laborites Call a Convention for Sat.
urday to Nominate a cand.
date for Senator.
THE FINE HAND OF HElNzE
Democrats Will Nominate Anyone
Who viii Accept and Put up
the Necessary Dough.
labor Convention.

The local labor party will hold pri-
maries tomorrow for the purpose of
electing delegates to attend the coun-
ty labor convention, which will take
place on Saturday at 1000 a. m. Sew
en- delegates will be elected in Lew
istown, eight in Kendall, seven in
Gilt Edge. two in New Year and two
in Maiden, and one in every other
precinct to be represented in the
county.
The purpose of the convention, ac.
cording to the labor leaders, is to
nominate state senator. If the Dem
ocratic party does not accept the die
tation OF the labor party and endorse
their nominee, then an independent
labor ticket will se launched. The
nominee will in all probability be
Robert Hendry or John Alexander.
Democratic Convention.
The Democratic convention will be
held at the court house on Saturday.
Very little can be learned about the
proposed ticket and the wheel horses
OF the party are at their wits end
to secure candidates for nomination.
David Hilger was to have been Civ.
en- the nomination for state senator
but 1t Is very probable that he will
be side-tracked for the nominee of
the laborites in wild endeavor to
secure the support of the labor party
for the rest OF the ticket w. Il. Cort
has been asked to accept the nomina-
ton for county attorney; Mr.. Cort
has been there before and is not very
enthusiastic. F. J. Hazen of Gilt
Edge has been offered the nomina-
tion for clerk and recorder and Frank
Pick, who has had misfortune enough
for one man, will be landed on the
rocks by being given the nomination
for assessor. Len Slater and Tirnan
Tullock are both working for the sher-
III nomination, while Miss Meyersick
will be run for county superintendent
of schools. 1t is very probable that
clash between local factions of the
party will take place at the conven-
tion and some interesting develop
ments are looked for.
Democratic Primaries.
There were two tickets at the Dem
ocratic primaries on Saturday even
ing and the voting showed that not
much interest was taken in the pro-
ceedings. Seventy-one votes were
cast in Lewistown, while only twenty
were recorded in the precinct east Of
the river.
The following delegates were elect
ed to attend the Democratic county
convention next Saturday:
West Lewistown-David Hilger, w.
f. Cort, John Laux. James Weaver,

Hughes and A. j. Johnson.
Alternates-J. |. Corbly. Walter
Knight, r. G.. Jackson, J. s. Hovis
and Dan McLachlan.

been evinced in the matter in outside
precincts and only the following have
been heard from so far:

bons, N. ]. Littlejohn. William Flan-
igan. Robert Mungall. Robert Cooper
