LITTLE INTEREST TAKEN
IN THE CITY PRIMARIES

Little interest is being taken in the
Democratic primary election in progress
today. At the Central fire station,
where the vote is usually heaviest. there
were but Ga votes polled at 1880 D. m.
The vote is also very light in the other
voting places throughout the city, as
there is no opposition to the S'ring"
ticket.
The added starters in the primary for
the offices of chairman and members of
the Democratic city executive COMMITTEES
are: ]. B. Brady for reelection as
chairman. Judge T. A. Falvey, c. B. Pat.
terson, W. L. Peabody and j. F. Primm
for committeeman.

MIA Independent of every outside au

statement by Gen. Leyva, when it was
reported that Madero was headed this
way.
Leyva said: I should be glad to see
Madero, but he is not my boss"
It is certain that If Madero came to
lower California to established a pro-

with opposition from both Leyva and
Berthold.
