585 to This Date
With the dead line on candi-

stat1 ballot in the coming pri-
mary six days off, the names of
585 aspirants for the honors of
public office had been recorded;
in the office of Secretary Joseph j
Morris of the state election board
up to Wednesday night.
Of this number 343 are demo-
crates, 125 are socialists, 67 are
republicans, 46 progressives,
and 4 independents. It is ex-
pected that this number will be
materially increased during the
last few days of the time alloted
for filing, at least that has been
the rule in other years. Many
candidates, for reasons entirely
satisfactory to themselves, with-
hold their filipgl until the eleven
eth hour.
The office of lieutenant gover-
nor is the most popular office to
be filled if the number of names
already filed is an indication.
There are ten democrat, two pro
greSsive and one socialist aspir
ants for that pldce, which is the
largest number yet filed for any
office on the state ballot.
