The adoption of a schedule of as? sessments to be levied on the candi? dates for the purpose of raising funds to pay the expenses of the primary elections was given serious consider? ation and discussed at length. The following assessments were tentatively suggested: Sheriff, $75; Clerk, $76; Supervisor, $40; Auditor. $40; Treas? urer, $40; Coroner, $15; House of Representative $25; Magistrate. 1st, 2nd and 7th districts. $5; Magistrate, 3rd district, $15; Magistrate, 4th dis? trict, $6; Magistrate. 5th district, $10; Magistrate. 6th district. $7.50. After further discussion, on motion of Mr. C. M. Emanuel. a resolution was adopted adding ten per cent. (10) to the suggested schedule of assess? ments and the asessments were fixed as follows: Sheriff. $82.(0. Clerk of Court, $82.50. Supervisor, $44.00. Auditor, $44.00. Treasurer, $44.00. Coroner. $16.60. I House of Representatives, $27.50. Magistrate, District 1, $5.60. Magistrate, District 2, $5.50. Magistrate, District 3, $16.50. Magistrate, District 4, $6.60. Magistrate, District 5, $11.00. Magistrate, District 6, $8.26. Magistrate, District 7, $5.50. A resolution was adopted requiring candidates to file the usual pledge and pay the assessment fixed by the Coun? ty Democratic Committee on or before 12 o'clock, noon, of Wednesday, Aug? ust 2nd, the day preceding the first campaign meeting. The new rules require the ap? pointment of three managers and a clerk for each precinct in the primary election, and the pay of the managers was the subject of discussion. Here* to?ore the rules have not required three managers and a clerk and it has been the custom for one of the man? agers to act as clerk, therefore it has been necessary to pay only three managers.' The estimate of the prob? able expenses of the primary having been based upon paying only three menagers at each club at the rate of $1.00 por day and mileage to one manager who comes for and returns the election boxes, it was found that either the assessments would have to be increased or the pay of managers reduced. After considerable discus? sion it was decided, on the motion of Mr. C. M. Emanuel, to pay $3 for managers and clerk at each precinct for each primary, and to allow the j usual mileage to the manager who comes for and returns the election boxes. This resolution was adopted i by a Vote of 13 to' 6. The Secretary and Treasurer was instructed to settle on the best terms obtainable out of the small bal? ance of money brought over fron*, he last election and such other func as may be available after the expenses of the present campaign shall have been paid, the printing and advertising ac counts brought over from the cam? paign of 1910, now due Knight Bros, and Osteen Publishing Co. The managers of election were appointed on the recommendation of the Executive Commltteemen pres? ent, and it was further provided that the clubs not represented be permit? ted to send in to County Chairman J. H. Clifton their recommendations for managers at their earliest convenience and that the County Chairman be di? rected to prepare and publish the regular notice of primary election, not less than two weeks before the first primary.' The new,club roll books for the new enrollment of club members, which roll books are. under the primary election law, the poll list for tlic* pri? mary election, were given out by the County Chairman. The clubs that did not,reeclve roll books at this meeting can > obtain same by applying to the County Chairman. The committee then adjourned, sub? ject to the call of the County Chair? man.
