Harris, of the state executive committee, will take steps to have the name of J. D. Price, democratic nominee for commissioner of agriculture, put on the ticket to be voted in the coming state election of October 2, both for the unexpired term of Commissisnershomas .G. Hud son, and the full term of two years. Chairman Harris wrote to Sec re:ary of State Philip Cook rela tive to the matter, but Mr. Cook has nothing to do with the tickets. It is Secretary Cook’s duty to get out the blanks for the consolida ted returns for each county, and these will be forwarded Monday to the ordinaries over the State. It was too late, however, to put on the unexpired term; it appears there only for the full term. There will be no difficulty, how ever, in inserting the result for the unexpired term. Qaerotary Cook and others are of the opinion that the governor’s appointment to the position of commissioner of agriculture, as in the case of other statehouse officers, holds only until the elec tion and qualification of a succes sor. Under this view, the candi date chosen for the unexpired term in the coming election would go into office as soon as he quali fies. , Commissioner J. J. Connor, )Jvho was appointed by Governor Brown, contends that he holds until the meeting of the legisla ture next July; and that Mr. Price cannot go into offce until the legislature canvasses the retruns and declares the result. There is a decided difference of opinion on the subject, and if a republican, socialist or candi date of some other party should offer for the unexpired term, and there should be no democratic candidate to oppose him, it might turn out, under the law, that he would get the job for the remain der of Mr. Hudson term. To guard against this, Chair man Harris has decided to put the name of Mr. Price, asthe candidate of the democratic party on the -ticket for the unexpired term. He will, of course, be elected, and the questicn as to when he goes into office can be settled following the election. The election blanks for gover nor are sent out separately from those for other statehouse offices, us the returns in thiselection are made to the president of the sen ate and the speaker of the house T Y AT 14 g [ Bk e i IR N 8 X et ’ F e ) ¥ S B .

Twelve men were indicted by the grand jury of the Morgan county superior court today on the charge of having bought and sold votes at the county primary held last May.

A number of the most wealthy and prominent men of the county are implicated and will be numbered among those who are indicted it is believed. The grand jury has been in ses sion since last Thursday making a searching investigation of the methods used in conducting the primary last May. Those who were defeated in this primary openiy charged that the successful candidates formed a pocl, each putting in so much money, which they distributed througnout the county to district heelers who in turn bought up the voters. It is this charge that the grand jury has been investigating. $B.OO worth of ware will be given away Free with every Maujestic Range sold at our Demonstration one week only Sept. 16 to 21st.
