PRIMARIES
Knox and Craig Are Measuring
Strength in Four of
Wards.
NO CONTEST IN THE OTHERS
Exciting Finish Predicted in Third,
Fourth and Fifth Wards This
Evening.

Republicans of the city are holding
their primaries in the seven wards
ibis afternoon TO choose candidates
Tor aldermen and delegates to sit in
the city-township convention Wednes-
day evening at Turner hall.
The primaries opened at l and will
close at O'Clock. There are contest
ing delegate tickets in four of the
wards, the First, Third, Fourth and
Fifth. and here is centered the fight
between the Knox and Craig forces.
With the police magistracy and city
attorneyship playing not an unimpor-
tant part.
One Ticket In Three Wards.
In the Second. Sixth and Seventh,
the party members at their caucuses
agreed TO await a vote in the conven-
ton before expressing a preference for
the head of the ticket.
However, one republican said today
hat the majority of those whose
names appear on the Second ward
ticket are Knox supporters. The del
egation in the Sixth is for c. J. Larkin
and probably will give its solid vote
o him on the first ballot. A. E. Mel
son, candidate for police magistrate
picked the Seventh ward delegation.
He is understood to be wavering be
tween Knox and Larkin.
Rush Mt Close ProphesIed.
There was only a light vote cast W
20 s O'Clock There is talk of a rush
in the Third, Fourth and Fifth be
tween & and : O'Clock.

SQUIBS ABOUT
LOCAL POLITICS

1t would not be strange if while the
Union was giving itself over to hallu-
cinations about what might happen in
the democratic party. the affairs in the
republican party would get into such
snarl that even the Union could not
unraveI it.
The Sixth ward republicans held an
.other animated session Saturday night
A. J. Reiss presided. The only change
in the delegation TO the city conven-
ton. as heretofore announced, was the
substitution of the name of Squire w
F. Schroeder for that of Pete Loge
The latter was removed because of his
McCaskrin proclivities. The delega-
tiOn is expected to be for Larkin for
first choice for mayor, with Craig a
close second.
Easily the most remarkable incident
of the ante-cOnvention squabble is the
political estrangement between b.
Frank Knox and Capt. Hughey A. J..
Mcdonald. These two republican glad
iators have toiled together for so many
years. that the breach now is almost as
pathetic as the quarrel between Brutus
and Cassius. The trouble is not that
Hughey loves his former old comrade
less, but that between the time of the
opening of the preliminaries and the
announcement of the Knox candidacy.
little dreaming that his old friend
would have thought of entering the
race again. especially under the guild
9nPa of Phil Miller mr. fa1
Hughey fell into the apothecary shop.
And since that date he has been under
the Doctors orders. Now he cannot
change without seriously compromis-
ing himself
Larry Magill has been consulting
his constituency in this section con-
corning his good roads project. In
some of the down-state sections he
found people more interested in good

It's a good safe bet that the doctor
has had many calls the past few
days and that he responded promptly

ming and that his formal withdrawal
might be given out this evening.
