fcer Zimmerman Wednesday evening
and is being held on suspicion of be-
ing connected with the burglary at the
residence of John Bederman Tuesday

REPUBLICAN
PRIMARIES
Lively Time Ezpected-Catron Faction
Trying to Garry Them With Doodle,
Bulldozing and Democratic Votes
Honest Republicans Are
on the Alert.

The Republican primaries set for Fri
day evening are expected to be very
lively affairs. The Catron faction is
desperate and determined to win. Its
| Doodle has made its appearance. In ad
dition to using Doodle, the bosses oi
that faction have other plans, which
they expect to carry into effect in order
! to be successful. One of them is that
citizens, who are Democrats and have
never voted the Republican ticket and
who do not propose to vote it at the
coming election, are to be forced into
the primaries for given consideration
and are to vote to elect the Catron
faction delegates to the county conven-
tion. In other precincts, where that
faction has the precinct chairmen, the
latter are to hold on to their positions
regardless of a majority of votes and to
declare their side the winner under any
and all circumstances. The rules pre-
scribed by the county committee in the
conduct of the primaries are to be dis
regarded whenever and wherever 1t
Al. Il at 20
one precinct chairman has stated openly
that he would carry his precinct, If
necessary, at the point of the pistol.
The decent and respectable Republicans
all ever the county, however, are. de-
termined to see fair play and will not
stand being trampled upon by such
methods. They ask nothing but fair
play, and orderly and pcacably con-
Quoted primaries. Democrats, who have
never before voted the Republican ticket
and who do not propose to do so here
after, will not be allowed to take part
in the primaries. 1t is expected to have
peace officers present in such precincts
where it is understood the Catron fac
ton precinct chairmen propose to act
in high handed, bulldozing and unlaw-
full manner.
