Candidates For Road Supervisors Don’t File For Primary.

Candidates for road supervisor do not have to file for the primary election. In fact, they are not elected at the general elections but at a special election to be held the second Saturday following the second Monday in December. Already several have filed but they did so without being familiar with the change in the law. AJI petitions filed are required- to be signed in ink. Candidates for the state convention must have each of the signers use ink instead of signing with a pencil. Ohe petition on file is signed with a 1 lead pencil but under the provisions of the primary law the election commissioners can not place this candidate’s name on the ballot an'd it will be necessary for him to file another petition.
