PROPOSED PRIMARY LAW AMENDMENT * Partie® casting ten per centum or more of the total vote at the preceding general, election shab elect at a primary precinct committeemen. and delegates and alternate delegates to a City con vention which shall nominal* candidates to City offices, to a County convention which shall nominate candidates for County offices, to a congressional district convention whies shall nominate a candidate, for congress, and to a State convention which shall nominate candidates for all State office, candidates for presidential electors, candidates for United States Senator, and shill Choos'? delegates and alternate, to the National Cmvcntn'r. 1 ' congressional districts composed of one County only, the C convention shall also nominate t h e c a n d i d a t e for congress. Where legislative or judicial frepresent more than two Counties, the County conventions of each County shall elect delegates to a joint convention which shall nominate such candidates. Such primaries shall be ■held only when there is a contest for nomination: < If a majority of the precinct committeemen of any party decide in favor of the nomination of candidates of such party fori offices in City, County, or Districts at a direct primary, such candidates shall be so nominated by a primary as they now are if a County or District committee so decides. At all conventions. City, County. District or State, delegates nr alternate delegates only shall b< entitled to vote. In other words there shall be no proxies. The proposed amendment will remove the burden of the statewide primary, will provide for the election of delegates to all conventions by primary, and will do dway with the primary entirely when there is nowontest and will authorize local direct primaries for the nomination of all local candidates, when that method is desired. City precinct committeemen and delegates to City conventions shall also be elected by primary and a direct primary will be held for the nomination of City Officers of any party, if a majority of the City precinct committeemen of such party shall so elect. The proposed revision so Amplifies the law thal no interpretation will be necessary,/and at the same time every - possible safeguard of the old law is retained. If enacted it will permit a man of moderate means -to be a candidate for state office and will also mean a considerable saving of expense to the taxpayers by doing away with the printing, distributing and canvassing of state ballots, by the * eliminatin' of the primary entirely when no contests develop, and by the general simplication of the primary machinery. A PPR A ISFREA L EST ATE * The state tar board has ordered an appraisement of all real estate in Kosciusko county, along with all other counties* in the state, this year.. Real estate in Kosciusko county was appraised only two years ago. The order for a re-annraise-ment this year is. in keepinv with the platform of Gov.
