Programme.

The first presidential preference pri- maries sver held in Rhode Island will be voted at the democratic caucuses next Friday, and the official ballot is made up in simple form to avoid con-
 lsion. The names of candidates are arranged in three rows, the row at the
 ight contains the names of candi dates for the presidency and the left those of national committee candi- dates. The middle column Is made up or the names of % candidates as dele gates to the Baltimore convention. The presidential candidates are Champ Clark Woodrow Wilson and Judson Harmon, and for national committee men George F. O'Shaunnessy and George W. Greene. In voting for dele gates the voter can select but ten names of the %. and, of course, only one for commi tteeman and president.
 The ballots will be distributed to the town and ward committees this week, the rules requiring that the dis tribution be made on or before the day of the primaries. The chairmen of these committees have absolutely no authority to open these ballots, which will be sealed, that right being given only to the moderator or warden of the primary The rule also requires that -he ballots must be unsealed in open caucus and any violation of this rule will be considered sufficient reason for throwing out all ballots cast at any primary in which this rule is violated. All primaries will be conducted by check lists and without such a list it will be regarded as an attempt at un- fairness and may result in the invali- dation of the whole caucus action.
 In the cities the primaries will open at 3 and close at 10 in the evening, and in towns, including Westerly, the eau GUS will be in session from 3 to D. m. The vote will be counted by the moderator and clerk and return made 10 state democratic headquarters in Providence.
