w. w. Robinson, who Is Republi-
can candidate for nomination as esti-

estimator from the Eighth ward for
the past ten years, and Is regarded
as one Of the most valuable, as well

meeting adjourned, although he made

Nelson X. Rice, Of ST. Joseph, can
didate for the Republican nomination
for acknowledgements, Is In Detroit
to get acquainted with as many or the
urinary voters as possible before cleo
ton. He is making strong campaign
for the Office, and his goo drecord IN
the legislature Is p rowing a valuable
asset in his candidacy.
Still another defect in the primary
law has come to light. The law
makes no provision for the printing OF
the city and county tickets on sepa-
rate ballots. and, In consequence, both
must be printed on the same sheet.
This will lead to great deal OF con-
fusion both in the marking and In the
counting of the ballots. 1t Is sltua-
ton for which there seems no remecy
this wear but when tn Legislature
meets again the primary law Is due
for a general overhauling. Assistant
Counsel Richard |. Law
son gave City Clerk Nichols an opin'
ion covering several provisions in the
urinary law as to the meaning OF
which there was considerable uncer-
tainty. One OF the questions hub
mitted was as TO how far voter can
go In substituting names for those
printed on the ballots. In Mr.. Law
sons opinion 1t is perfectly proper
for a voter 70 scratch out the name
OF a candidate and substitute another
name by writing the latter over the
name scratched out. Mr.. Lawson has
also given an opinion that clerks and
gate-keepers must be provided at pri-
mary Just as at a general election.
