REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES.

The republican city primaries
were held last Monday in our city
aud resulted in the following
nominations:
Mayor-George Mattern.
City Treasurer-Harry Gross.
City Auditor-John B. Lucus.
City Solicitor-W. H. Bremner.
Police Judge-W. r. Iris.
City Surveyor-John Budd.
City Assessor-(goes into the
convention.
Alderman. at-large( (West Side)
L. C. Switzerland.
Alderman-at-large for East
Side will be settled to-day,
as the ballots of 3rd precinct,
and 9th ward were stolen.
Aldermen:
First Ward-Joe Myrely.
Second Ward-A. L. Smith.
Third Ward-Ed Higgins.
Fourth Ward-Eugene Van
Dyke.
Fifth Ward-C. C. Christy.
Sixth Ward-(settled today
Seventh Ward-(goes into con-
vention Saturday.
Thus Monday ended one Of the
most exciting contest in The local
city politics for mayor, and the
debuching, humiliating and i'm
moral methods practiced was
enough to disgust all good citi-
sens. The stealing Of the ballots
in one Of the East Side precincts
simply adds another degree in the
long chapter of unfair methods
and ballot frauds.
We are becoming close imita-
tors of the Kentucky and South
Carolina methods of elections.
Shame, shame, on such men who
practice them. The scorn and
condemnation Of all good and
honest citizens should cry out
against such fragrant wrongs
psacticed in our city primaries.

Bryan has given out a statement. in
which he says to begin with: L shall
vote for Parker and Davis, the NOM

First - Because the Democratic
ticket stands for opposition to imper-
ialism, while the Republican ticket
stands for an imperialistic policy. On
this issue the convention
was unanimous, the platform en-
phatic, and l have no doubt that the
candidate will carry out the platform,
Objections to Roosevelt.
"Second-Mr. Roosevelt is injecting
the race issue into American politics,
and this issue, if it becomes national

Third = Mr.. Roosevelt stands for
the spirit Of war, His friends present
him as a man of blood and iron. He
believes in strenuousness and incul-
Gates love for war-like things

declares in favor of the reduction OF
the standing army.
No Economic Progress in Sight.
"For these four reasons 1 feel iusti-
fed in supporting the ticket, but
shall not misrepresent the situation
or appeal for votes for the ticket up
on false grounds. A Democratic vic.
tory will mean very little, if any
