POLITICAL FREE FOR ALL
THE ENTRIES FoR THE LEGfSLAF.
I'VE RACE WAITING THE WORD.

Com btnatioaS All ArOunQ-Tne FRO
sranme Of the Primaries-Who May
Vote and Who May Not.
The great political running race between
the legislative candidates of Chaths N
county takes place to-day. The candidates
are stripped and ready. They have been
Rroomed and coached by their aids until
there is now no longer a spot in their polit-
ioal coats that has not been polished until
it shines like new made brass
Mai Ryals, it will be readily seen, car
ries more weight than any Of the other cam
didates His handicap in the shape OF a
record is to some fully equal 70 that OF his
physical avoirdupois. At the same time it
may be said that from strength and ex-
perieuce he is better able TO carry this extra
burden than any OF them.
SOME OF THE COMBINATIONS.
Some Of the candidates will run in pairs
and me in triplets and others independ-
emily. Guerard, Osborne and Doolan wish
it understood that they will not be driven
as a political three in hand to Col Waring
Russelrs chariot but that they will take a
lift from every friend or any other man that
Is able and willing to give it 1t is
doubtful il the political harness
with which it has been sndeavored
to unite Ryals and Gearon will hold To-
gether very long. This, however, depends
upon their coachers and NOS upon the
racers. Schley will sing Ie-foot il without
any combination, with the expectation OF
taking a place in the list of winners il the
favorites get tangled up in che harness,
OUT OF THE PRIMARIES.
Winkers has been withdrawn from to-
days race, but will run in tine political
handicap this fall. He desires to say 70 his
friends that he will noE permit his name 60
go before the primaries. He does not ap-
prove of the primary system nor OF the
manner in which the primaries are con-
Quoted. He proposes co run as an indie
pendent candidate.
Garland NJ. Ryals, Richard D. GusrArd,
William W. Osborne, Joseph J. DoolAn,
Patrick II. GearOn and John Sullivan
Schley are the six candidates from which
three representatives are 70 be placed in
nomination at the general election is fall.
The question for the voters to decide Is
which three out these six shall
receive this honor, with the
almost certain guarantee OF election. While
with one exception the oand dates are with
out experience in legislative affairs, one
thing can be considered assured, and that 10
no matter which three receive the homo OF
nomination and election Chatham co unity
will be faithfully represented In the next
general assembly.

GOVERNMENT OF THE PRIMARIES
The election will be conducted In Accord
ance with the state law eTning
primaries and the rule of the party adopted
by the executive committee. both OF which
were published In yesterdays MORNING
News.
Another matter Of Importance upon
which Chairman Charlton delivered an
opinion at the request Of the MORNING
NEWS yesterday is the voting of minors or
persons who have come Of age since the
last election. The OPTION has
been expressed by some that any
person who has come OF age sihce the last
election, having never cast a vote, has the
right to vote whether he has registered or
not Chairman Charlton distiu city said
that Only young men who have come Of age
since the registration closed, June 6, have
the right to vote without being registered.
1t is the privilege and right OF all voters
coming of age since the last election to
register. Some, however, failed TO do so,
being under the impression that having
no poll tax to pay for the
first year after coming of age they were not
required to register, mistake which will
cost them their votes.
The election managers may be placed In a
serious dilemma to-day by the failure to
publish the county registration lists Of the
last registration as 1t was understood would
be done, Unless the managers secure cop
les of the registration lists there will be no
way Of deciding upon a voters right
to vote except by applying the oath when
his qualification is contested. Shrewd
workers In the interest of various caudi-
dates secured copies Of the registration
lists for the various districts last week, and
many of them were busy yesterday check
ing off the names Of voters whose molina
lions they know, and also the names of
those who we're likely not TO vote or who
are absent from the city. This has caused
the prediction by some that every registered
name will be voted to-day, whether les
owner puts in an appearance or not. The
managers win have to look out for this to-
day. Notwithstanding the precautions
taken and the penalties provided for in
fringeme Is OF the law, there is
little doubt that there will be attempts
on the part OF few INSCRIPTIONS partisans
to increase the vote OF their favorites by
any means.
The chief incentive to the managers, who
are also the district commit eemen, 70 pre-
vent fraud of any kind should be tue fact
