mr.. Thompson further stated that
number of candidates were leaving
the question of registering with their
friends which is a grievous mistake,
that the friend was liable to overlook
the proposition entirely until too late
| which would leave the candidate out
| on limb. He advises that every
candidate make this business per-
| sonal matter and see that their names
| are properly recorded.
The opening Of the county cam
| paign at Newport on the night of the
17th was marred by a heavy downpour
Of rain, and the candidates have de
cided to hold a big picnic within the
| next few days at some central point
where the aspirants for office may
present their claims before the people
| The more active of the candidates
have been combing the bushes fol
some time and it is easy to follow
the trail of campaign cards blaZed ou
by the pioneer campaigner who prefers
a heart to heart talk with the voter
rather than an hour Of oratory from
the stump.
