VOTES SWARM TO PRIMARIES

After the returns from the Republic
can primaries were in last night Mr..
Sutherland felt strong enough to say:
We have carried everything and can
absolutely name any ticket we want.
We shall use judgment in the matter
however. in the effort 90 get a we'll
balanced ticket We shall not insist on
RAINING any particular men, but viii
name out of those we know to be all
right the ones who viii make the
strongest ticket"
Mr.. Sutherland's friends were jubi-
liant and claimed that with Republl-
can legislature the election Of Mr.. Suth-
erland to the United States senate
would be a certainty. AS he is.to date
the only man actively in the field, it is
not difficult 10 discover the basis for
the claim.
Many of the faces that have been
conspicuous in conventions of the past
viii be absent. Some of Them have
Joined the American party others re-
fused to stand the test offered by the
Smoot crowd and others fell victims
TO their allegiance to certain candi-
dates. The result was the elimination
of dozens of the veterans. On the
other hand there is good reason 10 be-
lieve that some of those elected will
decline to serve. In their frantic en-
deavor to hold their strength the work
ers placed on their states in several
districts men who have openly eX-
pressed themselves in favor of the new
party movement II was hoped that
this would serve TO Keep the diseontept-
ed ones in line
The States Went Through.
With scarcely a scratch the Safes
everywhere went through. Almost ev-
cry report that was brought to the
headquarters came in the form of
printed Slip bearing the names OF the
slate men. Erasures were so rare that
they caused comment. The rule was
that the dose prepared by the Smoot
manipulators was accepted without
murmur. Isolated cases were reported
where friends Of a certain candidate
were strong enough and courageous
enough TO make a fight against the ma
chine, but generally the candidates for
lesser Offices were obliged to hold their
forces back TO make room for men who
would follow without protest insruc
lions laid down by the machine oper-
atOrs.
Attendance on the, primaries gener-
ally was heavy. In some districts the
attendance ran close to the total Re-
publican vote Of the districts two years
ago.
I'VE Beat Them
we beat them" was the almost uni.
Nersal cry Of the district leaders as they
entered headquarters with their re-
ports. The beaten them appeared to
he wholly imaginary characters, so far
as could be ascertained last night.
Nothing. like organized resistance to
the machine developed and when
pressed 10 explain who them were,
the leaders could. do no more than look
puzzled and remark: Say. III be
burned if | Know" The deduction was
that they had been given the printed
slips and told to see the slate men
through NJ amy. cost, which led to the
belief That there was opposition when,
in fact,flt existed not
