IL IL feared. will overshadow the coun
ty nominations and imperil the machine
plans for running the county conven-

II the machine wins the gubernatoral
fight Of course its delegates will carry
out their orders in the county conven-

Carter carries the county? That Is the
question which worries the political
slatcmakers. The anti-machinc cam
ptigu has not been planned this far
ahead yet. but the assertion Is made
that Il the State delegates elected May

local offices. The main purpose of the
fight which Judge Carter Is leading Is to
give the voters of the party the chance
TO express their choice and rebuke the
machine cotere which attempts to de

primaries. Up TO date the Carter move

plaintive whine of the bosses that they

should stick to the machine out of graf.

friends stood firm. however. and in the
end tho machine men now In power con-
scented to place him on the ticket. In
1S9S the managers were compelled to
renominate him because he had made so
good record. Judge Carter did not
want a second term. but accepted the
nomination which his friends had to
fight so hard for four years back. This
being the case. 1t sounds strange for
the politicians to now call Carter one
of the machine and reproach him for
