The Republican and Dem
OCrdtiC Parties Will En-
tertdin at the Same
Place.
Friday Afternoon and Even
ing. March 20.
Municipal and Township Prima-
rieS VIII Be Conducted at the
Same Places But BY Diff
ferent judges,

The Republican and Democratic
Committees for Lake Township and
Bellefontaine met Friday evening,
and agreed to hold the Spring pri-
maries for the nominations of city
and township officers at the same
time and places. The time will be
FRIDAY, MARCH 20.
In the afternoon of that day the
two precincts outside the city, North
and South precincts of Lake township
will hold their primaries in the Court
house. Beginning at and continu.
ing until s the five other precincts of
the city will hold their primaries in
the respective precincts, At each
polling place there will be set of
Democratic judges and clerks, a set
of Republican judges and clerks and a
ballot box for each party, When an
elector wants to cast his ballot he
goes to the polls, selects the ticket
of either party. marks it and deposits
it in the box.
The names of the candidates who
are going to run, must be handed in
to the respective committees by Fri
day, March IL, so that the tickets
may be made up and printed in time.
The object for holding the prima-
ries of the two parties at the same
time is to prevent men voting at
both primaries. If candidates are
not careful it will result only in
an increased vote at. the Re-
publican primary, and a correspond
ing loss at the Democratic primary.
Candidates who want fair election,
will do we'll to stand at the polls or
have their friends there to see that
no Republican or Democrat loses his
vote by a mistake, and to see that no
Democrat helps in the work of max
ing the Republican nominations.
There are frequently Republican can
didates who would be glad to have
their Democratic friends help them
out. And when they come to the
same place to vote, there will be
a great temptation for some Demo-
gratis to vote with the crowd.
