w — mm ST A TE PRIMAR Y WILL COST ABOUT $24,000 Assessments Made On Candidates Amount \ To $1,050. Heavy Expense of Primary . Must Be Met By Democrats. T „ hold the State Democratic primary Au»u«t 22 will take approximately u , aum of *24,000. Under the assessment authorized by the state Democratic executive com mittee the sum of *1,050 only was realised- Since no other assessment of t ha c idldates Is possible, under the ruling of the committee It Is now aauarety up to the Democracy of the Jite to stand by and bear the ex penses of the primary. For the past two days Chairman Id. r Yeomans has been In Atlanta pre- narfiu. the necessary blanks ami para phernalia for holding the primary, and has submitted the same to the governor for his approval. The tickets were sent out last week. D.noerats Must Bear Expenss. Ins' ouch as over three-fourths of the counties have already held their county primaries. It will depend largely upon the loyalty of Democrats to bear the expense of the state primary. To make assessments on the candidates for governor and state house .officials In all the counties would mean a sum so pro hibitive that It would exclude any but a wealthy man from making the race. Chairman Yeomans has marked an Innovation by sending out for the first time In such a primary blanks for con solidated state returns, precinct re turns, voters' lists and talley sheets. To have the tickets printed all the blanks and to answer the voluminous correspondence will absorb almost the entire assessment of (1,050. It appears, therefore, that the heavy expense of paying the election man- agers, clerks, etc., depends largely upon the loyalty of the Democrats. Chairman Yeomans Talks. "I favor an early primary,” said Chairman Yeomans Saturday morning. "I believe weshould hold state prima ries not earlier than June. I believe If you will look up the data you will find that the national Democratic con ventions for the past thirty years have occurred not later than July 6. It Is necessary, therefore, to hold at least every four years a state primary and convention prior to that time to select delegates to the national conventions. "The heaviest vote we have ever had In Georgia was In April. 1904, when there were only two contests—chief Justice of the supreme court and a pris on commissioner. That would appar ently argue for an early primary, as the people turn out then." Chairman Yeomans was asked as to the regulations for holding the pri mary and the pledge to be printed on the ballot: "I shall take every precatulon to see that It Is strictly a .white Democratic primary, an4 that It Is held In strict accordance with the regulations.'
