been awarded TO the firm.
When the pressmen in san Francisco
went on strike about four months ago
and the employing printers refused to
confer with n committee for n settlement.
the Allied Printing Trades union label
ws,s lifted from those offices which were
struck, among them the Neal company.
There is city ordinance requiring the
union label to appear on all city and

to have declared illegal. and thus retain
the contract, which amounts to many
thousands Of dollars annually. but the
court sustained the ordinance requiring

The number Of men who leave

The Primary.

A good many people are be.

meeting the desires of the peo.
pie for which the primary sys.

In the first place experience
has shown that poorer officers
have been nominated under this
system than have been nomina-

In the last race for governor
IN Oklahoma. the two best men
IN the race. DR.. Duke Of Guthrie
and the man from Pauls Valley,
both withdrew from the race,
saying they were not able to
make the campaign. So the pri-
mary Is not the poor mans
friend as was once argued.
In the next place a man can
be nominated for office with .
very small per cent. of the total
vote. When there are from six
to ten men for one office. one
man does well IL he gets from 70
to rs per cent of the total vote. !

second primary should be held
between the two highest candi-
dates of the first primary, requir-
