SAM JOHNSON FOR
HUSTACE AND CRABBE
THE POLITICAL GAME GROWS
MORE COMPLICATED AS THE
DAYS GO ON-CAUCUS MONDAY.

A local political worker declares that
he has discovered a description of the
Republican primaries il. the account
of the caucus-race in Alice in Wonder
Hand:
There was no one, two, three, and
away? But they began running when
they liked and left off when they liked,
so that it was not easy to know when
the race was over. However, when
they had been running half an hour
or so, and were quite dry again, the
Dodo suddenly called out The Race
Is Over and they all crowded round
| it, painting and asking, But who has
won?
This question the Dodo could not
answer without a great deal of
thought, and it sat for a long time
with one finger pressed upon it's fore
head the position in which you usu.
ally see Shakespeare in the picture of
him), while the rest waited in silence.
At last the Dodo said Everybody has
won, and all must have prizes"
Today, one week after the primaries,
the apprenticeship fight is more mixed
than ever. Everyone seems to be
claiming the support of Brown and
Brown says nothing, except that he is
keeping his hands off. He is quoted,
however, by various workers as sup
porting everyone, and one result is
that there is much soreness develop
| ing. The men in the fight want him
70 fa1 hut
far he has not openly taken any stand.
Sam Johnson yesterday declared
himself for Crabbe and Hustace. He
is said to have notified Brown that
that was his ticket and that he pro-
posed to work for it. E. w. Quinn,
representative from the Fourth and
candidate for another term, is said to
be supporting the same two.
A general Fourth District caucus
has been called for next Monday ev-
ening, and it is expected to settle most
If not all of the fights. AS far as the
candidates other than supervisors are
concerned, all appears to be fairly well
settled, but the leaders cannot agree
over the supervisors. 1t is expected
that he caucus proceedings will serve
to bring out the various delegations to
a considerable extent, and by the time
an adjournment is taken, the aspirants
for nominations ought to know "where
they are at"
The Eighth of the Fourth held an
other caucus last night. In a former
caucus it was decided that the pre-
cinct would support Hustace and
Crabbe. This is Hustace's precinct In
view Of the mix-up II was decided last
night to withdraw the former action,
and the caucus decided to work for
Hustace This action, it is stated, was
not intended as a move against
Crabbe but was to leave the delega-
ton free to use all it's strength for
Hustace, in trading sotes.
The Sixth of the Fourth is coming
out, 1t is said, half and half for Gear
and Crabbe. At the time of Crabbe's
withdrawal from the fight for sheriff,
the precinct declared unanimously for
him for supervisor. but that was be-
fore Gear had announced himself. 1t
is his home precinct and he will divide
it with Crabbe, according to present
plans.
w. w. Harris is still the most prom
inently mentioned for chairman Of the
convention The fact that he is a cam
didate, however, may prevent his be-
ing chosen as chairman. George A.
Davis was also mentioned but with
drew from the night.
1t was reported today on pretty good
authority that Browns choice for SUI
