PRIMARY LAW GETS
REAL TEST TUESDAY


from the Bacon. Calder AFFAIR. both sides
declaring. that these were purely local
matters.
There are few contests OF any i'm
portance this year In the two older par
ties for the Congressional. Senate and
Assembly nominations. But In most
cases the Republicans and Democrats des-
ignated by the party committees are con-
testing for the Progressive nomination.
In fact the Progressive primaries here
In New York amount to nothing more
than a scrap between Republicans and
Democrats In most Of the districts. the
same being true Of the Independence
League primaries.
In the matter OF Congress fights on the
Democratic side the most interesting
one In that In the Thirtieth UP state. be-
tween George Il. Lunn. the Socialist
Mayor Of Schenectady. and A.. T. Bless
Ing.
The Republicans have no fights here
except In the Observation-Disclosures dis
trict. where Benjamin l.. E'airchild Is OPP
posed TO A.. W. Lawrence Of Lawrence
lark.
Up the State the most interesting Re-
publican contest is that between George
w. Fsirchild and Samuel Jones in the
Thirty-fourth district. Mr.. Fairchild Ia
the dean Of the New York Congressional
delegation. having served ten years in
the House. A bitter fight has been
made upon him by the Anti-Saloon
League interests. who have got behind
Senator Jones. h religious question has
also entered into this fight In a revival
Of the old Know Nothing movement.
The district covers Chenango. Broome,
Otsego and Delaware counties. and the
fight has been one Of the hottest ever
seen.
There are no local state Senate con-
tests on either side OF any importance,
but the Republicans have a number up
the State. that between Theodore Doug
las Robinson and +. W. Christman in
the Herkimer district being the most in
teresting. Mr.. Robinson. who has The
backing Of former Progoressives and is
Col. Roosevelt's nephew. Is picked as the
winner in this. He is the former Pro-
g~ressive State chairman.
In the matter OF local judicial ofices
the only contest In the two older parties
IL hat between James A. Delehanty and
John F. Mcintyre for he Democratic
nomination for Judge OF Generai Ses-
sions. Judge Deiehanty. a Democrat
appointed by Gov. Whitman. was turned
down by Tammany In favor OF Mcintyre.
The polls on primary day will open
at 3 p. N. n close at . +. NJ. in this

Audubon. Aug. 1S.-Reports reached
Audubon that Isaac Campbell, Pat
Stewart, Tom Markley and Ernest
Steere were the principals in an auto
mobile accident about a. m. Monday

near Gray, were returning from a
dance three miles north off Manning
and in attempting to pass car col
lided with buggy going in the same
direction. but not seen until too late.
The buggy was completely demol-
ished but none of the occupants in
iured. The Steere party was brought
to Manning and their wounds dressed
and search for Steere has so far been
of no avail.
It is said that while not apparently
injured he talked Tightly, but with no
outward appearance of injury he was
left with the car while the injured
were being cared for since which time
his presence is unknown.
It Is said the car turned over three
times and was not badly damaged.
Steere's parents were located IN
Council Bluffs shortly after the acct
dent, where they had gone on an auto
trip, and are now much worried as to
Ernest's whereabouts.

market was mostly cleanup affair,
rejects from inspections clearing at

to s120, with bulk going around SO.
Rider rejects from French inspections
sold at S25 for poorest lots to $50 for
tops. There is general prediction
among traders that business in the
draft horse line will pick up and very
soon. Eastern buyers have been
eager bidders on the few that are be-
ing marketed at present, which means
that later on there will be a good out
let for this class. Feeding horses are
wanted. another order from Pennsyl-
vania being received at the local yards
yesterday. In the inspections both the
British and French are getting some
excellent values for their money. They
are buying four sorts, riders at $165
and gunners at SITS to 5000, according
to weight and general ability. French
are paying $3.50 to s165 for gunners.
Heavy chunks have sold up to s25 this

have sold as high as 1855 and up.
