THE PRIMARY ELECTION CALLED
out bigger vote than most people expected.
It's healthy sign when the public takes an
interest in government on election day. Too
often the only democratic function some peo-
pie perform is to kick.
THE PERCENTAGE OF STATE BAL
lots spoiled by careless voters who don't
read the instructions is diminishing, for
which the newspapers of the state can claim

A NEWSPAPER HATES TO ADMIT

legal procedure was Connie Benefits testi-
mony on the witness stand that painter
made her thighs look too big But she won
her case and got on the front page. And
probably the publicity will give her pictures

how big her thighs are.-Echo Alexandria.
