Every contest that is to be decided
at the primaries Sept. IS is now def
n1tely fixed as far as entries are con
cerned. All entries are in. The lists
! closed at midnight with 2SO candidates
, filed on the various tickets. There is a
peculiar coincidence in the fact that
filed two years ago. s., ..~,. ....>..
thirds are republicans: No ticket is
complete this year. Even the repub-
lican ticket has blanks in certain dis
tricts regarded as shopelessly democratic
or where by agreement mo opposition
has been made. The same is. true in
ticket. There are more blanks and it
was not until II O'Clock last night,
after some hard work by the demo.
cratic committee, that even a fair
showing was secured. The prohibition
lists and public ownership. candidates
fairly poured in yesterday and these
parties will have fair ticket so far as
candidates are concerned, especially on
the aldermanic and legislative tickets.
All four parties have candidates for
mayor: j. D. Engle, chairman Of the
prohlb1tlon county. committee, fled
yesterday. -
Double Cross Plan7
There was some excitement and inter.
est thruout the city during the final
hours of filing, and candidates and their
friends kept close tab on proceedings.
2 fSs t thnas b has been brought to light
been made to "double cross'' candi-
dates by the filing, of candidates with
nearly the same name, or that the
| same dodge has been used to discredit
the primary system. This is marked in
several cases. ,....~
In the fight for Judge of probate it
is most marked. George R. Smith Of
the first ward, who has been in the
race Tor some. time, was served with
coming. Last night Eugene Vincent
Smith, giving his residence lodging
house at l0S Washington avenue. 8, was
filed for the office. He was brought in
by a democratic chief of the lower end
of the fifth ward. Chris ,Jurcell, who
made no bones Of the fact he was fling
the man., The name of Eugene Vim
1yn< Il Il
rectory and all efforts to find anybody
Of that name at the address given
failed.
An attempt was made to bring ont q
George Harold Smith, for the same
office and was reported to George R.
Smith and his friends An offer Of $500
if he would file was made but refused.
Since that time. similar threats have
Smith filing was made. It is not known
and is not believed. that the move was
instigated by any candidate in the race
or in his interests. =: .....'.- d; <<-:.>.s
Threats of Similar Moves. -:
Judge G. L. Smith, candidate. for spe-
cial Judge Of the, municipal: court, was
on on. deck &c: the entire evening evidently,
only left his post after the auditor 8
office was closed and the books closed,
Threats of a. similar move have been
made against s. T. johnson, candidate
for city treasurer on republican ticket.
Many for Park Board. =. -. ::
The banner registration is for. the
park board. on the republican ticket.
There are four places, and twenty-five
are fled for Judge Of probate, and
eight for register Of; deeds. There are
eight candidates for representative
from the forty first district, which has
four places available, and seven in the
fortieth district, which has but two
places: There are seven candidates for
the two county commissionerships. ,
The heaviest democratic filing out.
side Of the park board, which shows six
candidates for four places. is for rep
resentative of the thirty eighth district,
where there are four candidates for two
places. In the third and eleventh wards
three democratic alderl1anic candidates
aapp p1stI there are two IL the sixth and
except the fifth. On the republican
ticket there are plenty Of aldermanic
candidates. Wendell HerSig has no re-
publican or democratic opposition in the
fifth ward; John Peterson is alone in
the republican side Of the sixth, and
there is no first ward candidate. Mich
ael A. Gerber, the present democratic
alderman of the first, has the same easy
walkaway as Alderman Hertig.
For the legislative offices the re.
publicans are well supplied: with candi-
dates with two exceptions. There is
no republican senatorial candidate in
the thirty eighth district and but one
representative. The democrats have no
candidates. in the thirty ninth, fortieth,
or forty-third districts. and have COM
plete registration in only the thirty
eighth. - -
