recent date, which no doubt will
be of interest to our readers ano
especially those directly con.
| cerned:
And now Mineral Wells is coming
in for another claim to consideration
which has heretofore not been thought
Of by many people. That is. it is the
very place to have family reuhion.
This is the plan hit upon by the
Tarlton family of Louisiana and Tex
as. and they are now carrying it out
in this city. and are having most en-
joyable time.
''SOme time ago Mr.. l.. b. Tarlton.
member of big wholesale house at
Franklin, La, visited the city. and.
like everybody else, became complete
ly in love with Mineral Wells. He
decided to return and spend the sum-
mer here. and then the idea Of d fam
lily reunion during the summer struck
him. After writing to some of his re-
latives. many Of whom lived in this
State, he had friend here to lease
the Wann premises for the season.
that the family spending the summer
and he and his immediate
family came here and took up their
residence. Almost daily since, the
Tarltons have been coming and going
until before the season ends. they will
have all been together once more.
1T was bright idea. and reflects
great credit upon the originator. Mr..
Tarlton is splendid gentleman and is
a charter member in good standing of

tion the number Of delegates allowed

to become candidates for delegate or
alternate to a convention and the can
didates for precinct committeeman
must propose their nomination in
writing and file it with the county
clerk.
The county clerk is required to
publish the notices for the primaries
at least fifteen days before the second

bered year, when delegates to the
county conventions Of all political
parties shall be elected at the same
time and place and in the same man
ner as provided for the elections Of
county and state officers, The bill
requires that the nominations for
delegates and precinct committeeman
for each party shall be printed on
separate ballots and each party ballot
is to be Of different colored paper.
The ballots are to be printed under
the direction Of the county clerks. At
the head of each ballot are to be
printed the instructions to the voter,
telling how many delegates he can
vete for and how many alternates and
instructing the voter not to make the
cross mark opposite names Of
more than this number or the ballot
in invalidated. The judges and
clerks are to be of the same number
Abilene weekly reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1888-1935, 1907-01-31

and selected in the same way as are
judges and clerks for a general cleo
tion. The primary polls are to be
open from 10 O'Clock until I O'Clock
on the primary day. The law re-
quires that all procedure in voting
and counting the ballots shall follow
the Australian system as far as possi-
BILE.
The judges and clerks In counting
the ballots follow the same methods
as In general elections except that .
man when he votes is required to
state his party affiliations and his
name is registered In that party's
poll books which are to be kept ON
file in the county clerks offices.
The law requires that the state cen-
tral committees Of each party shall
meet on the first Thursday OF March,
the congressional committees on the
second Monday in March, the senator
ial committee on the second Tuesday
in March, the judicial committees on
the second Thursday in March and
the committees Of representative dis
tricts on the second Friday in March
of each even numbered year to make
the apportionment Of delegates to the
different conventions. The appor-
ticnment for each county and district
in the county is then filed with each
county clerk by the officers Of the
state committees.
The county conventions are to be
held sometime between the third
Tuesday in March and the last Tues
day in May. The delegates to the
state and district conventions are to
be nominated at this time as we'll as
the candidates for county officers.
The certificates Of delegates to each
state and district convention are to
be made up by the county clerks be-
fore they are valid. No special time
is set for holding state conventions.

MUST RUN SLOWLY.
Union Pacific to Hold Time to 65
Miles an Hour.

Word has been received that the
new Atlantic type engines for use ON
passenger trains on the second dis
trict of the Union Pacific are ready to
leave Omaha and they are now ex-
pected any day. The new engines
are Nos. 5, 6, and 8. A bulletin
Just posted for engineers states that
when it is absolutely necessary and
the conditions are favorable speed OF
sixty-tive miles an hour maybe made
by the passenger trains, but under no
circumstances must that speed be
exceeded.
Sixty-fve miles an hour can be
made only under the most favorable
conditions, and there are twenty-eight
curves between Kansas City and Den
yer where a speed not to exceed forty
five miles an hour can be maintained,
and these places aforementioned on the
bulletin for the benefit Of the engl-
reers. The tone of this bulletin
would indicate that the Union Pacific
road generally is in pretty good con-
dition. Between Abilene and Chap
man 60 miles an hour is a regular
proceeding.
