THE PRIMARIES.
A Small Vote Indicated in the Contest
Between Republicans

Between Republicans
The Republican primary will be held
tomorrow to nominate county officers
The polling places will be open at p.
m. in the city and close at six. In the
country the polls will open at o'clock
in the afternoon and close at seven.
Although there is considerable excite
ment the politicians all admit that the
vote will be light. Chairman Arthur
Capper said today that the total vote
cast in the county will be in the neigh
borhood of $500, which is a very small
vote.
The voting will be by the Crawford
county system and the Australian bal
lot. The fxers overturned the CraW-
ford county system of making nominal
tiOns but the people would not stand
any retrOgression and the central COM
mittee was compelled to reconsider the
matter.
The fight for probate judge is be-
tween L. S. DOlman, who defeated J. 6.
Wood for a second term two years ago.
and John L. Guy, who is now trying
the same thing on DOlman in an effort
to defeat him for a second term. The
fight is an interesting one.
There are two candidates for the
nomination for county attorney, the
fight being clearly on the prohibition
issue. Aaron JetmOre, who has served
one term is asking for denomination
and his opponent is H. G. Larimer.
Though the prohibition issue is the
principal one in the fight there are
those who do not like the course pur-
will not support Mr.. Larimer because
he is considered too radical and too
pugnaciOus Mr.. JetmOre is cOnsidera-
bly, frightened for the Larimer forces
have gathered strength during the past
week Mr.. Jetmore is working the cam
paign on his experience and successful
suits. declaring that he has saved the
county his salary several times over
in his fight against the fee grabberS.
He combats the prohibition voter with
the declaration that out of sixteen Ii
quOr cases in the present term he has
only lost one by an acqu1ttaL
DR. A NJ. Callahan and SHELF Cur
tbs are the candidates for district clerk
and the fight is admitted to be close by
adherents of both men.
J. w. Stout has no opposition for re-
nomination as superintendent of public
instruction.
Major T J. Anderson and T. A. Nc
Neal are the candidates for state Sena-
tor and the prohibition issue cuts more
or less figure in the fight. Dave Null
vane is Major Anderson's hacker and
the Burton senatorial aspiration is be-
ing used against Major Anderson He
says that he has made no promises to
any one but the politicians claim that
behind the support of Dave Mulvane is
a vote for Burton for United States
senator
Scott Kelsey and George A. Ander-
son are fighting for the position of
county commissioner in the country
district. Both are prosperous farmers
and Mr.. Kelsey has just completed his
first term and made GOOD business
like commissioner.
There is only one contest for the
nomination of representatives Colonel
George w. Veale and eX-COuncilman
w. c. Stephenson and the candidates
in the district which comprises the First
and Second wards, Oakland and Te-.
cumseh
e. D. NcKeever has no opposition in
the city district and Representative

nominated.
