BOSSES CO.'S rHRoUeH WITHOUT DEPOSITION Bur A
moCratic primaries were held

The DemoTatic primaries were held
last night. They were without event ex-
ccpt the lack OF interest manifest and
the light attendance. The proceedings
were cut and dried and the bosses were
much in evidence. There were strong in
dieations that everything had been fixed
in advance and the slate made up. The
plan mapped otu was g1efaIy.;earriea

lows:
First wafd2Jeferson bradford.
Second ward=IoLn I..AioSaaier.
Third ward-Temp Bryan.
Fourth waa-John shnn.
Fifth ward-w. S. Law.
In the First ward there was strong
disposition on the part Of the free-thinI;-
ing element Of the Democratic party to
endorse Michael j. AIcAndrew, the Re-
publican nominee. but the convention had
been packed by the party bosses and
Bradford, the labor nominee, was en-
dorsed. Mc.Andrew received nearly half
the vote, however. and will receive them
at the polls. or We miss our guess.
The convention in the Second ward was
especially tame. There were not more
than half a dozen persons in attendance,
and for a while 1t was thought the con-
vention would be abandoned. but a few
of the faithful finally gathered and for
mally carried out the program rs slated
by the bosses.
The Third ward fellows also had it
cut and dried. and two or three persons
got their heads together and saw that
tie slate was endorsed. It had been ar
ranged before hand to endorse Bryan,
the labor nominee, and no time was lost
in doing 50.
in the Fourth l''ward 4 numbered we'll
meaning Democrats thought that 4. X.
Thorn ought to be endorsed, but they
asccrtained from the conditions prevail
ing before the convention met that it
would be useless TO mention his name
al the convention and the slate was car
ried out to the letter. That is the rca-
son John Shinn was endorsed not that
the party in general wanted him, but
because the bosses had sent out the

The Fifth ward Democratic politicians.
who profess 10 be -Visc, said they did
not want the Rcpublieans to5stcal their
thu-der. but just, what they. meant by
that no one really knows, and so they
endorsed W. S. Law. the Republican nom
inec. That was one time they did right
They are unwilling to admit, though
that they endorsed him and make the
contention that they nominated him.
