HOW IT Will WORK
New Primary Law Will Be Tried
August 4.
1t Is Very Much Like General
Election.
SHOULD VOTE EARLY.
May Be Blockade in Some Big
City Precincts.
NJ ~
MOULD VOTE EARLY.
Makes Complete Revolution in
the Party Machinery.

Tuesday. August 4, 1908, is Primary
Election Day for the state of Kansas.
The polls open at every election pre-
cinct at a. m. and close at 6 D. M,
the same as at a general election. In
general the laws which govern the
holding Of a general election also gov
ern the holding Of the primary.
Vote early" should be the motto at
this first trial of the primary law. No
one knows exactly how the primary
will work. The ticket which is pre-
scented to the voters Of the various
parties is long and somewhat compli-
Gated. 1t may take longer to vote than
at regular election. Some tests have
been made, and 1t is claimed that it
requires about five minutes for the av-
erage voter to make out his ballot.
Some voters will take much longer.
Hence there is likely to be blockade
of voters during the hours just before
the closing of the polls. especially in
the larger cities of the state. Those
who are wise will go to the polls in
the morning, and avoid any difficulty
and danger.
Everyone is waiting to see how the
primary law will work. Old time poll
ticians are guessing almost as wildly
on results as are those who claim no
political acumen. Some predict that
dIter having tried the primary plan,
everybody will be Disguised, and will
demand a return to the convention
system. Others say that the law is
sure to stay, but may be amended
from time to time in some details, as
experience indicates to be necessary. No
one Is confident that the law will prove
to be an unqualified success. the first
time. .
Some Things the Primary Law De-
mands.
In the first place. the new primary
election law makes it impossible for
members of one party. or Independents,
to come in and dominate the primary
of another party.
When the voter goes to the voting
place on August 4, he will find every
thing arranged as for general cleo
ton. II in city. he will be asked to
give his name and residence. and il he
is found to be legally registered voter

In addition we are to give an endurance test, keeping 1t in the air one hour. have perfect con- fidencs in the aeropiane and I assure you 1t will stand the test. It will make forty miles an hour and we can re- main in the air until the fuel gives out or the motor becomes heated. Neither win happen within an hour. Tn September, 1905, We made a flight lasting thirty eight minutes and cov- ering twenty-four miles. That is the longest we have ever remained in tho air.

 ResofutioRs in Favor of Mimers, Grlevances

Fairley, Alabama member of the National Board. and District Presi- dent John Kennamer, in the manage ment of the strike in the Alabama coal fields, will forward a report immedi- ately to the national headquarters as to the situation here.
 The national organization is supply ing a large amount of money in the conduct of the strike here, and the Yice-President has been looking over all accounts. He declines any state- ment as to the future. FairieY Ken manner and District Secretary Clemo have been in close touch with White since his arrival in the city.
 While many peeople have been ex- pectinE some definite statement from the miners headquarters in regard to the strike, the only thing given out today by District President Kennamer was copy of resolutions adopted by the Farmsfs' Union of St. Clair Coun- ty, in which the statement is made that there Is justice in the pleas of the miners.

NOVEL DEFENSE IS MADE
 BY ALLEGED EMBEZZLER

New Orleans. Aug. I2.-Somewhat of A novel defense was made in the First City Criminal Court today by John R. Petrich, formerly cashier of the Postal Telegraph Company in this city. when he was placed on trial on the charge of having stolen si0.0o0 from that com pany about a year ago.
 Petrich claims that during the strike of operators employed by the Postal Telegraph Company during 1907, the concern received messages and charged full tolls on them and then sent them all or part of the way by. mail. After making this point, his counsel set forth the claim that such money collected did not lawfully belong to the Postal Telegraph Company and, therefore. the company could not charge embezzle- ment when Petrich's shortage occurred during the strike.
 Petrich left New Orleans when the shortage was discovered, but was later arrested in New Mexico and brought back for trial. A verdict in the case is expected tomorrow.

TILLMAN NOMINATED
FOR GOVERNOR OF TENNESSEE BY
 REPUBS.
Platform As Adopted Aai<es Frequent Appeals to Disgruntled Democrats Party stands For Stnte-
 wide Prohibition.

Nashville. Tenn. Aug. i2-George H. Tillman of Davidson County the gubernatoriai nominee of that part or the Republican party In tennessee known as the Evans faction
 He was nominated by acclamatloh today at the close of the second He- publican state Convention held m Tennessee this week. Great enthusiasm marked the nomination of Tillman anp the adoption of a platform contain ing a plank providing for statewioe prohibition of the liquor traffic through extension of what is known as the touF mile law.
 Like Mir. Tillman. Marion Richardson of Lawrence County, the nominee Tor Railroad Commissioner. was not op- posed for the honor. The state exc cutIve committee was reorganized. E "A. Haggard of Wayne County was temporary chairman and c. N. Cate of Cooke County was permanent presid- ing officer.
 The utmost harmony prevailed throughout. The nomination of Mir. Tillman makes two Republican candi- dates in the field for governor of Ten nessee. Hon. T .Asbury Wright was nominated by the Home Rule faction at Chattanooga Monday.
 The platform adopted today makes frequent appeals to disgruntied Demo crats if such there be. Statewide pro- hibitIon is the keynote of the plat form. Besides fayoring the extension of the four-mile law 1t comes out strong against the Jug" trade.
 Governor Patterson's administration Is condemned. the national Republican party and It's platform of this year are giorified and the voters of Tennessee regardless of previous party affiliations are invited to support the candidate mitted for their approval or disapprov- al
 Election machinery" as 1t Is said to exist at present In Tennessee is com demned: registration and election laws are declared to have been employed for purposs of party perpetuation and ertrenchment and the enactment of q general. statewide primary law is urg- ed.
 The present apportfonment of repre- sentatlves and senators in the general assembly Is declared to be unfair. The platform calls for a liberal educational policy on the part of the state but urges that extravagant expenditures should not be allowed.
 The administration of President Roosevelt and the candidacy Of W. H. Taft arc endorsed.

 It Is planned to have the text book published by the first of next month {. Josephus Daniel. head of the literary bureau of the National Committee. and a member of the Text Book Commit tee. said today:
 The platform is the party's charter. and points favorably to each of the various blanks will be depicted clearly in the text book.
 The book will not be laden with wearisome figures and tables but each plank will be illumined with favorable comments. not only from the Demo- cratic press and from Democratic statesmen, but from Republican sources as well ]"
 Mir. Bryan feels that the committee has devised the most available plan for bringing out the issues clearly and impressfveiy so that the campaign speakers will be not only well-fortified with the subject tier of their speeches, but will convey the spirit of the blanks with force to their auditors.
 Members of the Text Book Committee met today and apportioned the work of assembling the contents of the campaign books Mir. Daniels and John D.
