being the last day for filling petit
tions and County Clerk Thompson
was busy the better part of the time
in accepting and filing them. Dis
cussions were rife in every part of
the big building and little groups of
politicians were to be seen arguing
over the situation.
Brackets, however, was the chief
theme, and certain candidates who
had already field their petitions were
scheduled to withdraw them for the
purpose of bracketing themselves
against the Brohel and Democratic
brackets. 1t was admitted, by those
who know, that bracketing gave an
advantage over those running in
dividually. 1t is feared that the
average voter will not take the time
to select from the long list Of can
didates the seven men he would pre-
fer but that he will impatiently
select the bracketed groups for con-
venience sake and let it go at that.
Petitions were accepted by the
County Clerk up to four o'clock, the
regular hour for closing the office.
