clal Ballot Will Be the
J-. . -T
The voter of Harris oounty wia be
eoc fronted rwlth the difficulty this year
oC r o tin v one ot the toocaet baBets that
has ever beea prse sated iK a primary
ateeUna. It la eatlnmto by both Cbalr-
soan Oelselman and Secretary Coles that
theS ballot of this year wtn be- at least
elfhteea laches 1 oncer thus any ballot
ever before used in the history of this
county. (
The unusual length of the ballot has
been made necessary because of the
large number of candidates that are
seeking State district and county office
at the hands of the voters. On .the Stale
ticket which includes the presidential
and district electors there will be eighty-
three names while on the county ticket
there will be furty-elgbt names wMca
dees not include candidates for precinct
offices. - The candidates for precinct off
flees of which there are a large number
are not taken into- consideration because
they are not voted upon in every pra
cinct in the county. .
The time for filing applications to be-
come candidates for county and precinct
offices expired at 11. o'clock laat night.
The closing of tue time for filing ap-
plications brought to Hght several new
candidates for different posit ions.
Those candidates who will go to the
primary election without opposition are
L. H. Bailey candOate for State sena-
tor; Clark C. Wren candidate for Judge
of county ooert at law; Charles K. Ashe
candidate for Judge of the Eleventh dis-
trict court; William Jaasterson candidate
for judge of the Fifty-fifth district court;
August Haxthawsen B. A. Calvin and B.
R. Brown candidates for three positions
in the legislature; L. I. Pugh candidate
for county school superintendent. . . .
The only one of the foar candidates
for he legislature with opposition is
John H. Klrby. He is being opposed by
A. H. Layne a lawyer of Houston.
The scramble tor the position of Jus-
tice of the peade of precinct So. U post
tioa No. I was made more Interesting
yesterday when the ninth candidate Al-
bert J. Ooggana banded In bis applica-
tion. In the country several of the Justice
and constable precincts are without can-
didates while the positions of executive
committeemen from a number of pre-
cincts are also Without applicants to be
placed on the official ballot.
County Chairman J. M. Getselman has
two opponents this year In the persons
of A. N. Fitzgerald and R. E. Lwis. The
two last named candidates filed their
applications to be placed on the ballot
with Chairman Gelselman yesterday.
A meeting of the oounty executive
committee will be held Monday morning
at 11 o'clock In the city council chamber
for the purpose of deciding upon the
amount of the assessment to be levied
upon each candidate to defray the ex-
pense of holding the primary election.
. The committee will also determine by
lot the order in which the names ot the
various candidates for State district
county and precinct officers shall appear
on the ticket.
Another thing that the committee win
be called upon to do la to determine
whether the nomination of candidates
shall be by plurality or majority votes.
The committee will estimate ttie cost
of obtaining the supplies and holding the
election and apportion such coat among
the various candidates In euch manner
as Is Just and equitable giving consid-
eration to the Importance and emolu-
ments of the office.
Immediately after deciding upon the
assessment to be levied upon each can-
didate It will become the duty of the
chairman to mail each candidate a state-
ment of the amount of such expense ap-
portioned to him with the request that
he pay the same to the county chairman
on or before the fourth Monday In June.
In no event can more thaa 1 be assessed
against a candidate for a State or dis-
trict office unless the district is compos-
ed of only one county.
The executive committee will also de-
termine the manner In which delegates
to the county convention shall be selected
on primary election day.
The Terrell election law also provides
that there shall be appointed a commit-
tee of five members of the executive
committee to" ue known as the primary
committee which committee will meet on
the second Monday in July to make up
the official ballot and select the election
officers.
W. D'. Moody who has been frequently
mentioned as a possible candidate for the
office of county assessor said last night
that be had decided not to become a
candidate this year but would enter the
race two years hence.

OPINION GIVEN
JUDGE AV DONALD
Season Stated Why Office of Justice
of the Peace Was Not Under
Fee Bill
Considerable Interest has been centered
In the outcome of certain claims advanced
by Harris county against officials in re-
gard to the payment of funds claimed
to have been withheld by the officials
when. In reality they should have been
directed through various channels' Into
the funds of the county. The claim were
not advanced charging the officials with
appropriating the money with malicious
Intent but the fact wee pointed out that
Harris county has for a number of years
been under the fee bill under which act
it is claimed such funds: would; rightfully
be a part of the county- money.
Among these office Is thai of Justice
of the peace of prectnot No. J position
No. 1 which for a number of years was
held by Judge M. McDonald and It was
against him that ttw ohvrm was made.
The fees withheld by him personally and
claimed by the county fund amounts to
about 114.000.
While nu suit has-been brought against
Judge McDonald he eoured from Af-
torney E. T. Branch an opinion on the
law as to whether hi office was under
the practice of the fee bilL
The opinion of Attorney. Branch was
sent to tho department of the attorney
5eneral of the State of1 Texas by Judge
. H. Crooker and has been jreturned.-to
him fully approved! by O. C Funderburk
assistant attorney general.
Attorney Branch la bis opIhloTr stated
that the fee bill appttsds: It Houston. osty
In such- years aa are geeught . within its
provisions on account uf more .than 3009
votds having beesr cast at the next' pre-
ceding city election. Statistics enumer-
ated ln the opinion shots that' the office
of Judge Mi McDonald was not with In the
tee biff since the cHy. election of 104.
