There is considerable turmoil in the
democratic party of the city Of Anaconda
which holds it's primaries tonight in the
several wards for the election of dele
gates and ]alternates to the city V
ton next Monday. Down in the fifth
and sixth wards there is old Cain to pay
over the selection of delegates. In the
fifth ward there were three sets of tick
cts put up. The men who failed to get
elected on the first tickle put up another
and their names appear on that one.
There were some who did not get on ell
Their ticket and they put up a third one
and will come before the democratic Vot-

office four years and that is long enough
