TICKETS ARE OUT.
Too Late Now for Any More
Withdrawals.
All Names Will Now Go Before
the People.
IN THE RACE TO STAY.
Now Certain McNary VIII Not
Step Aside.
Thirty-fve Candidates Are Still
in the Lists.

The tickets for the Shawnee county
Republican primaries to be held next
Saturday, March 10, are all printed and
have been delivered to the secretary OF
the county central committee.
This practically precludes the prOba-
bility of the withdrawal of any more
candidates. Even should one or more Of
them do SO, their names would still 90
before the Republican voters on Satur-
day.
The only way that it is now possible
to have the name of any candidate tax
en- of the ballot, is 10 have all the tick
cts printed over again, and this must
be done at the expense OF the Withdraw
ing candidate. Such an instance is
hardly likely to arise in the present race.
AL Bauer, who did the printing, said
today. Il finished the tickets on Satur-
day and turned them over to the secre-
tary of the central committee. There
isn't one chance in hundred of any
more Withdrawals. If any of the can
didates wanted to get out now, the only
way he could keep his name from going
before the people on Saturday, would be
for him to have all the tickets printed
over again. and it would have to be at
his own expense. The only Withdrawals
which have occurred since the entries
We're made, have been in the race for
sheriff and the race for county attor-
ney. In the former, Norton, COlvin and
Lawson pulled off, leaving Belts and
WilzersOn. From the county attorney
race, W. W. Harvey pulled off leaving
Gululy, McNary and Foster fighting for
the nomination. I hear nothing about
any possible further Withdrawals.
What about McNary2' was asked.
"He is in the race to stay replied
Bauer. Il know nothing to the contra
ry.
Bauer is a leader in Shawnee county
politics and is Immediately acquainted
with all. of the obtaining conditions.
The following names will appear on
the ticket:

Much talk has been current during

many rumors concerning McNary's
