Pretended Primaries Were q Failure
in Dickinson.
From Tuesdays Daily. I

lrrom tuesdays DAILY
Probably the tamest political effort
the county ever saw was the "pri.
mary" called to give Judge Dickerson,
who was beaten in the regular pri.
mary and convention, "another
chance" In probably two-thirds Of
the precincts OF the county no pri-
mary was held. In Abilene the at.
tendance was but a handful.
As none but Judge Dickerson's
friends attended anywhere in the dis
trict bis minority support is made
the more noticeable. There are about
5000 Republican voters in the dis
triot outside Of Marion county. It Is
doubtful IL he gets 800 Of them. In
Marion the county convention pri-
maries are held today also County
convention at home you seeD and the
vote will be larger there proportion.
ately.
At $3.50 the vote in the several
wards was: lst ward, /; End, 8; Srd,
Z; 4th, s. The ticket contains only
one name, that Of Dlckerson. 1t has
also the names OF j. R. Van Voolst,
j. H. Page aud d. D. Nuss for COM
The call for the "primary" as issued
by the ex-Chairman Wheeler says the
primaries shall be held sin the usual
voting Places In Abilene this was
not done except possibly in the First
ward where the Smith hall was used.

Senator Burton Closed His Office on
Saturday.

A Washington dispatch Of Sunday
says: "Senator Burton closed his
office in the senate annex Saturday.
His private secretary, Colonel W. ".
Smith, and stenogrspher, Miss Clin'
ton, will both leave for their homes
in Topeka Monday. The senator and
Mrs. Burton will probably not leave
for Abilene before the latter part Of
the week.
"Gov. Bailey is here to try, to get
the senate to expel Mr.. Burton. II
this is Bailey's program he is greatly
misled as to the actual status OF the
Burton case. As has been heretofore
stated in this paper, the senate as
body, or the senators individually,
have not discussed the matter.
Furthermore, no action has been pro-
posed or Is expected to be taken con-
cerning Bnrton's seat until his case
has been decided In the court of last
resort He will not resign or be asked
to resign until he has exhausted the
last chance to save his name and
honor.
"As there is agroWiDg belief among
the lawyers Of both houses OF con-
gress that Senator Burton will get =
rehesring, It is not likely that Gov.
srnOr Bailey VIII receive any snOOur-
In his proposed sffOrts."
