THE PRIMARY ELECTION
TUESDAY JUNE 7, 1910
Candidates Must File The Nomination
Papers From Fifteen To Forty
Days Prior To That Date.

AS stated in the heading of this arti-
Gle, the Primary Election will occur
this year on Tuesday, June Z, which is
less than two months from this time.
AS yet but little has been done toward
seeking nominations as far as any one
can see or hear In fact there seems to
be o great dearth of candidates OF
course it is expected that a number of
the present officials will stand again for
a second term and will be nominated
as they should be, without opposition.
For the other places no one has made
announcement, except Howard Kittell
for the office of treasurer.
We call attention to these things for
the reason that the time for filing NOM
ination papers will pass very soon. The
law provides that mo candidate for
an elective county Office shall have his
name printed upon the official primary
ballot of his party unless at least thirty
days prior to the day fixed for holding
the primary election nomination pa
per shall have been filed in his behalf
in the office of the county auditor. !"
And candidate for representative in
the general assembly must file at least
forty days before the primary. This
makes it necessary for candidate for
representative to file on or before April
81, or two weeks from yesterday All
candidates for county offices must file
on or before May Z, which is now only
three weeks away. So it behooves all
who intend to become candidates to get
a move on themselves pretty soon. The
blank nomination papers may be pro
cured from the county auditor.
Candidates for office in any territory
less than county need not file any
nomination papers but must file an
ffidavit in the office of the auditor at
least fifteen days before the primary.

PRESIDENT TAFT
DELIVERS ADDRESS
Before Republican League, And He
Declares That Nobody Is Being
Read Out OF The Party.

On Saturday night President Taft
made an address before the League OF
Republican Clubs of the District OF
Columbia and in measure at least
sounded a keynote for the coming cans
paign, Among other things he said:
Tonight we are reading nobody out
of the party. We want them all in the
ranks and they have opportunity TO es
tablish their claim to republicanism
by that which they shall do in both
houses of congress by helping to enact
the legislation now before them With
all due Difference to the distinguished
members of the senate and house who
surround me" here he continued, u
want to say / think this is not exactly
the time for speaking except in the two
houses of the legislature. This is a time
for doing things. The time has come
for doing, voting and passing measures
which have been placed before congress-
After congress has adjourned the repub-
lican party will have formed its lines of
attack. Then will it be furnished with
weapons with which we are going into
the next contest. Tonight we are read
ing nobody out of the republican party
Those in the senate and house who stand
for the legislation we seek in order. to
redeem the pledges of the party have a
right to stand with the party as repub
licans. If they do not we won quarrel
with them. They have a right to their
opinions but we desire their aid as re,
publicans and L do not wish to assume
that they are not as siucere as | hope
am myself in republicanism. The re,
publican party is not rigid in its de
mands. 1t is SO broad and liberal that
it permits opinions.
But when the evidence is shown that
a member of the party does not desire
the success of the republican party and
is unwilling to redeem the party's pledge
and takes position which indicates he
does not desire the success of the party,
the label he bears is not republicanism
We have gone n long way in congress
and hope that there is but month or
two left, but in that time much is to be
done and much is to be shown as to the
character and identity of those who be
long to the republican party | want
everybody in the ranks. | want the
help of all republicans even if some may
have slipped away little. l want them
all back to help that grand old party
upon which the real progress of the
country depends.

SENATOR GARST
RUNS FOR GOVERNOR
Hoping To Get The Nomination And
Prevent Governor Carroll From
Securing His Second Term.

Senator Garst of Coon Rapids has an
ernor before the primaries on June Z,
1910, hoping to prevent Governor Car
roll from getting second term. Warren
Garst is capable man and did the state
good service in the senate for three or
four terms. He has served as lieutenant
governor and when Governor Cummins
resigned to go to the senate he filled out
the unexpired term of six weeks. In all
of these places he acquitted himself
with credit. Under ordinary circum-
stances we could give him hearty sup
port for the position he is seeking and
weregret to see him candidate at this
time. We are sure it is against his bet
ter judgment and that he enters the
race because of the Importantly of many
friends to whom he is under obligation.
Governor Carroll was nominated over
Senator Garst two years ago and is now
serving his first term in that office which
he is filling with honor to himself and
the state. According to the custom of
the party he should be accorded the
nomination for second term without
opposition. We think Mr.. Garst will
conclude before the campaign is over
that his candidacy has been urged not
so much in his own behalf as in the in
terest of the senators and representatives
who are afraid of being turned down at
the state convention. If Senator Garst
shall get the nomination we can give
him earnest support for his election.
But Governor Carroll should have the
customary second term and we believe
he will get it by good majority.

