The battle of the ballots is on today
and while the vote early in the day
was much lighter than was anticl
pated, the fight waxed warm through
gut the afternoon, and heavy vote
Tor primary election is being polled
The vote was made lighter because
many of the voters object to the pro.
vision Of the law which makes it
necessary for them to declare their
politics openly. In some instances
voters have refused to make the nee
essary declaration and relinqushed
their right to participate in the pri-
mary.
Public interest centers mainly in
the republican contest for the nomna

On the democratic side of the pri

hard fought. and have lacked the bit

the gubernatorial nomination has had
the same effect here as elsewhere. and
while the other candidates made very
favorable impressions when they Wis
tied the city, the tide seems now to
have turned to Stevenson Had he
entered the race earlier it is probable
tnat there would have been very lit
tie opposition to his candidacy.
The democrats are having d lively
contest over the question of the nom
