The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-08-28

There are 154 names on the Ramsey
county primary election ticket
which is now in the hands
of the printer. From that
ticket, which will be posted Sept. 2,
will be selected the respective party
nominees for thirty-four county offices,
including the legislative officers.
SiXty-five of the 154 aspirants are
Democrats.
The last day for the reception of fl
ingS was not a record breaker. The
uncertainty of the legality of filings
made on the 9th had it's influence and
contrary to expectations only ten
candidates left their names and fees
with the county auditor. The little
clash of opinion between County At
torney Kane and Deputy Auditor KEEL
lar touching the legality of filings re-
ceived yesterday came up several
times and several candidates required
considerable urging before they con-
scented to deposit their $40, believing
that if their filings were disputed and
proved illegal they could not get their
money back.
No Office Neglected.
No office is left without seekers and
only one or two without aspirants on
both sides of the political fence. Sena-
tor Clapp is supposed to have taken
hand in matters pertaining to the
legislative tickets and to be RESPONSE
bic for the brace which resulted in fill
Ing a Republican in every senatorial
and legislative district.
No Democrats filed for senator in
the Thirty-third or Thirty-seventh
districts. The Democrats presented
no candidate for county superinten-
dent of schools and only one for coun-
ty commissioner in the country dis
tricts. The county commissioners
berths are the places most sought and
total of forty-six candidates have
hled. There is an even break as to
party complexion, twenty-three Demo-
Gratis and twenty-three Republicans
filing.
Disappointment Will Go Around.
The Republicans will make six nomi-
hauons ana the Democrats five, which
leaves net total of forty-five to be
disappointed at the primary election
and half-dozen more to fall by the
RaySlde at the regular election
Briefly summarized, the party divi-
sion of the candidates for the several
offices is as follows: Judge of the dis
rict court, Democrats and Repub-
hcans; judge of probate, Democrats,
Republicans; treasurer, 1 Democrat,
Republicans; auditor, 2 Democrats, 3

court, Democrats, 8 Republicans;

s1oner, % Democrats, % Republicans.
All Corners Accommodated.
There was no attempt to dispute the
legality of any filing yesterday, and
the auditors office, true to it's an
nounced plan, received certificates Of
candidacy up to 8 o'clock, at close of
business. Deputy Drummond further
gave notice that if any candidates
wished to file up to midnight he would
be at their service and would accept
their afidavits and fees. At midnight
last night the primary ticket was
closed, and until it is posted, Sept. 2, or
fourteen days prior to the primary
section, as required by law, there can
ve no changes made on it.
The county auditor holds that after
the ticket is posted candidates may
get on by petition, up to reasonable
lime before the primary election,
slight reservation being necessary for
the printers accommodation. After
Sept. 16, candidates may be placed on
the ticket by the party committees
nominating to vacancies, if any occur,
Or they may be put on as independent
candidates by petition; but no voter
participating in the primary election
may sign an independent candidates
petition. Until after the primary cleo
ton, no candidate now on the ticket
will be allowed to withdraw his name
After the primaries he may withdraw
by affidavit.
