NO PRIMARY THIS SPRING
Little Excitement Prevails over Contest
for City Officers.

Local politics have failed to create
nlnch excitement this spring in Viroqua,
although there is considerable competi-
tion in the third ward. No primary
electiC was held yesterday, as only
two G. ndidates had legally filed their
nomination papers with the city clerk.
These two kindly withdrew their pa
pers thus saving the city the expense
of primary election. All candidates
for city offices will now run independ-
ent of party lines.
In the first ward j. F. Parker and
Jerome Favor are candidates for alder
man, with the possibility of one or two
others within a few days. 7. o. Mork
has no opposition in this ward for the
office of supervisor.
George H. Clarke and c. j. Smith
are out for city dads to go in the sec
ond, while Gen. E. M. Rogers has a
clear field for supervisor.
In the third W. Z. Garrett and Lud-
wig Sandsmark are both seeking a seat
in the council and c. f. Morley, o. P.
Hill and John r. Spellum are in the
race for supervisor.
S. K. Pollard and Squire Toney are
candidates for reelection as justices of
the peace
