About the State
Only Six Weeks Remain before
Vital Primary Election Date
BY Guy LaFollette

Vital Primary Election Date
OlympiaAOn Tuesday, July H.,
which is less than six full weeks
from today, the most important
primary election in our history
will be held in this state. Already
we hear from some voters who
look at the long list of filings for
most offices that there is short
age of the kind of candidates they
wish to vote for. If this is true
there is no one to blame but the
voters themselves for lack of in
terest in assisting to select candi-
dates. Anyone was eligible to file
and the fee is small. However, that
is all in the past. The date was
May IL, and since that time the
only persons to choose from are
those who did file. You should do
your utmost to select from these
men and women whom will most
likely fill the positions sought in
the manner you think they should
be cared for. r.
Our Plain Duty as
American Citizens
If we are good Americans we
will register, vote and vote intelli-
gently. Just a little, more than
three weeks remain in which to
register for the primary election.
