Some interesting primaries will be held
in the Ninth Ward on Wednesday even
ing, when eleven Republican committee
men will be chosen at separate primaries
Four are to be selected in the First Pre-
cinct. two in the third, two in the fourth,
two in the fifth and one in the seventh.
There will be hot contests at each polling
place, but in spite of this the ringsters
hope to elect eight of the eleven.
Tt is quite likely that John P. Mouncey,
who was thrown out of the Republican
County Committee on charges Of dis
loyalty. will run in the Seventh precinct.
If he does, his election is assured. And
then their will doubtless be row as to
his eligibility. Then too, Mr.. John p.
Iandrine may take it into his head to
run, and he too will unuestionably win.
fight will be made to keep Mr. Landrine
out Of the County Committee and the
