Dubuque. July S.-The Iowa primary
election law effects some amazing re-
suits. Word has Just been received
from the state commission that T. H.
McQuillen has been nominated state
representative on the republican ticket
and Alex McAieece has been nomi-
mated for the same Office on the pro-
gressive ticket. Mr.. McQuillen is life
long democrat and served . number
of terms as chairman of the board Of
supervisors. He was candidate for the
nomination for representative on the
democratic ticket but failed. Some
lone republican wrote his name In on
the republican ticket for representa-
tive. This nominated him, as the re-
publicans played little part in Dubuque
county at the primaries.
Alex McAleece is one OF the best
known socialists in Dubuque and the
idea Of his being nominated on the
progressive ticket has filled him with
mirth. While neither man expects to
run this fall, both are eligible under
the law.
