primaries tonight. called to select dele
gates to the State convention, brought out
the largest vote thar has been poIled by
the party in pre-convention contests in a
decade. and We're attended by bitterness
that has rarely been equaled. Charges Of
fraud were common over the city. and
friends OF years were arrayed against
each other at the polls and INDUCED in
arguments that not infrequentiy led to
blows
The issue was Taggart and anu-Tae-
CART, and both sides fought as though In
a death struggle Hundreds Of automo-
biles. wagons. carriages. and buggies car
ried voters to the polls. and hundreds OF
votes were cast by men who possibly
never voted a Democratic ticket in their
lives. Two wagon loads OF Hunayaks
were carried from ward to ward on the
South Side. and were voted at each poll
ing place without any questions being
asked.
Throw Antis Into Street
In the Sixth ward the Tsggart men
raided the polling places, took possession.
threw the Antrs bodily from the room.
and organized an election board Of their
own
The Anti's opened another polling place.
just across the street. and the Tagga-t
men thus voted at one place and the
Anti's al another.
Early in the day the opposition dis
ributed thousands of tissue ballots. and
IN many OF the South Side precincts these
were placed in the ballot boxes bv twos
and threes without any regard 10 the
rights Of the Taggart men. who protested
IN vain.

testing delegates. and al the contests

Northwestern Mutual Fire Associations
Policy Holders Profits Exceed Half
Million in Seven Years.

The Northwestern Mutual Fire Asso-
citation of Seattle has just increased its
dividend to policy holders to IS per
cent. on its annual payment Dwelling
and Farm policies, thus reducing the
cost of insurance to A per cent. OF
Board rates. The Company now has
over twenty thousand policy holders,
and during the past seven years has
made them profit of over $5,OO0,000 as
compared to the rates of Board Com
panies. 1t has also accumulated lar
ger cash surplus in proportion to insur-
ance outstanding than the combined
surplus Of all Stock Companies reporting
to New York. While its policy holders
are receiving profit of % per cent. on
their Dwelling and Farm insurance they
assume no liability beyond the payment
of their premium. The seven years
record made by this Company solves
the problem of reliable insurance at a
minimum cost. Over 80 per cent. of all
its business is outside the conflagration
