from thla county, who last week made
application for the withdrawal of his

to support th people'e choice for United

opinion, which holds' that under the di
rect primary law a candidate for nomi

petition, amend the nam or file another
containing new matter, providing that
it Is done within the time for filing

It Is a matter which In no way can
