2E0 g1In PRIMARY
FOR COUNTY C0OlEHlIssIOUER

In the first primary Messrs. T. F.
Holbrook and N. A. Higgins ran a
pretty close race for county commits
sioner Mr. Holbrook leading BY a
small plurality. This would have
necessitated these two gentlemen en-
tering second contest. Messrs. Yates
and Hennecy being eliminated, had It
not been that a satisfactory underl
standing was reached by the leading
candidates
We are informed, however, that a
consultation between Messrs. Rig
gins and Holbrook developed the fact
that their ideas and plans for the
betterment Of conditions IN the dis
trict ana county are almost identical.
and as neither gentleman wants the
job, except az giving an opportunity
to get something done for the pub
lie good. Mr. Higgins has decided to
withdraw, leaving Mr.. Holbrook the
nominee.
This arrangement is very satisfac-
tory to an concerned. and we are
sure win bring excellent results dur
Ing Mr.. Holbrook's second term. He
has been greatly handicapped during
the current term. having very little
funds to work with, but viii Ia the
future be In : position to make q
much better showing As q matter
OF feet, al things considered, Mr.
Hoibrook's work as commissioner has
been exceedingly creditable.

TRADITIONS MAY
 BE SHATTERED Nine New York Democrats For Governor-Choice of
 Convention Uncertain.
MURPHY IS FOR DIX
Strong Opposition to Slate Candidate and Another May Be Named
 Sulzer and McAdoo Prominent.

Syracuse, x. Y., Sept. 2S.-The un- certainty that has surrounded the name of the probable Democratic nom nee for governor of New York still clouded the atmosphere when the ad- vance guard of the State delegates to the Democratic convention, which convenes here on October 1st, opened their headquarters in the hotel Onon- daga today.
 For their selection were presented the names of nine prominent New York Democrats, all of whom, accord ing to their constituents, were equal ly capable of making strong and successful fight against the guEerna- terial timber marketed by the Repub- lican and the Bull Moosers. Among these VIC. e Congressman William Sul- ger Justice Victor J. Bowling, of the Supreme Court, Attorney General Car modv. Lieut.. Governor Conway, Act ing National Chairman William G. McAdoo, State Engineer John A. Ben sol Charles E. Fireman of Ithaca and Governor John A. Dix.
 Dix was believed by many of the delegates to be first on the states, ol the hig Democratic bosses of New York. Murphy or Tammany Hall, Me Cabe of Albany and Fitzpatrick o1 Buffalo, and it was conceded that should they unite in their determlna- ton to put him over he would surely be the candidate. strong influences have been at work to circuvent such an action. however, Governor Wilson making it plain, though his spoken words here three weeks ago ano throush his agents in Democratic GIT cles that he does not regard GoVefnoi Dix as a suitable head for the New York Democratic ticket
 Next in line for the nomination are Congressman William Sulze1, Justlcf Victor J. Dowling and William G McAdoo Each of these men Woule make a strong candidate for the New York Democracy, and, according t' members Of the upstate protestants would be far prefe- able "DiX, whose administration under the Murphy ban ner has been much criticised.
 McAdoo, however. has repeatedly stated that he would not accept sucf a nomination were il tendered te him. Congressman Sulze:, on the other hand, has been put on record as perfectly willing to take the bufaehS of the State administration upon ms shoulders, and Justice bowling Is believed to be equally receptive.
 The other candidates, although
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1912-09-29

strong in their respective localities were not generally regarded as of gubernatorial timber, though a size able boom for Lieutenant Governor Conway has been nu1sed by his ad- herents.
 All precedents in New York State Democratic circles has been shatter- ed by the present tangle over the State slate particularly when there is q presidential nomination to hold attention away from local matters. It is the belief, therefore, that this is one of those extraordinary years in which cherished traditions and prece- dents may go by the board.

another night he aroused a lone wo-
man and would not leave until she
shouted for help. He appeared at the
home of G. o. Musser and, when dis

with rocks.
He has been seen and heard at
many other houses, always at a late
hour. He was seen by DR.. L. E.

Women of the town are in a state

no trace of him, even after he has
made an appearance.

CONVENTION OF THE EVIL ONE

It has been said that backache is
an invention of the evil one to try
women's souls.
Not so. Backache is a symptom of
some serious trouble which sooner or
later declares itself, either kidney
trouble or some female arrangement.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound may be relied upon to go to the
root of the trouble and quickly relieve
this most distressing symptom.
Nearly forty years of unparalleled
success proves its value in conquerfng
female ills.
