 There seemed no great degree of interest
 manifested in the democratic primaries Tuesday evening. The report that there would be an opposition ticket in both the Eleventh and Twelfth wards of factions op- posed to the plan for direct primaries, Gid

Since the new registry law went into effect the interest ln the primaries does not seem to be of the old time enthusiasm. 1t now remains for the republicans to see what they can do at their primaries Whether they will be able to awaken more Interest than was mani rest Tuesday evening remains to be seen.
