SCRATCHED TICKETN
Candidates Don't Like Idea of
Their Distribution
Unite and Ask Col. Jones to Dis
tribute No More Tickets to Can
didates Until They Them
selves Can Decide What
to Do.
Columbia Record.

Columbia Record.
Chairman Jones, of the State
Democratic executive committee.
announced Saturday that tie sur
plus primary tickets of the com
mittee could be obtained by can
didates, and ut the same time
stated that only the official tick
cts would be counted and that
ticket must contain the names of
all the candidates. He also an
nounced that any candidates who
wanted only his own name to APP
pear for the office to which he as
pired on the ticket could have 1t
so, by taking the official ballot
and scratching the names of the
others. These plans for some
reason do not suit the views of
the candidates and they have tele-
graphed Colonel Jones not to al
low candidates to receive any
more of the official tickets until
they, the candidates, could decide
themselves what should be done
about it in this particular. Colo
mel Jones has followed their ad-
vice. 1t is not clear what the
objection is as to candidates re-
eeiving as many official tickets as
the committee can allow them.
Any candidate is at liberty to
have any number of similar tick
cts printed and distributed ut the
polls. The official ticket may be
of any size or style just so it has
the names of ull candidates print
ed on them, and the only differ
ence in the distribution of the
committed tickets and those of
candidates would be that in the
former case they would get them
free and in the latter they would
have to pay for them themselves.
The objection that candidates
have to allowing candidates to
scratch The names of all other can
didates for particular office ex-
cept their own is also an imprac-
ticable one. They claim that
such scratched tickets would get
mixed up with those not so defac-
ed, and that some voters might be
mlsled by them. AS matter of
fact even If the committee furn-
ished tickets to a candidate, it
would have nothing to do with
the scratching of them. If candi-
dates do not receive committee
tickets they can print official tick
ct of their own and scratch them
and there is no rule to prevent
them scratching names on the
tickets before they are out. The
managers of election have to count
all official ballots, however scratch
cd and there is no rule to prevent
any number of such tickets being
presented to voters at the polls
So if scratched tickets will confuse
some voters there l.. no wav to
prevent their use, and the only
way to obvlate the difficulty would
be for all candidates to send out
scratched tickets, but according
to their own belief that would
make confusion worse confound-
ed.

''lreland for many hundreds of

and oppression. The story of
wrongs, tyranny, murders and
infamies are all embraced in the
story of England's domination.
1t Is not proper or permissible
under the laws of this country to
hatch plots against England, but

in self-government for Ireland.

"We recently had deMonstra-

Windmill Irrigation.

The possibility of well and windmill
irrigation on the eastern slope of Colo
RADIO has been demonstrated by William
t. Lambert, who has successfully grown
trees by means OF a system of sub-irriga-
ton from one well. The water is con-
veyed to the trees by means of iron pipes
over nine miles being laid on the ranch.
The method of irrigation is to give the
trees the proper amount of water by
means of hypodermic injection into
the soil at its roots, SO that none Of the
moisture is lost. The method has prov
en- a wonderful success in producing
healthful trees with rich foliage and an
abundant yield Of fruit. The orchard
comprises apples, plums and cherries.
