Forty Per Cent Nominates.

Should any candidate have 40 per
cent or more of the first choice votes
he is thereby made the nominee of the
party; and if no one receives 40 per
cent then the first choice and second
choice votes received by each candi-
date shall be added and the candidate
having the highest total shall be the
nominee. Unless some candidate re-
ceives 40 per cent second choice is
of as much value as a first choice vote.
Whenever the ballot contains the
words vote for two" or some other
number greater than one it means that
the number of persons designated by
the number are to be elected to that
office, and the voter should mark a
cross after as many names as are des-
ignated by the number and no more.
(The law prohibits voting for more
candidates for an Office than are to be
elected at the election following the
primary. Sec. 12.)

WASHINGTON'S
PRIMARY LAW
SYNOPSIS is HEREWITH GIVEN
TO GOVERN VOTERS.
Synopsis Is Herewith Given Whereby
Voters Can Get Wise How to Cast
Ballot Lawfully - Second Choice
Clause ExpIained-No Excuse for
Mistake if Read Carefully.

A synopsis of the primary law of
the state of Washington follows:
The voter may call for any party
ballot which he desires. If challenged.
he shall declare, under oath of affirm
alton, that he intends to affiliate with
such party at the ensuing election and
intends generally to support its can
didates. This does not pledge the
voter to support all of the nominees
or any particular nominee, but it is an
affirmation of his general political be-
lief
Immediately opposite the names of
all candidates for state offices and for
congress are two perpendicular rows
in brackets; the left one is for first
choice and the right one for second
choice In all cases where there are
four or more candidates for nomina-
ton of one party for state office or
for congress the voter must indicate
his preference for first and second
choice; the ballot itself indicates, in
each case, whether it is necessary to
make second choice vote. The Sec
ond choice provision does not apply
to county offices and does not apply
to the judiciary. Where there is a
second choice provision the voter must
vote for both first and second choice;
otherwise his ballot will not be
counted for that particular office. The
voter cannot vote for the same person
for both first and second choice.
Camas Prairie chronicle. [volume] (Cottonwood, Idaho) 1901-1917, 1908-09-04
Must Register to Vote.

The primary law (Sec. 12) provides
that every qualified person properly
registered as a voter in the election
precinct where he will be entitled to
vote at the following election is en-
titled to vote at the primary cleo
ton.
To be a qualified voter under the
constitution (Sec. 1881 one must be a
native born or naturalized citizen of
the United States shall have resided
in the state one year, in the county
ninety 900 days and in the election
precinct thirty 500 days Immediately
preceding the election.
The voter must be registered before
the day of the primary election. To
be registered he must have lived In the
state II months and 10 days, in the
county 20 days and in the election pre-
cinct 10 days.
You can not register on primary
election day, and unless you are reg
istered before that day you can not
vote.
The primary election will be held
September s, 1908, and the polls will
be open from II a. m. until p. M, and
if any voters are present when the
time for closing the polls arrive who
have not been able to vote since ap-
pearing at the polling place the polls
shall be kept open reasonably long
enough after the hour to allow those
SO present to vote, but one not present
when the hour for closing arrives can
not vote although he arrives at the
polling place before the polls are act
ually closed.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-03-22

The following is taken from the ad- dress of pr. George Waverly Briggs, the celebrated evangelist:
 Mamma, is my papa a drunkard? And won't ever get my rifie?"
 "Oh! my baby?'-and for a moment the mother sat dumb, with white and frightened face. Then with a rush of tears: Baby! baby! What on earth do things to you?"
 Ut was Gerald' (his little neighbour. "He showed me his shotgun. It's just a single-barrel, and I told him papa was going to get me a Marlin rifle. You know papa promised me one the other night. Aud just awhile ago Gerald was passing by the gate, and he says. Hello, kid; got that rifle? >and l says No, papa hasn't got, it for me yet And he says, No, and he never will get it. My papa says your papa IS just a common drunkard and can't give you nothing.' Mamma, is Gerald telling the truth about my papa? And won't I get my rihe?"
 It was the loss of the rifle that dark ened the sky of the minimizing child. The mother faced in dumb misery an infinitely greater tragedy.
 Not one word of the above is fiction. Tt Is all the hideous truth! And yet not 10 miles from that mans home is the James Sanatorium, for the cure of such as he. Three weeks treatment would send him back to his home a new man, and brink light from heaven once more to all Its darkened win dOWs.

another play, which lasted until he had lost back the $5000 he had won
 His only comment was: That was a pretty costly cigar
 Tn 1882 Slater was worth nearly $250,- GOO, and in that year he bought the mag niflcent residence at the corner of Balti- more and Chester streets, now the prop erty of George Gunther. He remodeled the house, fitting 1t up in royal style built fine stables and laid out handsome grounds.
 ''The acquisition of this property and his political expenditures made a big hole in his bank roll. It is said that one elec- tion 20 years ago cost him SS000.
 Slater was very charitable and no worthy cause ever appealed to him In vain. Many a market basket he filled every Saturday. He contributed libcrally to many institutions. On one occasion he sent $500 to the Young Mems Christian association, but that was sent back probably regarded as tainted money
 Toward the end of his career fortune was not so bountiful in Ter favors, and when he died Slater was in rather. close quarters financially.
 While perhaps Byrne, Cocley and Slater will always be picked as repre- sentative men, there were many others of the old-timers entitled to mention.
 Prominent among these was Sam Caughy of the well known Caughy f2riii- ly. He dealt big game on Fayette street, and for a while divided supremacy with Bryne.
 Tn 1852 when the national convention that nominated Franklin Pierce for Pres ident was held in Baltimore at the Mary land institute Caughy was in his prime, and his nome was hcadcuarters for the delegates. During Chat convention George Freehurrrcr dealt a big game in the house called "rhe Old Dog Tray at the corner of Fayette and Little Sharp streets.
 ''Caughy afterward opened a house in Washington much resorted to by con- gressmen and statesmen The famous eeorae T.nw was one of the patro"s of Caughy's house and he played them high. lie seldom had much cash with him, but would make out his l. O. U. for SJ10 or sl0wn and stake it on single turn.
 "Jarles. or, as he is better known. Jim Gamble, was another of the oid-timers who Is cn.iteR to place in the front rank Gamble still survives. the last of the old guard. and despite his years which have reached far beyond the scrip tural limit, he is still active in body and alert of mind as q youth of 20. Gamble has seen the sporting game from every angle--north, east, south and west.
 "Early in youth he took to the sporting lifc. The veteran tells with considerable eieo of the attempt his father made to erorn him.
 "When l was a youngster,' said he, .about 2l or % my father took me to task one day T hear, James, said he, that you are r,ixed up in cockfighting nd gambling. Now if you will give up Ill that I will buy you stable of race horses l accepted the old gentleman's offer and took the horses l never won a heat or race with them and they finally broke me-.
 "Gamble's career covers wide range from the early part of the last century
