ships; Plan Gains Headway

With the gradual opening Of
the political campaign for cleo
ton to local offices in Arlington
county. and with the number of
candidates for the several offices
growing larger and larger, the
movement .tor a primary election
as a means of cutting down the
list is gaining strength among
the voters of the county.
The Republicans of the county.
In a convention, usually nominate
. partial list of candidates, but
the Democratic party has never
adopted the primary for local
offices although the plan is used
In. practically every other county
In the State.
No Party Lines
Failure to adopt the elimi
nation method provided for by
the State law is accounted for
in the fact that party lines, at
least on the surface, are left out
Of local campaigns, and even in
the Republican ranks, where
convention is held, Republican
candidates for office often run
without Subjecting themselves to
the nomination of the conven-
ton.
With the adoption of the
new form of county govern
nnent by the voters in the
November election, however, the
county has been flooded with
q list of candidates for the
offices Of commissioner, of
which there will be five instead
Of the three supervisors as in
the present form, and for the
office of county judge, a new
office set up in the new form
Of government.
Back of the movement for a
primary election is the desire of
the voters of the county to avoid
a ballot so long and bulky that
an intelligent selection will be
difficult to make.
From present indications, there
viii be at least 40 names on the
ballot for, local offices in No.

Gated their intention to run for
