Seven Of the survivors, consisting Of one pas

TIE primaries for the First Congressional
District Convention have been called for next
Saturday. The notice is unprecedentedly Snort
The primaries Of the Second and Third Districts
are to be held on the samo day. But the Third
District Committee. fired the date eleven days
ago, and the Second District COMMITTEES i've
days ago. There Was much dissatisfaction OF the
short notice given in the Second District hut
the action OF the Committee In that district was
irreproachable in comparison with that OF the
First District Committee The people IN Du
Page County and the country towns cannot be
informed Of the cali before Tuesday. and there
will then be but four days for preparation. 1t
is understood that snap judgment Is sought to
be taken in the First District In the In
tcrest OF a certain candidate. He Is not the
most desirable candidates; but 1t might
be said, II be obtained the nom
alton IN fair and honorable way, that he was
entitled to the support Of every good hepaolo-
an. Whether this shall be said or not after the
Convention, it is certain that be will not CON-
n,and the full party vote II nom.nated by
trick. It is altogether Improbable that he will
benefit, as he expects to do. by the sharp Prao-
tice OF his friends. The people do not Like snap
primaries. This was demonstrated only few
months ago. The person In whose interest such
measures are taken Is the one who most con-
spIcuously deserves to be beaten in the Conven-
ton. There is time yet for the people OF the
First District to defeat the schemes vi tho pestl-
lent political clique VIII 'se candidste this man
is- Quick and thorough organization wlli do It.
Attendance upon the primaries will do it. But
useless lamcntlng and recrlminat1on will not do
it. The Republican party cannot afford to take
the great risks which the nomination Of an i'm
proper candidate would involve. Good Repub-
lcAns In the First District must give some u me
to their country between this and Saturday.

about the 900 names which were added to the
Chicago lists this year, So the allegation Of
fraud extend only to 5000 names. It Is an alb
surd and ridiculous charge. If it were true, St.

would the count stand with 50, Goo names knocked
