29 RUNNING FOR STATE
 OFFICES AT PRIMARY

The democratic ballot for the pri- mary election on September 12, will contain the names of 20 candidate who seek the nominations for the various state offices on the ticket while the republican ballot will contain the names of nine candidate according to the list of candidates announced by Ernest R. Hall, secretary of state, as having filed their nominating peti- tions within the period required by law.
 Of the 13 state officers to be elect ed including two judges of the st : preme court, the democrats have cor . tests on for seven of the offices in tn primary while the republicans have 3 but one contest, that for the office o' secretary of state. The democrats are going into the primary election with full state ticket while the re- publicans will have no candidate for five of the offices.
 Candidates for these offices, it has been announced by the republican state central committee, will be ob- tained after the primary election.
 Hunt Petition Largest
 Of all of the candidates, the peti- tion of former Gov. George w. P. Hunt, democratic candidate for gov ernor, contained the most names. His petition was signed by 3O95 voters, or 1,046 more signatures than was at tached to the next largest petition, that of Charles B. Ward, who also seeks the democratic nomination for governor.
 The petition of former Governor Hunt lacked by A names of having the maximum number of signatures which under the law could be filed. The law requires that nominating pe- titions shall be signed by not less than 1 per cent nor more than 10 per cent of the vote cast by the party for gov ernor at the last election, the sigma lures to be apportioned amongs not less than three ounties of the state. Under this law, the minimum number of signatures for the democratic can didate was 314 and the maximum 3139, while the minimum number for the republicans was 371 and the max imum, 3,707.
 One of the peculiar co-incidences of the filing of petitions was the, fact that the petitions of Amos A. Betts, democratic candidate for reelection as corporation commissioner and k. A. Kirk, republican candidate for the same office, each contained the same number of signatures, 1227. c. O..
