Primary Law Affords Full For Leaders to Enter METHODS OF NOMINATION The policy of the direct primary act is to be construed liberally to insure in-sure full opportunity for anyone to become a candidate. In the present setup of the new primary law, there are four ways in which a person desiring de-siring to be considered as a candidate candi-date for a political party or as an independent may have his name presented to the people. 1. Personal petition filed by the prospective candidate. 2. Organization sponsoring a candidate. 3. New party organization. 4. Independent. Under the personal petition the candidate who desires his name to be placed before the primary electors elec-tors as a political party nominee may do so by filing a petition with the Secretary pf State, or the County Coun-ty Clerk, as the case may be, for the office' desired. The petition shall be on a printed form supplied by county clerks. It shall state the political party to which the aspirant belongs and ar oath wherein the aspirant swears that he has been a loyal supporter of such party, that he Intends to continue to support it, that he will not withdraw from the race, and that he will live up to the laws of the state, especially the laws concerning corrupt practices. This petition must be subscribed and sworn to before a notary public or other proper authority. Upon filing of this petition, a fee of of 1 per cent of the total salary to be paid for the entire term of office sought must be paid. This petition must be filed by the proper officer not later than 5 p. m. on August 29 for county offices, and not later than August 13 at 5 p. m. for state offices. The earliest dates on which petitions may be received are June 3 for state offices and June 28 fer county offices. II.

AMEmCATTFO HIGHWAY WIDENING IS HELD FEASIBLE BY STATE EXPERT State road engineers will survey Main street and make estimates on the cost of proposed widening of the highway probably within 30 days, a combined city council-Lions club committee said here this week following fol-lowing a conference with the state road commission. W. D. Hammond, of the commission, commis-sion, and E. C. Knowlton, chief engineer, en-gineer, at the meeting on Wednesday Wednes-day of last week in Salt Lake City, agreed on feasibility of the project, the Joint committee reported. However, How-ever, no commitment to sponsor the project was obtained, the officials explaining that the state funds would be .insufficient to cover the estimated cost. Clifford E. Young of the Lions club acted as spokesman for the group. Others participating in the conference confer-ence were Mayor Albert Tregaskis, Councilman William S. Storrs, and Chipman, Clarence A. Grant, and A. Frank Gaisf ord. A tentative estimate of approximately approxi-mately $14,000 for the widening of the street, six feet on each side, for three blocks fn the business district, was made by Mr. Knowlton. This would cover the cost of concrete paving and new curbing. However, it was suggested that the present curbing might be pushed back, and an oil and gravel, mix filled in on the sides, at considerably consider-ably less cost, on a temporary basis. The commissioner indicated that the road commission would not be in a position to finance the project entirely out of state funds, but would consider a plan whereby federal fed-eral aid or other financing would cover the major part of the cost. If the elector named desires to accept ac-cept the nomination, he must file an acceptance and pay the required fee at least 30 days prior to the primary pri-mary election. When this is done he shall then be placed on the ballot bal-lot at the primary election, in a like manner as if he himself had filed the declaration of candidacy. The acceptance form filed by this candidate can-didate shall contain substantially the same information and oaths as taken by those filing a personal petition. pe-tition. HI. The new primary law provides pro-vides that only parties who polled for its candidates more than two per cent of the total votes cast for representatives rep-resentatives In congress at the last election will be allowed to enter candidates in the two ways mentioned men-tioned above. Any organization which did not participate in the last preceding November election, or other political parties who were on the ticket last time, but failed to poll at least two per cent of the total votes, can only place their candidates in the field this year by a new organization. In order to do this, they must secure the signatures of 500 qualified electors, who are not necessarily members of their party, but who will endorse their doctrines and sign the petition of the organization. organ-ization. This petition shall ask that a state convention be held to name candidates for the organization. The petition must be filed at least 60 days prior to the day of the regular reg-ular primary election, which would be not later than July 14. When this petition has been properly certified cer-tified to the secretary of state, he shall then certify that the said state convention may be held. The officers offi-cers of the organization will then proceed to call a state convention, where the various candidates for office will be selected. Another petition pe-tition is then prepared, which is headed by the candidates thus selected, selec-ted, and 500 names must also be secured and attached to this petition. peti-tion. After Uie "proper number, of qualified voters have signed, the petition must then be filed on or be! fore the second Tuesday of October with the secretary of state, who will then certify these candidates as the official candidates to be placed under un-der the party emblem of the organization organi-zation for the November election. All names on petitions must be verified veri-fied by a notary. IV. Any candidate who does not 15.
