provision of th law.
In the first plar no fee 1 charged.
Where it Is done on petition of th re
quired number of voter, the person him

Is the case with all other offleea. Ftr
thla reason if the proposed candidate for
ny other office doe not dealre to run
he can nealect to accept the filing. In
tha case f presidential preference, how.

tha party who actually file th petition
withdraw It. Und.r the construction of
tha law neither Mr. Roosevelt in the case
of th Yelasr filing, nor Br. Bryan In that
of hi Omaha' admirer a. could withdraw
from th race of hi own motion.
In th Bryan matter another compli

stood that the Falrvlew statesman desires
to be a candidate for delegate-et-lerg to
th national convention. Vnder the
primary law, however, his name cannot
appear twice on th same ticket and n'
case th filing for president Is mad first
ho will b barred from competing for A
