FOR
SHR|EvALTY ALL
SAY They WILL WIN
No Change in the Regular Re-
publican Situation for Sc
lection of Candidates.

No simplifcation of the Regular Re-
publican situation relative to the Sc
lection of the candidates TO be sup
ported for nomination at the primaries
has been obtained yet and it Is not
likely that there will be any. Those of
the leaders who thought it best to
take up a new man in the person of
former Assemblyman Samuel f. will
son say they have no cause to recon-
slider their action and that the express
sion of opinion was SO largely in favor
of Mr.. Wilson at the conference of last
Friday that there will be no doubt
about the result at the primaries.
All the candidates have started work
in earnest in an effort to build up
their fences. Probably the most active
of any is former Assemblyman Ralph
B. Schmidt, who intends to carry on an
aggressive campaign until the prl-
maries.
1t was said hat he intended TO make
an automobile campaign throughout
the city and county, and would spread
literature showing his qualifications for
the position.
City Treasurer Albert T. Guenther
also has a host of friends at work.
not only in this city, but in the county.
Carl V. Baumann, who was the
strongest opponent against Mr.. Wilson
at the conference of last Friday, has
been hustling hard, and says hat when
things come to a showdown, he will be
the winner.
At the conference last Friday Mr..
Baumann had five and a half votes
among the city ward leaders, and Mr..
Wilson was nex with four n a half,
Schmidt, Guenther, Mckenzie and Da-
vid H. Johnson, who has since with
drawn, are trailing behind.
Leaders from the county gave their
weight to Mr.. Wilson.

party which does not obey their ex-

dom to lead successfully, the people
will withdraw their commission.
Says Roosevelt Is the Issue.
Fol half a century, with but two
exceptions, the people have commits
stoned the Republican party to ad-

ment; commissioned 1t because the
common sense of the American people

party will, after March 4 next, execute
old laws and enact new ones as in
November 1t is commissioned by the
people to do. That commission will be
from an untrammeled American cleo
torate. Shame On h party which,,
shame on the candidates who, insults
the American people by suggestion or
declaration that q majority OF its cleo
torate is venal. The American voter,
with rare exception, In casting his bal

government b. placed in experienced
hands, or do the people prefer to trust

With a record of four decades of wise
Legislation; two score years OF faithful

Between the Hours of

Indications during the morning at
the polling places in districts where

There was little doubt. according to
election officials, about the sentiment
among the voters. The great prepon-
that they would throw out the ma
chimes. This was true in almost every
district, and was supported by visible
proof In the form of ballots in favor of
the machines that had been discarded
on the shelves and floors of booths by
the men who did vote.
Two ballots were supplied to every
voter, one affirmative and the other
negative. These were distributed yes
terday to election officers, five hundred
to eac polling place.
The loudest objections in connection
with the elections came from the
saloonkeepers. who, under the law, had
to close their places of business during
the hours the voting Is In progress,
from 6 a. m. to 7 p. m.
The districts where the voting is
taking place today are t~hirty-one in