INDIANA ENDORSES TAFT

At the Republican State Convention
of Indiana the President was endorsed
by the following plank in the platform:
1--WE recognize that no president in
our history ever began his administra-
ton with such universal favor and good
will as did William Howard Taft; few
men have entered the presidency with
such extraordinary training. We en-
dorse his administration and pledge to
him our support in any efforts to secure
the enactment of genuine progressive
legislation"

although it was a terrific strain, but
was always willing TO try to make
the weight in order TO not miss the
fight. At one time he was both light
weight and welterweight champion.
He was considered by the great.

the best combination of hitter, boxer

After his last battle with Battling
Nelson Cans went West. and reports

Called on.

Philadelphia. Pa, August LITTLE
surround contest between sam Lang
ford and Al Kaufman, scheduled for
tonight on the grounds Of the Phil
adelphia National League Baseball
Club, was today called of, because
OF disagreement over the division
of the receipts. Langford, who re-
fused 20 fight, forfeits $3.50 which
will be divided between Kaufman
and Harry +. Edwards. Of this city,
the promoter OF the bout.
After the bout was postponed last
evening, Joe Woodman. I.angford' s
manager, notified Edwards that
Langford would not fight Kaufman
tonight, but was willing to sign
again for a bout next Wednesday
night The reason given was that
Langford would not be in the best
condition after a lay-off of twenty
four hours, and that his reputation
was too Valuable 10 risk that way.
4 hasty conference was held. AMI
when Billy Delaney, Kaufman's train
er, ridicuied the excuse given, Wood
man stated that the negro would
agree TO go on tonight If guaranteed

FOR a percentage. Edwards asked
time to consider the matter, and to-
day announced that he would not
agree to the proposition, and called
the bout OF. An effort was made to
have another heavyweight meet
Kaufman, but Edwards would not
listen to IL.
Edwards was incensed at the turn
in affairs. and declared that Lang

CAPTURED AFTER HOT CHASE
Fight in the Stable of Luck & Smith
May Result in Fatality

Joseph Allen and Ryland Hicks,
both colored ex-convicts, were ar
rested Sunday morning shortly after
4 O'Clock by officer d. F. Puryear
and W. J. James for fighting in the
shed OF the Luck 6 Smith livery
stable, Scott's addition, West Broad
Street, where they were employed.
Hicks's skull was fractured In the
fray and on account OF his serious
condition, it is not yet known when
the trial will be held.
Squire J. T. Puryear was called
from his downy couch about 4 o'clock
Sunday morning by a telephone mes
sage from W. j. James, who lives
near the livery stable of Luck &

trouble, and plenty OF IL, going on

who is an officer of the law, and
together they went to the scene of
action.
On arriving at the stable, they
found Mr.. James holding the two
negroes at bay with a shotgun. As
soon as the officer appeared Allen
made a dash for the back window
OF the shed in which the fight oc-
Cured, jumped out, leaped two

| Several shots were fred at Allen by
the officers and after a chase OF three
hundred yards or more they captured

, county jail, and DR.. Marvin Nuckols
was called TO examine Hicks.
DR.. Nuckols found that Hicks's
skull had been fractured by a large
rock with which Allen mad struck
him. The wound is a rather serious
and aggravating one, but DR.. Muck

PICTURESQUE FIGHTER.

In all the annals of pugilism
there is no record of a more remark
able or picturesque fighter than that
OF Joe Cans. For nearly twenty years
he was almost constantly in the
prize ring, and up until his final
defeat by Battling Nelson in 1908,
was Justly deemed one OF the most
scientific, aggressive and game fight
ers that ever donned the gloves.
Cans often declared he did not
know his exact age. He reckoned
that 1S74~was about the year OF his
birth. He began fighting in an anna
flourish way about 1890. For the fol
lowing ten years he engaged in over
125 battles, easily defeating men
OF minor reputation. Had he been
directed Alright at the time he would
have easily forged TO the front and
became champion years before he
finally achieved that coveted distinc-
ton.
The trouble was Cans became mix
ed up with his manager in a series
of 'Iayrdown" or fake fights. in
which he might readily have gained
the victory, but IN which--as he al
