to you which I am prompted to write

We are about to enter upon a con

candidate must be able to go before
'he general electorate with clean
hands and with no taint or suspicion
of any violation of the corrupt prac
tices act. The most eithor of us Is
permitted to expend In the primary
for the nomination Is 15 per cent of
the yearly salarv. or the sum of $1,
125. The small amount of adver
tising either of us can legitimately
cet for this amount of money must
be apparent. I am frank to state
that I cannot nfford to spend even
this amount. This therefore Is. in a
sense, an appeal to your generosity.

be in such advertisement are In

It Is planned this year to Chang

will take the place. It is quite proh
ibit! that the local merchants will be
supplied with ballots to be distrib

The Junior queen will probably be
