Country voters have to date tak en small Interest in either men or measures before them in tho pri mary, and the county court hopes they will vote. The courthouse is I ns much theirs as the cities, and a representative and full expres sion of opinion is sought. A fairly heavy vote will bo cast In the citioH especially this city, Ashland, Central Point nnd Jack sonville on the courthouse Issue, and the preponderance of opinion, when voters have taken time to give an opinion, favors the Wash ington school site, the selection of the county court. A report was in circulation the past week, that a petition was be ing quietly circulated in Ashland and rural areas, asking that the courthouse be moved back to Jacksonville. Nobody could be found who had seen tho petition, or lis circulators, and it' seems to be one of the Inevitable eleventh hour canards that bloom In every campaign. Nobody In Jacksonville has seen the alleged petition up to noon to day, and the same condition pre vailed in Ashland. A few reported they sa w a man. who sa w a woman, who saw a man who claimed ho saw a man with the petition. The Jacksonville senti ment on tho court house is neutral.
