WANT HOURS CHANGED.
Local Democrats Discussing the Time
Allowed for Casting Votes.

Notwithstanding the fact that the demo-
cratic primary elections commission has
announced it's recent decision as final, many
local democrats are discussing the hours
for voting, set by the commission at from
o'clock to 10 o'clock p.rp., May 5. 1t is
understood there is considerable sentiment
in favor of closing the polls earlier, the
argument being that voters will have less
time to loiter around the polls, and con-
sequently the election will be freer from
rowdyism and unfairness This sentiment
is particularly strong in the camp of Mr.
James l.. Norris and his friends say they
are perfectly willing to have the polls open
all day, from am. to pm, but they
think 10 o'clock in the evening is entirely
too late for an honest vote.
On the other hand, the friends of Mr..
Hearst are perfectly satisfied, claiming that
as most of Mr.. Hearst's supporters are
workingmen, they will require the longer
hours. One of the leaders of the Hearst
forces said today that the workngman has
to work late as rule, and by the time he
gets home, has his dinner and is prepared
to go to the polls it is o'clock. 1t Is claim
ed by this faction that if shorter hours
were adopted the workingmens vote would
be diminished nearly 80 per cent. 1t is diff
ficult to see, however. what good this agi-
tation or discussion is going to do at this
elections commission announced its decision
as final and unalterable.
Contrary to a statement published today,
the Norris democrats have not completed
their list of names to be submitted to the
primary elections commission as candi-
dates for judges in each of the twenty-five
legislative districts. These names must be
In the hands of the commission by next
Saturday, when the members of the COM
mission will meet and the selections will be
announced as soon thereafter as possible.
1t was stated this morning that the judges
will be given the option of selecting polling
places upon the theory that they are best
acquainted with the conditions in their re-
spective districts.
The Hearst people anticipate an immense
crowd at their mass meeting to be held
this evening at Maccabee's Temple Glib
9th street northwest Another mass meet
ing will be held tomorrow in Northeast

at which addresses will be made by many
prominent politicians

as to make fraud and corruption impossi-

Is there any consideration which would

the feelings of some who are going to

The School Situation.

It was announced early this week that the Nogales schools would close the present school year on Friday. March twenty fifth, making seven instead of nine months term which had been hoped for.
 This step is necessitated owing to the lack of sufficient funds necessary for carrying on the school for the other two months. It was feared at one time that but a six months term could be held but the Territorial appropriation for schools wa. sufficient to meet the expense of running for the pre- sent month.
 County Superintendent of Schools w. o. O'Connor, in making his estimate as to the amount neces- sary for a nine months term, re- quested the Board of Supervisors for a larger appropriation than was granted, it being the desire of the Board to make the tax rate as low as possible, and school tax of fifty cents on the hundred dollars was levied, this being the minimum allowable under the law. If the taxes had all been paid there would have been nearly enough funds in the treasury to complete the full term but the delinquency tax list is unusually large this year. which is one of the principal reasons for the shortening of the regular term.

whether General Kuropatkin viii be aole

opinion is that General Kuropatkin's po-
sition is most perilous.
The absence of kilograms from Lao

railway is interrupted, the newspapers
regard as showing that General Kuropat-
kin has begun his retreat too lac.
