REPUBLICANS
Now Have Nearly a Com
piete Ticket For the
Primaries.
LIST OF CANDIDATES

When the hour of nine arrived Sat
urday night all was excitement at
Republican headquarters where a
large number of Republicans gathered
to witness the drawing of the different
candidates for positions on the ticket
at the primary election Saturday,
April 6. between / and 7 p. m. The
city and township central committee
ordered the books for the entry OF
names of persons who desired TO
become candidates for the various Of
fees to remain open until that hour.
The crowd was too large to be ac-
commodated in the rooms at head
quarters and City Chairman A. w.
Agler stated the drawing would take
place in the rooms of the McKin-
ley club on the opposite side of the
street. After the meeting was called
to order in the Mckinley club rooms,
Chairman Agler exhibited a leather
bottle which he stated contained
tHClNt maj DlOot llOhl OhO
up, and as the different Offices were
reached on the list the names of the
candidates entering the race for that
Office were called and all lined, up
in front of the desk. the bottle well
shook mixing the marbles thoroughly,
in the hand of each candidate a mar
BILE was deposited, the number on the
marble indicating the position of the
candidate on the ticket. All candi-
dates who did not appear were repre-
sented by some friend who acted as
a substitute. The candidates who
have no opposition did not draw for
a position, of course.
The Republican ticket will be blank
as to councilman in the Third ward
and for assessors in the First, Third
and Fifth wards.
1t was stated by Chairman Agler
that the vacancies on the ticket would
not be filed until after the primary
election as the books were closed.
He stated the voters in the districts
where the omissions occurred may
write on the ticket voted the name
of an elector in that district and who
ever receives a plurality will be de-
clared the nominee.
REGISTRATION OF NEW VOTERS.
The board of elections will meet on
next Tuesday morning to determine
registration questions. 1t is probable,
Mr.. Agler stated. that the transfers
will be issued from the board rooms
and where all new voters will have
to go to register before they can vote
at the primary election.
