IMPORTANT MATTERS FOR THE
PRIMARY VOTERS.

Voters of the county should read
the following rules before attempting
/ to vote:
NO Republican can vote, and no
Democrat who didn't support the
whole ticket last November can vote.
The same qualifications as general
election prevail otherwise; one must
be resident of the State one year.
county six months and precinct sixty
days, and be at least 21 years old at
the time of voting.
There are women who are well
known Democrats, of Democratic
families, who expect to affiliate with
the Democratic party, but who failed
to vote last fall-some for lack of
means to get to the polls, absence
from home, sickness and other valid
reasons. All such known to be of
Democratic belief, are entitled to be
voters in the primary.
There is an affidavit which voters
must sign, if requested by election
officers, stating that they are Dem
ocrats and have the other legal quail.
ifications as stated heretofore. Any
officer or challenger has a right to
compel any voter to sign up before
voting It they doubt his qualifica-
ton.
No mixed tickets voted last fall
entities a voter to participate in a
Democratic primary.
The law is very plain, short and
simple. If you voted any ticket ex-
cept straight Democratic last fall,
you are not eligible to vote in
August. If you did not vote in No
vember for any good reason and if
you are Democrat, you are entitled
to vote.
No one can vote by mail in the
August primary. Absent voters vote
by mail only in November elections.
There is a penalty for voting when
not entitled to; people not entitled
to vote must not vote in this Pri-
mary.

BATTLE OF BALLOTS
BUT ONE DAY AWAY

With the city and county primary
now a matter of but one or two days
In the distance, politics has passed
the simmering stage and has begun
TO boil. In the local campaign there
has been very little mud-slinging
and the candidates have in the main
prosecuted their claims for prefer
ment to office in a dignified way
that has not detracted from their
merits.
The battle that will begin at an
early hour tomorrow morning will
not be In the nature of a fight be-
tween two political parties of differ
ing faiths, but between candidates
for places on the Democratic ticket.
Whatever the outcome may be. no
matter who wins, or loses, the winner
and loser, like good fighters of the
Democratic faith, will be up and do
ing when the common enemy comes
against them in November. 1t will
be Alta, boyw all along the line
Tor the Democratic hosts, and woe
to the Republican weak enough to
imagine party success at the polls in
November.
Inc fact that women can vote in
the primary this year has compli-
Gated the situation for many candi-
dates, and their announcements in
the local papers show they have
realized it. Some of the candidates
nave made appeals very pointedly to-
ward the feminine vote and indicate
that in many instances it is on the
new voters they will hang their
hopes of nomination.
In the campaign that is drawing to
close THE NEWS has consistently
kept hands of, and has neither said
or done anything to imperil the
chances of any particular candidate.
We want every good Democrat to go
to the polls tomorrow morning, and
vote as his or her conscience die
tates, not as someone says. The can
didates represent the best there is in
the ranks of local Democracy, and
win or lose, let's all do our duty to-
morrow. On with the battle, and
may the best men win!

WELCOME RAINS END A LONG
DROUTH.

The drouth which has continued
in this section of the State for nearly
two months, during which time few
light showers fell, not doing much
good, was broken by heavy rains
which fell Tuesday night and early
wednesday morning, cooling the
heated atmosphere, and bringing re-
lief to plants, vegetation, and to hu-
mans and beasts as well.
The rains were general, covering
a large scope of territory, and will be
of great benefit to the growing crops,
especially to the tobacco and late
corn, and will help to revive the
grass for fall pasturage.

 The American charge, George T. Summerlin, several days ago took up MT. Buckley's case with the Mext- can foreign office, and was informed, it is reported, that his expulsion had been ordered because of his aggress- iveness against the Mexican govern ment. Mir. Buckley today sent a lengthy telegram to friends in Washington In which he stated:
 My offense is that since March, have publicly advocated the Mexi- can policy later adopted by the American government and that since then I have publicly defended that policy"
 The telegram concludes: If the American government rules that an American citizen may be ex- pelled from Mexico with impunity and does not insist on an order of expulsion I will leave the embassy and submit to arrest"
 WASHINGTON. Nov. 2s. = w. F Buckley, the American threatened with expulsion from Mexico, is a New York lawyer, recently connected with real estate and oil operations in Mexico. His connections have been with some of the smaller companies. News of his predicament reached officials today through friends and was laid before some government of- 1 ficials. No views were expressed be- cause 1t was pointed out that the Mexican government has neither de- ported nor arrested Buckley.

thepubiican A. P. Leased Wire1
 WASHINGTON. Nov. 26.-Convic- ton that the Washington conference has marked new era in diplo- macy Is expressed by the four wo- men members of the advisory com mittee to the American delegation in a letter addressed to Lady Astor, member of the British house of com mons. hade public tonight. The let ter. signed by Mrs. Charles Sumner Bird, Mrs. Katherine Philips Edson, Mrs. Eleanor Franklin Egan, and Mrs. Thomas G. Winter. is in reply to letter from Lady Astor trans hitting the views of the women of England on the conference.
 This conference has marked a new era in diplomacy" the Americans letter says. we now realize that in America, as in other countries, pub lie opinion has found its new way to power and is affecting the course of statesmen who once could settle everything behind closed doors.
 ''We do not agree with these peo- pie who have little faith in the out come of this conference, who believe that nations having been selfish and having settled their disputes by war, must therefore continue to do so These people are filled with suspi- cions and call for more armaments and increasing preparations for war begetting a spirit of fear and dis trust.
 We believe with you that the great war has taught us the need of peace and that no nation can stand by itself. We believe that if we want our type of civilization and cul- ture to endure and to progress that this fierce race for armament must cease. We all know that another world war would be a more exten- sive, more destructive thsn the last and might well be the beginning oi the degeneration of our race.
 "The conference was called three weeks ago. Already the decks have been cleared for action, all issues brushed away and concrete fai reaching proposal for immediate linn itation of naval armaments has beer advanced by the United States, anC accepted in principles by the two other great naval powers, England and Japan.

RECRUITING BILL ID RAISE FRENCH ARMY
 GIVEN TO DEPUTIES
rRepubIIcan A. P. Leased WIrel


 PARIS, Nov. 26-The governments g recruiting bill, to raise a nucleus of professional soldiers as the stabilizer of smaller conscripted army under the proposed IS months service was filed today with the army commits sion of the chamber of deputies. This bill is still indefinite, but its advo- cates consider it capable of produc- ing 100,0 ,000 men who will form the framework of a big army in case of need.
 The bill, coupled with Premier Friends declaration at Washington of a reduction in the army, has re- suited in much discussion. It is agreed that the country demands IS months service, and this probably will be adopted. but there are wide differences of opinion as to what force France should maintain.
 Eighteen months service, it is esti- mated by army commissioners, would maintain a force of a quarter of million. This is based on the fact that there are about 300,000 men of military age annually out of whom could be drafted about 170,000. In addition contingents could be re- cruited from among professional sol diers, as well as Moroccans, Sene- galese and Orientals.
 Members of the commission assert that the plan of the military author ities call for a total force approach ing half a million. But there is an evident desire by the chamber to re- duce the army to the smallest num- Der compatible with the country's safety.
 The new recruiting bill approved by the cabinet Thursday authorizes the enlistment of former soldiers up to the age of 36 years, for two years
