week that the largest number Of
votes ever cast in this county
would be pol'ed in primaries this

man announced that $500 per-

be the largest in the history of
the county and double the num-
Der voting for governor in 1913,
when 1924 votes were east in
the second primary.
Although those paying poll
axes for the first time will not
generally be qualified, except in
