The notice outlines weekly publication, editor J C Wilkerson, and subscription rates of 2.00 per year in Comanche County and rural routes, 2.60 elsewhere in Texas, 2.75 out of state, with a minimum subscription of 1.00.
The first primary since 1918 in Comanche County nominating all local offices resulted in only two candidates for most contests. In Constable Precinct No. 5 De Leon three ran, but incumbent Charlie Rich won with 626 votes. New officers include Azalea as County Treasurer, George Goosby for Tax Assessor-Collector, and Alton Kirkland for County Judge, previously District Clerk.
The article reviews historical Texas primary voting patterns from 1906 to 1920, noting shifts from plurality nominations to runoffs, details major races including sheriff and tax assessor races, and cites early women voters in 1918. It also excerpts a Comanche personal letter urging locals to spend at home and support local merchants.
