Issue to Fore
IBy Evening News Correspondent

10y evening EcNS
TRENTON, Aug. 31-The primary
fights throughout the state for nom
nations for the legislative tickets
and for county offices will begin in
earnest on Friday of this week,
which is the last day for filing NOM
mating petitions for these places.
Many of the petitions have already
been filed, and the leaders of both
parties are busy seeing that the
regular candidates get their petitions
on file in time.
The primary election is Tuesday,
September 81, and from now until
that date the adherents of the vari-
Gus candidates in both parties will
be working like Trojans for victory.
Many of these primary battles will
be on candidates for the senate and
assembly, while others will be for
county offices and freebooter.
Wet and Dry Issues
In the legislative contests the most
bitter fights will be on the wet and
dry issue and the question of the en-
forcement or repeal of the VanNess
prohibition enforcement act In
several counties candidates for the
nomination for senator and assem-
blymen are pledged for n against
dry enforcement, and the struggle of
the two sides to get their nominees
on the ticket to be voted for in
November will be determined.
The terms of the new election Off
GERS just appointed in all the coun-
ties will begin tomorrow. Before
entering upon their duties they are

bers will be clerks of election.

by the large number of women vot-
ers last November. This means that
the total number of election officers
in the state is 9,704.
