NEW PRIMARY LAW.

The new primary law extends the
operation of the popular primary to
all state offices and abolishes all
state conventions. 1t changes the
law in regard to the holding of pri-
maries in many respects.
Provisions of the Act.
The main provisions of the act are
as follows:
State committeeman shall be elect
ed by popular vote and shall have
the power to elect national commit
teemen unless the party rules pro-
vide otherwise.
Under the terms of the act a poll
tical party is defined as follows: An
organization polling in each of at
least ten counties, not less than
per cent. of the largest entire vote
of any elected candidate in each of
said counties and polling a total in
the state equal to 2 per cent. of the
largest vote in the state for any
elected state candidate.
A political party in a county is:
Any organization that polls at the
preceding municipal or general cleo
tion at least 5 per cent of the largest
vote cast for any elected candidates
in the county.
Hereafter the Spring primary shall
be on the third Tuesday in May in
even numbered years and the Fall
primary shall be on the third Tues
day of September in odd numbered
years.
Next primary dates are September
16, 1913, and May 10, 1914.
This act does not apply to nomi-
nations to fill vacancies at special
elections, unless such special election
shall be held on the same day as the
regular elections. Otherwise, nomi-
nations are to be made under party
rules.
Election of Delegates.
Delegates and alternates to ma
| tional conventions must be elected
at the Spring primary only. State
committeeman must be elected first
at Fall primary of 1913, but there
after at the Spring primaries. How
ever, state committeeman, now in
office, who have been elected by
county committee, shall hold over
until 1914.
The state chairman of each party,
on the ninth Tuesday before the
Spring primary, must notify the
county commissioners of every coun-
ty as to what party offices are to be
filled at the Spring primary. Coun-
ty chairmen must do the same on
the ninth Tuesday before each Fall
primary.
"A ballot must not be rejected by
, the election officers unless it is absg-
, lutely impossible to determine the
choice of the voters. A whole bal
lot must not be thrown out because
of a mistake upon one office, but
only the vote on the particular Of

An unique robbery was pulled
off in Latrobe few nights ago.
Ratners, hat dealer, was having a
dollar sale and had a number of dol
lar bills stuck in hats in his display
window. They were left in over
night and somebody took one with
out breaking into the store. The
plate glass was puttied together at
the angle and the thief scraped some
of the putty off, put piece of chew
ing gum on the end of a wire and
stuck it through the crack. One of
the bills stuck to the gum and didn't
drop until it was close to the floor.
Some more putty was then scraped
off and the bill taken through. For
some reason the fishing stopped be-
fore any more were taken.
Candidates who wish to put the
momentous question up to the peo-
pie will have to file their petitions
with the county commissioners by
August 25 and due notice to that eff
feet will go out from the commits
sioners' Office early this week. Aug.
2S, September 2 and September 13
are the days fixed for registration
in the city and September 16, three
days after the last registration day,
is the primary election. This means
that no petitions to get upon the
books may be received by the COM
missioners between the last registra-
ton day and the primaries, for the
registration books will have to go
TO the polls on Monday, following
the final day for the sitting of the
registrars.

SMALLPOX SCARE
STARTS FROM OFFICE
OF WESTERN UNION
Bad news travels fast

Thursday morning, circus day, the
report spread rapidly about town tina;
the circus people had the small pox
1t was definitely stated that there
were four cases. OF course after a
rumor of this sort is repeated a few
times 1t grows and assumes varying
shapes. and before long the story wen,
that the health officer here had been
asked by the health officers in Pueblo
to put the circus in quarantine.
The story went like a prairie fire.
The vegetable man had 1t and It made
an interesting story OF conversation
for his early morning calls. The
school boys had it and so the story
grew and was passed about town.
through the school children. the
trades people and back and forth over
the garden fence.
The statement was made that a tel
egram had been received In town
telling these varying facts.
A telegram had been received in
town intimating something of this
sort but the interesting thing about
the story is the fact that 1t had spread
all over the town before the telegram
had been received by the party It was
delivered to.
In the morning the Western Union
had delivered such p telegram TO The
Record office. The editor of The Rec
ord was out SO the telegram wasn't
opened until after two o'cock. BY that
time many people In town had heard
the rumor and were excited about the
small pox scare.
The telegram received by The Rec
ord read as follows:
Please state there Is only four
cases OF small pox with Barnes Show.
tslgneO DIR. B. MooRY.
Show Doctor"
The telegram showed on its face that
1t was a fraud sent out by some mali
cious person with intent to do harm.
SO it was laid aside and nothing said
about IL.
BY noon the rumor had gone SO far
that The Record Office started an in
yestigation to find the source of it
fearing that there might be something
to it after all.
II soon found out that no other tel
gram had been received in town and
that the small pox reports had started
from the Western Union office.
In the mean time DR.. Holmes. city
health officer. had been called up so
many times about the matter that he
made an investigation but found moth
ing wrong.
1t turned out that the telegram had
been sent by a discharged employe
who had threatened the day before
that he would small pox the show"
This is a common trick played by un-
principled people who want to do a
show some harm.
Nothing wouiu ever have been
known about It and no harm would
have been done the show or anybods
else II the story had not leaked oct
from the Western Union office.
