For Governor.
THIRD PARTY WILL PUT TICKET
IN FIELD AGAINST EbERHART
No Opposition Will be Made by Third
Party Against Senator Nelson
Should he be Nominatcd-Returns
Will be Late.

3d.. il, Sept. 1.-THE first state
wide primary election in Minnesota
for the direct nomination Of state Of
f1cers and United States Senators is
being held throughout the state today.
The polls opened at 6 o'clock and will
close tonight at 3 o'clock. 1t is an
ticipated the returns will be slow COM
ing in and the candidates for state Of
ficers have little hope of learning their
fate before Wednesday,. In Hennepin
county (Minneapolis) where the larg-
est vote will be cast, it was announc-
ed this morning that the county ball.
lots will be counted before the state
tickets.
There are four candidates for the
republican nomination for governor
and upon the outcome of today's con-
test will depend the determination of
ticket in the field. according to Hugh
T. Hallbert, chairman of the progress
sive state central committee, in a
statement given out this morning.
There are three progressive can
didates for governor" said Hallbert,
with Governor Eberhart receiving the
united 'standpat' vote. Owing to the
fact that the progressive party has no
legal existance in this state under the
laws of Minnesota-thousands of pro-
gressives will not VOTE. This would in
dicate that Eberhart will be renomi-
mated. In that case, the progressives
undoubtedly will place third party
ticket in the field. If the other nomi-
nees for state Offices are progressives
they will not be opposed by third
party. Senator Nelson, in case he
should be renominated. may not be
opposed by the progressive party"

Ing daily newspap pers. but it will affect

these publications are having a hard
struggle for existence and will find the
making of returns a considerable bur-

I'm my judgment-and so express
led 1t to the congress-the provision
will be harmful, as it will require the
continuous use of valuable space in the
publication and at the same time be
resented as a censorship Of the press.
One of the greatest difficulties now
encountered in the enforcement of the
privilege is that the postoffice depart
ment is compelled by law to make in
quiry into so many aspects Of the pri-
vate business of publishers. This gives
rise to the complaint-ill founded. in
my opinion-that the government in
terferes needlessly with the PRIVILEGES

should be the constant aim. not only
Of the congress. but Of the postoffice

Of Captain Boyce. The killing took
place in front Of the First Methodist
church here. Sneed was disguised as
q farmer. wearing dirty overalls and
beard and carrying double-barerled
shotgun. One load was fired through
Boyce's body at close range.
Today's killing is the tragic climax
Of a series Of startling events which
began when AL Boyce eloped last win
ter with Mrs. Lena Sneed. wife of the
slayer. Mrs. Sneed just before her
elopment had been placed in Fort
Worth sanitarium by her husband.
When the couple eloped Boyce car

Young Boyce had been in Amarillo
only one week. 1t was not known
that j. 3. Sneed was in the city SO
completely had he hidden his identity.
AL Eoyce until he came mere a week
ago was running big ranch in west
ern Canada. He had not recognized
Sneed on the street and his death was
instant. .Sneed Immediately surren-
dered and refused to make any state
ments.

Both Families Rich.
Sneed shot the elder Boyce while he
was sitting III the lobby of the Metro

the elder Boyce was instrumental in
causing his wife to elope with the
younger Boyce. There are three other
Boyce brothers. all rich cattle men
At the trial last winter Lynn Boyce
attempted to attack both Sneed and
one of his attorneys bu was overpow-
cred. AL Boyce. the slain man. was a
cowboy, cattle man and expert shot.
For a long time Mrs. Sneed refused
to have anything to do with her hus-
band and refused to testify in his be-
half at the trial. When she and
Boyce were arrested in Winnipeg she
refused to accompany her husband
back to Texas. and at first insisted
that she would cling to Boyce and go
with him to his western Canadian
ranch.
Both the Boyce and sneed families
are very wealthy. Before they went to
