of county. township and legislative officers
in Marion county Will take place next
Friday and the interest In the contest is
growing more intense as the date ap-
~proaches. Perhaps no like contest has
attracted as much attention in this county
for years. The nominations will be made
under the Joss primary law. The polls
will be open from II o'clock in the morn
ing until s in the evening. Within a day
or two Chairman Elliott, of the County
Republican committee, will announce the
list of voting places.
The approaching contest has been unu-
sually lively from the fact that the Joss
law does away with the delegate conven-
ton and allows the voters TO make the
nominations direct. Instead Of each can
didate seeing the few hundred delegates
that are usually selected TO a convention
he finds it necessary to go over the county
and see as many voters as he can. In
fact, as one man recently expressed il, it
behooves each candidate to build up a sort
of machine of his own. So sharp has the
contest become between the different can
didates that some are announcing them
selves in large type in the city newspa-
pers. Some are taking advantage of street.
car advertising and it is not unusual TO see
a candidates card printed in large type
and displayed in street cars. 1t is esti-
mated that the candidates are spending
large sums of money in their eagerness
TO win.
The question of nominating the joint leg
islative candidates is to be finally settled
by the Supreme Court. The lower court
has practically held that the names of
joint legislative candidates have no place
on the ticket to be voted for next Friday.
Proceeding on the theory that the Supreme
Court will sustain the lower court, Chair
man Elliott, as soon as Fridays primaries
are out OF the way, Will confer with the
election officers of Hancock and Morgan
counties In regard to the joint legislative
nominations which it is presumed will be
made in delegate convention. The Han
cock and Morgan county people, il is un-
derstood, are disposed to have a late con-
Vent1on. 1t is the understanding that Han
cock county will be allowed to name the
joint representative. For joint senator
from Marion and Morgan counties there
are several candidates. J. "A. Minturn,
William i. Reagan. Linton A. Cox and
Larz a. Whitcomb are all candidates.
