lows:
"Resolved, That the State Convcn-

! governing the holding of Primary
Elections in the Democratic Party so
that the cost of holding them be paid
| from assessments against candidates
for state and Federal nominations
and half by assessments against cam
didates for County offices.
Resolved further that the present
method of placing the entire expense
Of holding Primary Elections on the
candidates for county offices only is
rni nifestly unjust and undemocratic.
Resolved further that whenever in
any county all offices are filled, either
state and Federal or county, the cost
Of additional primaries to fill such Of
fees shall be borne entirely out OF as
sessments against County candidates
or against State and Federal candl-

fellows who were not called to SER
vice had opportunity TO make wages
and income totaling many times that
, sum: and
Whereas, there arc in York coun-
ty. in the state and throughout the
