pie are not highly regarded, how
ever, and are pointed out even by

Everyone is anxious to rise carly,
but the great difficulty in accom-
plishing the feat prevents it from
becoming o popular fad To rise at

- Primary PROSPECTS,.

Fer the FIRST time in historr. tho
voters OF Illinois and several other
states viii have the privilege of
naming their choice of the presiden-
tial nominees. The preferential
presidential primary law was adopt
"a by Illinois several days ago and
today the voters will choose their
favorites by placing the "X mark
opposite the name OF either William
Howard Taft. Theodore Roosevelt or
Robert NJ. LaFcliette, Republicans,
or Champ Clark or Woodrow Wilson.
Democrats. In all probability, the
vote in cairo and part of Alexander
county win be small. The Cairo
voters have been too busy fighting
the food to think about voting and
it Is probable that many Of them
will be too busy today to visit the
polling places. Many Of, the randi-
dates--residents of Cairo--have
been helping to fight the flood since
the danger mark was reached, entire
ly neglecting their campaigns. 1t
is to be regretted that the primary
eleC ton could not be postponed for
their benefit. for it must be admitted
that campaigning Is almost essen
tial when there is opposition.
The prospects for a Democratic
victory next November are brighter
than they have been In many years.
The Republican party has eight as
pirants for the gubernatorial nomi-
nation: They are: Charles s. De
neen, Len Small, John e, W. Way
man, Charles F. Hurburgh, John J.
Brown, Walter c. Jones, ]. Mccain
Davis, and Richard Yates. The race,
it seems, is restricted to Deneen,
Small and Wayman, and If either OF
these three wins the nomination. a
victory for the Democratic party In
the November battel Is almost a GER
tainty. Congressman Thistlewood is
unopposed for nomination on the
Republican ticket. for denomination,
while the Democratic party has two
candidates in the field. They are,
Robert P. Hill, and Albert H. Evans
The local offices will be hostly con-
tested, and most interesting Of all
will be the outcome of the race be-
tween John r. Watkins and Alfred
Brown, Republicans. for circuit
clerk. Brown, who is machine"
man, was nearly defeated by Wat
kins four years ago, ana 1t Is be-
lieved that Watkins will make a
strong race this time. DR.. Z. E.
Gordon and Frederick +. Irwin are
contesting for nomination as coro-
ner on the Republican ticket, while
Edward A. Burke and DIR. James M.
McManus are running neck-and-
neck on the Democratic ticket for
the same office. For County Com
missioner the. Democratic parry has
two candidateJ, who are, Edward l..
Gilbert, and A. E. ParRer Gilbert
Is Cairo boy and his following Is
large. Despite the fact that he has
not been able to campaign, because
of a fractured knee, his friends are
optimistic and predict that he Will
carry the nomination by a fair ma
jority Three Republicans are con
testing for the same office. They
are. L. J. Hodges. Edwin J. Cause
and William b Scott. Cause Is the
present incumbent and has been
picked by the Republican leaders as
the most probable winner.

daughters had begun to take part in

hold than at a previous time, while
| the wife herself had seemed more at

Evidently the girls had discovered a
secret in influencing their father
that their mother had never bene

parents have a claim on him for
obedience while he is a child. A
mans uncles, aunts and cousins have
no claim on him at all, except for
