Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, June 3.-An is in readi-
ness for the big primary election and the
special election OF woman's suffrage
Monday. County auditors have been
busy the past few days sending out
the instructions and supplies to the
judges and getting the polling places
in order. All arrangements are to be
complete by tonight and the polls VIII
open at Z o'clock Monday morning.
notwithstanding the fact that the
farmers are busy in the fields so much
Interest has been stirred up over the
poyernorship nomination in the repub-
lican party and the woman Suffrage
workers have waged such an agrees
i've campaign that it is being predicted
good vote will be polled.
Interest of course centers in the re-
publican nomination for governor.
Harding's followers are claiming that
he will without doubt win the nomlna-
ton. ~Cosson's friends. however. are
pointing to the fact that he has never
failed to poll big vote in his previous
contests and that the class OF voters
who are for him are not saying much
about it and therefore are not so con-
spicuous as the Harding followers.
Aliens hackers claim he has been
making votes rapidly of late.
Returns to Be Slow.
It is expected that the returns will
be rather slow in coming in and it is
doubtful If there is much to indicate
hef0ra Tuesday
night. 1t is reported that in many
cases election boards are planning to
count the suffrage election votes first
iinasmuch as the suffrage ballot Will be
comparatively easy to count and the
results Of this election can be deter
mined and out Of the way before start
ing to count the big ballot.
In many counties there are warm
local contests over county representa-
tives and in some localities over state
senator. The same issues that are IN
volved in the governorship fight, the
wet and dry issue more especially. are
involved in the contests over members
of the legislature. The fight against
the state highway commission centers
of course on the legislative candidates.
