! even footing in their parties each un-

interest In the Republican primaries
than in either of the other parties,
but the discrepancy is so tremendous
in this particular county that only one
construction can be placed upon the
returns.
What vas true in Keweenaw, ia
true in nearly every other county.
Senator James had no opposition.
There is no question but what
hundreds of voters did not mark a
cross opposite his name merely because
there was no opposition and one
solitary vote was sufficient to nomi-
nate. In spite OF this ne received the
highest number of votes cast for any
man in Baraga county. was next TO
the highest in Houghton, Keweenaw.
