Prefer Method of Paying
riling Fee
Sam A. Kozer. secretary of
state, announces that forms fo
filing candidate.', for nomination:;
to bo made "at the primary elec
tions May 19 next are now avail
able for distribution. Different
statutory regulations exist rela
tive to the number of signers and
the number of precincts to be rep
resented on; the completed peti
tions, according to the nomina
tion sou glut.
Mi his explanation of the pro- f
ceaure to net. iouowea an tiling i
candidacies, Mr. Kozer said:
"Tho original method provided
by Ih ; primary nominating law
requirer. that a copy of the can
didate's petition be filed with the
secretary of State before or at th'
time of beginning to circulate tht
petition proper for the requisite
number of signatures. Different
statutory regulations exist with
reference to; the number of sign
ers and the number ofprecinits
to be represented on the complet
ed petitions, according to the nom
ination sought.
Fei Method Popular
"What has proved to lie the
more popular method of filing
candidacies Is by the use of dec,
larations accompanied by a fee, as'
provided by tha legislature of
1915. Under thia plan the candi
date is required merely to fill out
a form containing the statutory
pledges specified for all candidates,-
and In addition a state
ment in not more than 100 words
of the principles he advocatas, to
gether with the form in which he
wishes his slogan to be printed
vpoii the official ballots, this last
to be in not more than 12 words.
The fees to accompany declara
tions of candidates, as prescribed
by statute, are: National commi
tteemen, $15; representatives in
congress, goyernor, state treas
urer, JU8HC0 or the supreme
court, superintendent of public
instruction, commissioner, of bu
rsau of labor statistics and com
misisoner of; the public service
commission of Oregon, each 100;
Judge of tke circuit court. S 50:
district attorney, $29; state sen
ator and state representative
each $10; county officers, $?0;
andi district officers within; a
county (as justice of tha peace,
constable, et.), $5.
Signatures Kcqoired
"In general, under the petition
form of filing, the completed pe-
tition must contain a number' of
signatures equal to 2 per cent of
the electors of the political paorty
with which the-candidate tor nom
ination, is affiliates. 1 For this
purpose the number of electors; of
any party Is identified and deter
mined by th number of votes
cast by the i members of such
party for representative, in con
gress at the last preceding general
election.
"the nominees or the republi
can party for" representatives in
congress from the throe congres
sional districts of the state re
ceived and : aggregate vote of
143,136 at the general election
November 2,; 1920, and, based
upon this figure, the completed
petition of a candidate for nomi
nation by the members of the Re
publican party for any state of
fice would be; required io contain
2,863 signatures. The law with
reference to j petitions, however,
prescribe that not more than 1000
signatures shall be required in the
case jot a carididate for an office
to be voted upon in the state at
large, and inasmuch a tho gener
al requirements of 2 per cent of
electors exceed in this case tho
maximum-requirement of the law,
a petition signed by 1000 qualil
fled j voters . of the Republican
party would be sufficient and val
id for the purpose of securing a
place on tho; ballot for a Repub
lican candidjte for nomination for
a state office. The Democratic
nominees for representatives ia
congress at tho general election
Jr. 1920 received a total of 120
4 S3 Votes, and petitions for candi
dates of this party for nomination
for s.tate offices.are subject to the
sami regulations.
