thinks VOTERS WILL
NEED MUCH MORE TINE
ATTORNEY GENERAL DECLARES
1T MAY REQUIRE Fifteen
MINUTES TO VOTE.

OLYMPIA Aug 1.-THE attorney
generals office has recently received
from prominent supporters of various
candidates for nomination at the di-
rect primary election, to be held Sept
ember 8, numerous inquiries as to how
the people might be given the oppor-
tunity and time to carefully mark
their ballots at the coming primary
election. In response to these inquir-
les Attorney General Atkinson has
written the following letter:
Unde- the general election law.
with which we are al more or less
familiar, a person desiring to vote a
straight party ticket can do so by
marking cross in the circle under
the party name for whose candidate he
wishes to vote. Many vote straight
party tickets with a few exceptions. In
either case, having had a number of
years of experience with our general
y
election law, a voter requires but a
short time in which to cast his ballot
at the November election. On the 9TH
er hand, in voting at the direct pri-
mary election, it is necessary for a
voter to mark a cross or an X OPP
posite the name of each candidate for
whom he wishes to vote. If he is to
vote intelligently he must read the bal
lot over carefully and note especially
the instructions as to second choice
This may require ten or 10 minutes
time Under the provisions of the gen.
eral election law, which are made ap-
plicable to primary elections, a voter
is not permitted to remain in booth
longer than five minutes, provided the
other booths are occupied. Under the
provisions of the general election law
the polls are to be kept open from 8
o'clock a. m. until o'clock p. m. I'm
der the provisions of our primary cleo
ton law the polls are to be kept open
from II o'clock a. m. until o'clock p.
m. or one hour less than under the
general election law.
ION an average it will probably re-
uuire two or three times as long to
properly mark primary election bal
lot as is required to properly mark a
ballot at general election.

county auditors of the state, when de-
livering to the precincts primary cleo

lots and other supplies to be used at
the direct primary election. to strongly
urge upon the primary election Off

of voters be provided at the primary

BALLOT

The entire republican primary
ballot may have to be reprinted at
considerable added expense to the
county as the result OF mandamus
proceedings against Auditor
Greene, which are now being heard
by Judge Huneke this afternoon.
J. Ora Bailey, candidate for the
republican nomination of represen-
tative from the Second district, al
leges that the primary ballot con-
tains flaws In that the space given
to his name is slightly less than
that given to others; also that the
line of demarkation between the
names and the places where the
ballot should be marked should be
heavy black line instead of a
light one; that r. e. Buchanan,
candidate for representative, used
the word member" instead of rep
resentative in filing his declaration
of candidacy; that w. D. Wheaton
and F. M. Curtis, candidates for
representative from the Second dis
trict, did not file their pledges to
support the party choice for U. s.
senator at the time of making their
declarations.
Bailey pledged himself to vote
for Jones and this was omitted
from the ballot.
r. F. Collins and w. H. Ferguson,
democratic candidates for the state
legislature from the Second dis
trict, also intend to take whack
at the ballot unless changes they
demand are made. Instead of
pledging himself to vote for the
party choice for U. S. senator. Col
Inns pledged to vote for the peo-
pies choice, regardless of party,
and Ferguson followed suit. On
the official ballots they are pledged
to vote for the party choice.
The two democrats object to
that, as they hold the candidate for
senator receiving the highest num-
Der of votes is the man the people
want and the man they will sup
port They want it so stated on

Up {. OLIVE

The board of public works has
postponed awarding the contract
for the construction of a steel
bridge on E. Olive av. until Mon
day afternoon. 1t is possible that
when the board convenes on Mon
day a report will be submitted to
the city council, as there is strong
sentiment in favor of concrete
bridge there instead of steel.
The Burrell Bridge & Construc-
ton Co., of Oakland, were the low
est bidders, with $4,000. The
Morava Construction Co. offered to
do the job at 1886 per pound OF
steel, and this may prove better
proposition than the Burrell com
pany's when City Engineer Ralston

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 29.-"Oh,
but he smells like mules" said a
high and mighty waitress at the
swell Hotel Arrowhead, In the San

WAS obliged to wait on a teamster.
The man, who had earned his
dinner by the sweat Of his brow
and his body, objected to the way
the girl referred to his perspira-
tion and broke into profanity, The
waitress appealed to the manager
to protect her from the man who
smelled and swore.
Z The manager forthwith dis
charged the teamster from the
:,zsaaeny's service and demanded
she mP eapologize to the waitress.
SEEING fired so unceremoniously,
the man refused to express regrets
for his language and his smell,
and cursed the manager. The lat
ter delivered an uppercut which put
the teamster out.
