ONLY TWO TICKETS
IN THE PRIMARIES
All Other Candidates Must
be Independent.
The Question is Raised by the Report
of Mass Meeting of Prohibitionists
of the City.

A question has been raised within
the past few days as to whether or
not the Prohibition party will be al
lowed to present a ticket at the fall
election. The board of electors has
received no petitions from Prohibi-
ton candidates and some hold that
the party cannot be represented on
the ballot.
Upon investigating the matter it
was learned that according to the
new primary laws there can be only
two parties before the people for pri-
mary election and those shall be the
two receiving the most votes at the
election. As the Democratic and Re-
publican parties are recognized as
the leading parties, all others will b,
known as Independents and can nom
mate their leaders in mass conven-
tion. The new primary laws do not
eliminate the right of Independent
candidates to COME before the people,
but only two parties can be repre-
sented in the primary election.
The question was raised after the
Prohibtionists announced that they
would hold a mass convention Thurs
day evening August, 26th at Z o'clock
III the Office of j. b. Bolander, for the
purpose Of nominating a city and
township ticket. The candidates will
be nominated by acclimation and the
party leaders will be recognized as
Independent candidates.
