Voted For Shaw.

notwithstanding two kilograms were
received from James G.. Shaw, Jr, an
nouncing that he was not a candidate
for Representative, his name was con-
tinued on the ticket and he received al
most the entire strength of the vote.
Many of Mr.. Shaw's friends still cling
to the belief that the kilograms re-
ceived were not sent by him. but are
the work of some person or persons
who desired to injure his chances at
the polls. This belief is strengthened
they claim, by the fact that neither the
county committee nor Mr.. Shaws
father nor any OF his friends We're in
formed OF his Intention Of stepping
aside. James q. Shaw, Sr., said yes
| terday that he had heard nothing from
| his son on the subject and that all he
knew was what he had seen in the
papers. He did not know when his son
would return to his home. He is at
present visiting friends in New York
State.

been willing to stand for nomination.
1t is believed that on his return he
will insist on his name being taken of
the ticket.
Notwithstanding that leaders i'm the
party here claim that .he smallness of
the vote was because there was no op-
position to the ticket. wiser ones point
to the fact that there was strong oppo-
sition within the ranks. not to the can
diGates. because the party was forced
Into holding primaries on Saturday by

primaries. Many openly declare
their disgust ar the proceedings and ex-
press a doubt that If the ticket stands

up of the element who are at the beck
and call of Addicksism but are those
