Both parties now have their local
tickets full. There We're two coun-
cilmanic vacancies on the Republl-
can ticket. c. c. Duvall was placea
on the ticket in the First ward and
T. T.. Ford, the well known feed
dealer. was nominated to succeed
Mr. Samuel Hill. who withdrew from.
the ticket in the Fifth.
There was only one vacancy on
the Democratic ticket. That was in
the school board and Mr.. Ben WE'LL,
was nominated to fill vacancy IN
the Second ward, caused by resigna-
ton of Ashley Robertson. This nomi-
nation rather complexities the school
board situation in the Second ward,
which has had a hard time keeping
a representative on the board. Col.
J. +. Potter, president of the board,
was elected by the board itself to
succeed Mr. Robertson, and his term
will expire this fall. II was expected
by his friends, OF course, when a
vacancy occurred on the ticket that
he would be given a place; but Mr..
Davis is a candidate again and Col
onel Potter, with his usual political
fortune. is left in the cold.

would be auditor in case Tom Harrl-
son is elected mayor, and the pre-
vailing opinion is that Charles Ora
ham is slated for that important
berth. The most active and enthu-
siastic supporters Mr.. Harrison has
are the Grahans and their personal
interest in the campaign has done
something to create the impression.
Certain IT is that friends and well
wishers of Mr.. Kirkland, who have
inquired, have been unable to get
any satisfaction out of Mr.. Harrison,
regarding the Office.
A Bitter Campaign.
I'VE have 400 Illegal Republican
registrations" is the word the Demo
cratic campaign committee is sending
out 10 voters by mail. 1t is believed
this assertion, and editorials in the
NewsDemocrat in the guise of news
on the front page, limiting at exces-
sive registration, are designed to
create suspicion in the public mind,
so that wholesale frauds and intimi-
dations to be resOrted to. la Frank
lin county, may be accepted as mere
''purging" OF the registration.
Republican committeeman say they
have been exceedingly particular
about the Republican vote and have
stopped former convicts, who have
not been restored to citizenship, in
several instances. They also are in
vestigating records, and numerous
cases in which ex-convicts are regis
tered as Democrats, will be exposed.
Several instances, where voters liv-
ing on short streets in the outskirts
have confused their numbers have
been brought TO light, and the COM
mittees of both parties will have
these matters slaughtered out be-
fore election time.
Both committees will be busy from
now on, and this promises to be the
best organized campaign ever fought
through in this city.

effective vote is 6G3,G69 shares.
Based upon previous meetings of the
Illinois Central railroad. the esti-
mate was that approximately 100 900
shares would not be voted. This, In
the opinion of the attorneys in the

ALMOST MOB ROYAL VISITOR

NEW YORK. September 1.-Prince
Wilhelm OF Sweden put in his custom
ary busy day In New York, In spite
of the fact that 1T was Sunday. He
attended divine services on board the
Swedish cruiser Fylgia, entertained a
small party of friends at luncheon on
board the ship, was almost mobbed
by the crowd when he came ashore,
motored through Central Park, and
this evening gave small dinner at
the Hotel Astor.
The cruiser Fylgia will sail for Bos-
ton tomorrow afternoon unless it is
found that some of Ihe important parts
of her machinery are missing
To-day was reception day aboard the
cruiser and. following the custom es-
thblished when Admiral Ijuin's Japan
ese squadron and the Duke ofaAbruZzi's
Italian cruiser visited New York, it
seemed as IL every visitor wanted to
carry away a souvenir. Glasses, dishes
sailors caps and officers swords, scab-
bards-in fact, practically every thing
portable lying around loose aboard the
ship--was taken.
stole Part of Cannon.
One enthusiastic souvenir hunter car
ried away the breechblockr latch of the
big gun in<the forward barbette.
Prince Wilhelm and his party, in
cuding the Swedish minister and
Madame de Lagercrantz and the Swed-
ish consul and Mrs. Charholm, were
present at the Sunday services on board
the ship, the prince taking his regular
place among the junior officers.
When the launch bearing the prince
and the party reached the landing
stage at the foot of Seventy-ninth
Street, a great crowd had gathered.
Two policemen detailed at the landing
stage to keep the crowd in order were
swept aside, and the prince was forced
to fight his way through the eager
crowd to reach his automobile. The
people fought to get close to him to
shake his hand or to touch his clothing.
With his aide, Prince Wilhelm strug-
gled manfully against the crowd. and
finally, breathless, his clothing awry,
he succeeded in escaping. Before re-
turning to the Fylgia the party motored
up Riverside Drive and through Cen
tral Park.
Tonight the prince gave small din-
ner to a few friends at the Hotel AS
tor, and at the same time the Swedish
minister entertained at dinner at the
same place the officers and cadets Of
the Fylgia.
The princes proposed trip to West
Point has been abandoned because of
the lack OF time.
