THE PRIMARIES
NEXT TUESDAY
Very Little Interest in the
Campaign
Lack of Contests in County
Will Mean a Very Light
Vote.

Next Tuesday is primary election
day. 1t is anticipated that the vote
in this county will be small. This is
because of the fact that there are no
spirited contests for any of the county
offices. The nominees on the Re-
publican ticket will be elected at the
November election. The only con-
tests in the Republican ranks for
places on the official ballot at the
November election is for the office of
Member of the Assembly and District
Attorney. Both the candidates for
Mem Der of Assembly are well known
to the voters of the county. No
aggressive fight is being waged for
the office and the voters will be Civ
en- an opportunity to express their
choice, without great deal of in
huence. The candidates stand for
practically the same thing. Mr..
Peavey of this city takes more de-
termined stand in favor of some
radical amendment to the income tax
law, while Mr.. Rogan favors fair
trial of the law to the end that if any
defects are apparent, they may be
remediei. District Attorney Alvord
is being opposed by Attorney Charles
Merris of Iron River. Mr.. Morris
has served one term as District
Attorney of this county. He was a
candidate four years ago and two
years ago, losing out by narrow
margin. Neither Mr.. Alvord or Mr..
Morris are doing great deal of
campaigning. The Socialists have al
most complete ticket in the field.
They expect to make some gains
in the county this year. The voting
will be done in this city at the Brick
building at the foot of Washington
avenue, and this will be the polling
place for all wards. The polls will
be open from 900 o'clock in the
morning until $3.50 in the afternoon.

road will be overhauled dur
ing the entire distance and will
be put in fine shape by Mr.. Oh
son and his crews. The crew
have established camp near
the Oscar farm on the Ashland
road so that they can be close to
the work.

ment of the Fair Association.are
doing everything in their power
to make this one of the biggest
and best fairs that has ever
