PRIMARY RESULT
SQUARE[Y UP TO
ballot HOLDERS
Only Deal Attempted On
Either Side Was Spoil
ed by Exposure.
many CLOSE CONTESTS
Results May Turn Upon a
Few Votes in Many
Instances.

There is every prospect today that
the turn out at tomorrow's primary
election will be large, especially on
the Republican side where the contest
for number Of offices, state and 10.
cal. has been so spirited that SO far
as can be predicted now the result
will turn on a few votes. Naturally
this will have the effect Of making the
friends Of all the candidates work to
get sout the vote as fully as possible.
q Today the woods are full OF rumors
and roorbachs about deals and dick.
5ers, but there Is not much prospect
that these last hour tales will have
any effect upon the voters. So far
as is known there has been no attempt
to put across deal except that made
by the bosses Of the Democratic ma.
chine who planned to double cross
County Assessor Davis. who seeks q
Democratic nomination as the first
step in an effort to get reelected, in
an attempt to nominate A. NJ. Glover
for sheriff over his very energetic op.
ponent Win Smith. And all the evi.
dence points to the fact that this deal
was spoiled by the early exposure Of
Iuo pIdH5 VI tue bdu6StelS Wuu Sou-
ceived II At all events the friends of
10th Davis and Smith have been work
ing like beavers during the past two
weeks and Glover will have to fight
for any success that tomorrow's elec.
tion may give him.
On the Republican side there are
host Of so-called states In circulation
but tho large number and the great
variety Of them, taken together with
the positively wierd combinations
some Of them show is incontorvertible
proof tina. no attempt has been made
in this county to manipulate the elec-
torate In favor Of any one set of can
dtdates. In every instance on state,
county and district tickets the nomi.
nations are squarely up to the voters.
Theirs must be the decision and upon
their wisdom in selecting the ticket
will depend absolutely the chance for
victory at the November general elec.
tions.
That being the case 1t is important
that there be full turn out or Re-
.publicans. The future of the party In
the county and the state may hang up.
on the amount of party loyalty that
Is shown tomorrow.

Man to Reunite the
Party.

CHICAGO, June 5.-The movement

Arriving delegations brought evidence
Of sentiment in favor Of the urist 1and
men who have been identified with the
old Guard of the Republican party de.
clared that many delegates instructed
for others were ready to turn votes
to him after the first ballot.
The lack Of controlling leadership
by the men who have composed the
old guard is emphasized on every
hand.
They expressed themselves as not
favoring Hughes for any reason of
personality but because the delegates
bringing first hand reports Of senti.
ment from the state believe he can be
the harmonizer who can rehabilitate
the party and bring in the Progressive
strength. On every hand explanations
are sought Of the failure Of expect.
ed sentiment for Col. Roosevelt to
crystalize. ty
A week ago those who opposed the
nomination Of Roosevelt were fearful
Of stampede to him but now 1t is
said that is impossible. Many can not
understand what brought this change.
Republican leaders after a canvas to.
day declared that Col. Roosevelt's ul-
innate strength would not be more
than 200 delegates at the outside and
they believed the number would be
nearer $50.

were present W. S. Black, ". D..

son, H. W. Scott, c. D. Barry, accept
ed tentative plan for new quarters pre-
sented by Architect ]. c. Burchinal,
who came in person to lay the plans
before the committee.
The plans call for change in the
building arrangements OF the Thomas
A. Deveny building now in course Of
erection. This change will be made
in the entrance on Monroe street. At
this entrance an elevator lobby is pro-
posed which will be 16 by 20 feet and
will contain two elevators instead OF
one as heretofore announced.
The Elks' club will take up the two
top floors of the building. The lodge
room will be to the front, or facing
Main street, and will be two stories in
height. On the top floor rear will be
the members sleeping quarters. The
lower floor will contain lounging rooms
which will be provided with card Ia.
bles and pool tables.
1t has been intimated that luncheon
will be served on the plan now in use
at the Manley Hotel. This has been
taken care Of in the arrangement OF
the club rooms, adjacent to which has
been placed a small kitchen.
The Deveny building will be, accord
ing to Mr. Deveny, six stories high, but
as there has been such a large amount
Of requests for offices, Y is now believ.
ed that 1t will be necessary to make
the building eight stories. Seven floors
are contemplated In the re.drafting of
the plans and 1t is by no means un.
likely that Mr.. Deveny will make up
his mind within the next few days to
order plans for eight stories.
