SOCIALIST TICKET.

The socialists of Barber county
met in the jury room of the court
house Saturday and nominated the
following ticket:
Representative, ]. w. Catlin,
Valley.
Sheriff, Fred Liebst, Medicine
Lodge.
Treasurer, A. w. Munich, Cedar.
Clerk, Martin Roessler, Valley.
Register of Deeds, G. w. Purdy,
Lake City.
Probate Judge, Frank Kumberg,
Elm Mills.
County Attorney, ]. D. Keller,
Hazelton.
Superintendent, Mrs. |. K. Ran
dolph, Medicine Lodge.
Clerk of the district court, Wal
ter Jackson, Elm Mills.
Surveyor, Ben Lasswell, Medi-
cine Lodge.
Coroner, Geo. Shepafd, Valley.
Commissioner, Grant Randolph,
Medicine Lodge.
The convention was compo sed
of six men-just half the number
required to fill the ticket. They
were H. l. Tilden, Fred Liebst,
Grant Randolph, Walter Jackson
Martin Roessler, VIM. Kumberg.'
Five are sincere socialists while
one has no intention of voting the
ticket. Probably half of those
nominated will decline to stand as
candidates. Part of them can
hardly be said to be socialists.
There are not over 40 socialists in
the county and most of them were
opposed to nominating a county
ticket which explains the very
small attendance at the so-called
convention.

1T WAS A HOT PRIMARY.

The republican primary held in
this city on Saturday afternoon was
a 'humdigger.' The brethren had
their war paint on and their daggers
gllstened and the politicians were
thirsting for gore.
CAT caucus held Wednesday
night preceding the primary it was
agreed that only one set of dele
gates and alternates be voted on
and that the names of the rival
candidates for the delegation be
printed on a ballot below the
names of the delegates and those
receiving the greatest number of
votes to receive the support of the
delegation.
The names of the delegates and
alternateS were as follows:

The contest on commissioner
materialized only few days before
the primary and it was fast and
furious. Commissioned Wads-
worth has served one term and for
awhile he was not particular
whether he stood for reelection or
not, but two weeks before the pri-
mary he made up his mind to 60
in for the nomination. His friends
did not dream of opposition until
early last week. 1t is rarely the
case that public officer in Barber
county is not accorded a second
term but in this instance several of
the faithful carried long dirk up
their sleeves. The commissioner
fight was really the hot one. All
were interesting but the contest
between Messrs. Case and Wads-
worth far eclipsed them all.
Col. John MacGregor was Wads-
worth's spokesman and ]. N. Tinch-
er was Cases tiger. We have
heard good deal about the squalls
and brawls of Tammany Hall but
they ale as quiet as a Quaker meet
ing compared with the Tincher-
MacGregor fusilade. Everything
was voted from citizens to hoboes.
The total vote cast was 283. Two
years ago Roosevelt's vote in the
township was 27o and a liberal per
cent of those were democrats who
could not go Parker, so that it is
easily seen that large number of
illegal votes were cast. One
IL. Duffy, railroader, who was
challenged by Col. MacGregor,
started to crawl over the table and
punch him but was stopped. The
exchange of compliments between
Col. MacGregor and "Judge"
Tincher was very spirited and sew
eral times it appeared that ply
seal argument was near.
The winners at this primary
claim that it is now settled but
Others say that the game is not out
until it is played out and that
when the outside precincts come in
the program will be altered, and
that the transient hobo vote will
not be permitted to run the repub-
lican party of this county.

1t is morally certain that very
large proportion of the citizen labor
that can be secured for the public
works, could not be secured for plan

were opened to aliens it is unquestion-
able that a large number of alien
laborers would be employed on public
work. These for the most part would
be taken away from the plantations
and their places on She plantations
would not be filled by the citizen labor
now employed on public works, so that
