Imperfect track scales throughout
the state also have caused many de.
ficiencies in weights, according to
Commissioner Staples. Scales have
been found which were more than
II, 600 pounds "off." One track scale
on the Northwestern line at New Ulm
was found to be 18, pounds of
standard. A track scale on the
Omaha line at the st. Paul Brick &
Wheel Works was l9, 100 pounds off.
"There has been q decided improve
ment since We started making tests, "
Mr.. Staples concluded. The railroad
companies are anxious to have their
scales correct. There are twelve test
ing cars in this state, owned and
operated by the roads. These cars
are oil similar to the 100000 pound
car operated by the state.
Mr.. Staples believes some state de-
partment should take up the task OF
overseeing weights on all railroad
track scales. Ultimately, be said, he
believed the railroads would have to
weigh each Car before lobding It.
They should not be permitted to send
out cars for loading which are in need
Of repair. ....,zr,.~.. s,.s. .-.-r-

Primary Election Quiet Affair.

Yesterday, primary election day,
lacked all enthusiasm. The weather
while disagreesble was really the kind
that should bring q great number OF
voters to the polls because most of
the workingmen and farmers we're un-
able to work and had, therefore,
mple time to attend the primary
election, but there was apathy appar-
ent everywhere, due largely to the
ia ct that there were no contests to
speak of in which local candidates
were interested. The only contest was
for commissioner in the LIST district on
the Republican ticket where Graf and
Schnobrich we're opposing each other.
At 2:30 p. M, just before going to
press, 126 votes had been cast in the
1st ward. OF these about q dozen were
cast by the Public Ownership Party
and of the balance the Republicans
seemed to have the advantage.
In the second ward rs ballots had
been cast, 40 Republican, 30 Demo-
crat and S Public Ownership.
In the third ward IS ballots had
been cast. The Democrats seemed to
be in the lead. with the Republicans q
close second and about 5 votes for the
Public Ownership Party. In neither
ward had q Prohibitionlst vote been
cast at that hour.
The polls were kept open till
O'Clock last night and it is barely
possible that close on to 500 votes
were cast in all.
DR.. J. p. Graf is expected to win
out in the commissioner fight. We
predict that P. M. Ringdal will get
the bulk of the Democratic votes for
Governor; that Eberhart will prove
The strongest candidate in the city
among the Republican gubernatorisl
and that Judge I. M. Olsen
will have an almost unanimous vote.
