GIANT BRIDGE MENACE SEEN.
Exposed Electrified Wire Starts Fire
on Brooklyn Structure.

New York, July pa serious menace
to the safety of the Brooklyn bridge
and the other big East river bridges
here has been called to the attention
of the city's engineers by fire which
started on the Brooklyn bridge last
night from an exposed electric feed
wire. The high power current carried
by the wire ate it's way in a few mo-
ments through a IA inch steel girder,
melting portions of the metal for ten
feet of it's length. According to the
engineers, a similar occurrence might
at any time sever or weaken one of
the giant strands which sustain the
spans of the structure. causing a dis
aster of huge proportions.
There were no serious consequences

Notice to Republicans
Something About the Primary
August z, 1910.

The primary for the nomination of
state and county candidates will be
held August 2. 1910. Every Republican
In the state should bear this date in
mind and not make an engagement
which win keep him from casting q
ballot on that day. The primary law
was enacted for the purpose of giving
every voter an opportunity to express
his individual choice for the different
offices. To make this primary a sue
cess and carry out the intent Of the
law it is important that every voter
realize his responsibility in the matter
and go to the polls and cast his ballot
In some counties the ballot will be
nearly a yard long, and as it is impos-
sible to vote a straight ticket as you
can at a general election each voter
should look his ballot over carefully
before he marks it. For some Of the
offices you are allowed to vote for only
one candidate while for others you can
vote for two or three. To illustrate:
There are two candidates for governor,
but you can vote only for one candi-
date, for railroad commissioner there
are ten candidates and you can vote
for three. For state treasurer there are
five candidates but you can only vote
for one. There is only one candidate
for this office whose name commences
with AZ and to my notion you should
vote for him.
1 wish to take this opportunity to
thank my many friends throughout the
state for the courtesies shown me in
able to go t. the poll and cast your
ballot for me.
r. j. ALTSwAGER.
Candidate for State Treasurer.
