Progressives Shy Many Candidates.
The Republicans made no nominal
tons for the Legislature in % counties
and three Legislative districts at the
recent state primary. The Democrats
made no nominations in eight coun-
ties and r shy a candidate in the
First legislative district of st. Louis.
The P~rogressives have no candi-
dates for the legislature in &C coun-
ties of the state and nine legislative
districts. In some of the counties
where votes were cast for a Progress
sive candidate for the Legislature it is
apparent that this was the work of
voters writing in the names. In sew
eral counties only one vote was cast
for the Progressive candidate. In a
few counties several candidates re-
ceived one vote each, indicating that
the names had been written on the
ballot by voters. There is serious
question as to whether the writing
in of a name and the casting of a
few votes that way constitutes a valid
nomination.
Fourteen of the 43 Progressives
nominated in st. Louis. Twenty-nine
We're nominated in the counties or in
legislative districts of Kansas City.
OF these 20 at least 10 received less
than five votes. Five received but
one vote.
The Democrats did not make NOM
nations in the following counties:
Benton, Gasconade, Grundy, Mercer,
Morgan, Usage, Stone and Washing
ton.
