ter Who Seek Money or
Office By This Plan

W r. '''' 't 'i' 'l''ti'h on 4N'Ntin-
Der can register, and that Is October
20
The time has already passed when
those who wish 90 take part in the Re
publican primaries on September 20
can register as only those who reg
istered ON August fth. 18th or 18th
may take part IA the primaries Those
who register To-day and The third sat
urday Ia October are entitled 10 vote
only at the election.
The nominees in this county will
be selected on September 20 BY the

registration days OF August and the
activity displayed BY the various can
didates or their friends in securing the
registration OF their supporters at
that time will determine who will
stand as party nominees 70 be voted
Tor by those who register to-day or
October 90
Several close contests are anticipated
~ the nominations Tor county officers
lh the recorder Of deeds contest the
Republican ORGANIZATION throughout the
city Is divided and the same may be
said OF the contest for register OF Wills
where certain members of the county
organization are lining up their fol-
lowers against Fred +. Bach. the pres
'ent register. Mr.. Bach's friends, how
ever, predict that he will win, but may
not have so large a majority as two
years ago.
Nominees for county offices such as
sheriff, register OF Wills. recorder OF
deeds and clerk OF the Orphans Court
ana register In chancery are chosen
at the Republican primaries September
20 and not by county convention, as
4 rs the case with the Democrats, who
are holding n county convention to-day
TO nominate candidates on the Demo-
cratic ticket TO oppose the Republican
nominees to be selected at the primar-
les.
! A situation similar 10 that existing
two years ago has arisen In the atti-
tude OF a few disgruntled Union Re-
publlcans who propose to force recog-
milton OF their claims even at the cost
OF party defeat and which Is calling
down upon their heads the anathemas
OF the community.
A Hold-Up Ticket.
Announcement is made In Addicks'
weekly paper. the sun, and by certain
men who were connected with the I'm
ion Republican organization before II
was merged with the Regular Republi-
can party. in the present reorganized
and united Republican party,
that they viii again put up
a Union Republican state and county
ticket. The men back OF this scheme
are the ones who set up the county
ticket two years ago and demanded an
received several thousand dollars to get
out OF the way and who joined with
the Democrats in City Council last
year and by their base betrayal Sc
cured several offices worth many
thousand dollars, The men back OF
this sand-baR or stand and deliver
separate ticket movement are IN league
with the Democrats and will take or
ders from Boss Ford II Is doubtful u
the scheme will amount TO anything,
The plan Is for them TO hold a so-called
lconvention at Bader Hall on Monday
levening, when complete county ticket
win be nominated and then the syndi-
cate viii be ready to receive offers of
money for the reslgnations OF the diff
ferent candidates. II Is not believed
the game that was worked so SUCCESS
fully two years ago VIII work again.
II Is not likely that any man who can
poll more than fifty votes viii permit
his name to go on the hold-up ticket.
and secondly the candidates ON that
ticket viii not receive one cent to set
off
The convention at Bader Hall on
Monday night will be carefully watch
ed, and II possible a list OF the del
egates" viii be obtained for publica-
tion. The men who participate in the
movement win certainly find their
names on the Republican blacklist
That Addlcks should be a party TO
such scheme is surprising 70 some,
for the reason that he sat as a dell
egate in the recent harmony Republi-
can State Convention and was there
fore bound TO abide its action. For
him to undertake now to put up a sep
arate or independent ticket places him
and his followers in anything but q
