of political hopefuls, the Board of
Election Supervisors found itself
with 81 candidates for SO county
offices on the Democratic side alone.
"In addition, the Secretary of
States Office at Annapolis reported
ID Democratic candidates for 6
state and national offices in which
the voters of Montgomery County
have voice.
"This welter of candidates is
undoubtedly healthy sign for the
survival of our democratic institu-

confront the average voter with a
great need for signposts to guide
him through the political jungle.
Who are all these candidates?

AZ men and women running as
