NEW PRIMARY LAW.
All Party Tickets Will Be Printed on
Same Ballots, Each Under
Own Heading.

The new primary law provisions as
published by various newspapers and
probably correct are thesey
Party enrolment is dispensed with.
Hereafter, instead of all party tickets
being separate and distinct and printed
on paper of different colors as under
the old law, all party tickets will be
printed on the same ballot as are elec-
tion ballots at the present time. Each
party ticket will be under its o wn head
ing and in 1914, when the first general
primary occurs, they will be in the
order of votes cast for secretary of state
at last general election that is, in this
case, Republican. National Progressive,
Democrat, Social and Prohibition.
Any registered voter may receive a
ballot --
A cross in the circle under the party
heading will indicate the party affilia-
tion of voters. No voter can vote for
candidates under more than one party
heading and have his vote counted.
After marking the circle at the head
of the ticket, the voter should designate
his choice of candidate by a cross in
the square before the various candidates
of his party just as he does under the
present primary law.
Should the voter neglect to mark his
party heading, he may still vote for
candidates under single party head.
ing, but he may not vote for candi-
dates under different party headings
and have his ballot counted.
The design of party enrolment was
to prevent voters switching from their
own ticket to another to help friend
or nominate weak opposing csndi-
date. 1t is claimed that the new law
will be more effective than the old one
in this respect and secure much larger
primary vote. Under the old law,
many neglected to enroll and heLce
could not vote. Others helped friend
or injured an enemy by enrolling in a
party for whose candidates they never
intended to vote OF course, they can
still do this, but it is thought will not
be as likely to do so as under the former
system, while much trouble, expense
and dissatisfaction will be avoided.
A candidate for Office must as before,
file petition of not less than two nor
more than four per cent of the regis.
tered voters of the district in which he
desires to be candidate.
This vote is determined by the vote
for secretary of state at the last cleo
tion in his district.
A new party to get on the state ticket
must file with the secretary of state a
petition of not less than three thousand
voters.

Work has progressed on the Grand
Trunk depot sufficiently to give an idea
as to its size and the handsome appear
ance it will present when completed.
The cut stone work, about five and a
half feet high, is in position, and the
work of laying the pressed brick has
been commenced and with good wealth

gress will be made on the outside work.
The trenches for the foundation fer the

within few days on the walls. A
large amount of grading and filling will
be required to put the surrounding

only possible criticism apparent at the
present time is that the freight build.

had been working there with grap-
pling hooks and two others had gone
over that part of the lake in boat but
a short time before. The body showed
evidences of struggle in the water,

lence and the body was not badly dis
colored or bloated. Fire Chief Claud
Craig and Fred Morehead removed the
body from the lake and it was taken to
Jennings & Sons undertaking parlors.
