DICK WOODS, the irrepressible, Gem

street yesterday afternoon talking about
the weather. Dick said he was CON-
missjoned by Governor nominate Egan
to ascertain how many Elk Point poll.

Gov. Egan's staff. He offers to sell his
Vessey uniform cheap, retire from
politics and GO to raising squabs.

WANT TO KEEP WARM7 GO UP
Jump in Your Aeroplane and Soar
46 Degrees Warmer, Says the
Weather Man.

"If you want to keep warm do not
go south; go up.
Jump in balloon, aeroplane, any
old flying machine. Soar to an alti-
tude of several thousand feet and en-
Joy a balmy atmosphere"
The government weather sharps
gave this advice most seriously. They
say the severity OF the recent cold
wave is confined to the earth's sur.
face. The higher the altitude the
higher the temperature. Meteorolog.
ical kites at height of $500 feet
register a temperature about 46 de
grees higher than at the earth's sur.
face.

Does He Ever Eat?

Faithful as the watchdog that re-
mained on guard until he was but a
shadow, Jim Mann. the most per-
sistent (but not insistent) objector
the house has known In years, is ever
on the alert, and few pages of the
house proceedings arc published that
do not show his name in print. Does
Jim Mann ever eat?" asked a man In
the gallery, who had watched him in

AS WEI GO to press the dispatches
state that there IS little more chance
that Gov. Vessey will pull through and
the final count show Egan q good
second. This is entirely based on esti-
mates and is probably incorrect. All
the rest Of the stalwart ticket, includ-
Ing congressman, are almost certainly
nominated. 1t may be several days be-
fore the returns are complete enough
to place the governorship beyond
doubt.

A NOMINEE for county Office on the
democratic ticket said TO US yesterday
that perhaps in the end the nomination
of Egan would be he best thing that
ever happened to the republican party
in this state. 1t certainly will require
something pretty drastic to bring the
insurgents to tneii senses and We sure
ly have got it this time.

UNION COUNTY PRIMARY
Full Result on State and County
Candidates
AREC0RD OFSURPRISESFOR ALL

The June primary of 1910, which wi
! go down into history as the Wateslot
OF all political prophets, has come and
gone. Nobody ever dreamed or dared
prophesy that Egan would poll more
votes 10 UniOn county than EIrod, We,
such Is the case. Although the re-
publican vote is not quite as large rs
two years ago, Egxn seems to have
drawn more largely from the stalwarl
republican ranks than from the pro-
gressives, with some help from demo
Gratis who voted in the republican pri-
mary for Egan.
The rain Monday night made it bad
to work in the fields and it was
thought for this reason that the rural
vote would be large. Such, however.
does not seem to have been the case.
Not quite thousand republican votes
were cast in the county, the democratic
vote being mere sprinkling. They
had ticket in the field, however,
different from their policy two years
ago. so that there will not be very
much for the July conventions to do.
Below We give the Complete, unoffi-
cial returns from every precinct in the
county. The official count will be made
Saturday, but it will not vary in any
particular probably from this report.
Next week, as is the custom with the
COURIER, we expect to give our read
ers the complete, official count, Oh
every candidate, in every precinct in
the county.
