EFFORTS TO BE:
MADE TO SPEED e.
COUNT OF VOTERS
Letters Sent to Clerks of Cir
cult and County Courts
Urging Care.

CHARLESTON, June 19.-Ex-
petition in canvassing the vote at
the coming primary election and
in reporting the returns and care
in preparation of the ballots were
urged in letters sent by Secretary
of State Houston g.. Young today
to clerks of county and circuit
courts throughout the state.
The letter to the circuit court
clerks recalled that at the last
primary there were two or three
counties in which mistakes in
printing the ballots, causing en-
barrassing difficulties. In view OF
this, the secretary Of state sug-
gested that the board of ballot
commissioners. in each county be
called together as soon as was
possible and that the ballot pre-
pared be checked carefully against
all certificates of candidates of
both parties He also suggested
that the board get the ballots to
printers at an early date after
July i, the time limit for certify
ing candidates., and pointed out
that in at. least one of the in
stances at the last primary the
error in the ballot was made be-
cause the printer was rushed in
preparing the ballots.
The letter to the clerks of coun--
ty courts called attention to the
section of the primary law which
imposes lon county courts the
duty of sitting as a board Of can
vassers, and pointed out that the
date for performing this duty this
year was Friday, August
in the past year Mr.. Young
continued, there has been en-
tirely too much delay on the part.
of some of the county courts and
clerks in certifying the result to
this office. The pressure on this
office on the part of the public
and the newspapers to ascertain
the results of primary. elections is
almost unbearable, and propose
to, do my part in ascertaining the
results as quickly as possible this
year.
In connection with these let
tiers, it was recalled around the
state house thatFat the last prim-.
airy contest in some sections We're
SO close it was imp possible to de-
;termine results surely by unoffi-
cial reports and that it was near
ly; four weeks before all of the Of
fetal returns We're made.

ST. PAUL. June 10. -Minnesota
voters went to the polls today 10
nominate party candidates for the
United States Senate, Congress
and state officers in a primary
election that will determine to a
larger extent the effectiveness of
the new party convention law.
More than the usual interest is
attached to the senatorial race, for
woman Mrs. Anna Dickfe OLE
sen of C1oquet, is contesting with
two men for the Democratic nom
nation and Senator Frank B kel-
Iogg, an avowed supporter of the
national administration has two
opponents.

atorial contest for first attention is
the Republican congressional fight
in the third district. where Re-
preventative G.. F. Davis, mem
Der of the national house since
1903, has active opposition IN
:Rueben Thoreen of Saltwater, who
has the Endorsement of the district
convention.
Senator. Kellogg and all state Of
ficers, with the exception OF the
clerk of the Supreme Court, have
the Endorsement of Republican
state or district conventions and
by the treatment accorded their
opponents today, political leaders
will measure the effectiveness OF
convention law passed by the 1921
legislature.
Under this law, a delegate to the
county convention of each party
was chosen in each precinct and
the county conventions in turn
elected delegates to state conven-
lions which Endorsed one candf-
date for each elective office sub

pace throughout the campaign by
making a statewide tour in an
automobile driven by herself. Her
