2 city primary tickets of any of the

| yesterday with City Clerk La Roe
: with unusual promptness, The
= city clerk generally remains in his
= office until late at night on the last
- day for filing petitions, but all of the
= number were in by s o'clock last
a night and he was able to go home
early. Two more contests have de-
- veloped on the Democratic side, al
, though they are only for the offices
, of county committeeman. In the
, first district of the fifth ward
: George S. Walker will oppose AL
derman John ]. Clark, who has been
a committeeman number of years. Mr..
2 Walker is editor of a new weekly
newspaper here and has been close
, ly identified with Democratic politics
for long time. The other contest
is between Louis Smith and Peter l..
, Martin In the third district of ths
, fourth ward.
Outside of number of petitions
for county committeeman the only
ones of Importance filed in addition
to the list published in the NEWS
Yesterday were those of Ellsworth
, B. Walker and Auguste ]. Rossi for
aldermanic nominations in the sec
, ond ward and that of John Anderson
? for justice of the peace from the
? fourth ward. Mr.. Walker seeks the
Republican nomination and Mr.. Ros-
, 81 is the Progressive candidate.
, Hugh ]. Gallagher, who was ex-
, pected to oppose James j. Flynn for
, the nomination Of Democratic county
, committeeman In the second district
of the third ward did not file his
, petition yesterday. Mr.. Gallagher
; says he withdrew in the interests
of harmony.
AS there are three parties at the
primaries this year and fourteen
polls in the city Clerk La Roe today
sent q requisition to the Board OF
D Freeholders for sixteen more ballot
d boxes. The freeholders have sug-
gested to Mr.. La Ro that perhaps
9 some of the old election boxes which
( have not been used for the past few
2 years could be pressed into service
, for primary day. The old boxes
:. have q peculiar turn crank arrange
.. ment on the top, but the city clerk
1 may be able to have the old tops
replaced. The new poll IN this city
this year is in the first ward, where
there will be three districts instead
Of two. This makes a total of 73
in the county.
The complete list Of city and coun-
ty petitions filed are given below.
AS the time limits have expired no
other names can be placed on the
tickets except those for which petit
| tions have been filed. On the coun-
ty tickets there is only one vacancy,
that being on the Republican assem-
bly, ticket for which only two peti-
tions were filed. There Is some talk
that the Republicans may indorse

:, Progressiye's candidate as the third
man.
