PRIMARY ELECTION
UNUSUALLY DULL
VOTERS TAKING LITTLE INTEREST
IN ELECTION IN FIVE MOS
cow PRECINCTS
Some Contest on Precinct Committee
men-Returns Probably Not be
Available Until Morning

The primary election today in Mos
COW precincts seemed unusually dull
except in one or two precincts where
a fight was indicated in the republican
primaries over the selection of pre-
cinct committeeman. The polls opened
at 10 o'clock and will close. tonight at
o'clock. In view of the canvass of
votes on first and second choice, it is
not believed that returns will be avail
able anywhere in the county before
midnight at the earliest. Every effort
will be made by the StarMirrOr to
compile the returns as rapidly as posi-
BILE. 1t is not believed that state re-
turns will be available before We'd
nesday morning
In the local county fight today it
developed that many democrats and
prohibitionists were desirous of voting
in the republican primaries, largely
with a view of casting their ballot for
French for congress and Miss Dryden
for state superintendent. In some in
stances where such voters were cha1-
lenged the votes were lost to these
two Latah county candidates.
Another feature of the primary cleo
ton was the dissatisfaction expressed
over the primary law. The view is
held that the voter is entitled to a Sc
cret ballot but that in calling for eth
er a democratic or republican ballot,
they are deprived of their constitution
al right to a secret ballot Another
complaint came from the right of any
party organization to maintain check
ers at the polls to list the names of
voters of either party.

For Two Shows

An unparalleled aggregation of
startling, beautiful, educating, anus

There are a wonderful menagerie,
splendid spectacles, interesting ma

course of men and women, of trained
dullud1S dAu equipment Univ dicO Ia
their lines, guaranteed to give the
most daring, interesting, artistic,
startling performance ever seen un-
der canvas.
And as special added features the
Sells-FIoto Circus has secured the
greatest fighting heavyweight of the
age, Jess Willard, and the most re-
nowned wrestler of the world, Frank
Gotch A vast amount of time and
money were necessary to procure the
services of these popular champions,
who prove that a healthy body and a
healthy mind are mans most precious
possessions.
The Sells-Floto Circus will appeal

eye for the artistic; to the man who
won't allow his heart to grow DID,
in fact, to everyone the Sells-Floto

for it is the very last word in Circus
Glory.

of certain simplified forms, and the
state board required the publishers of

Idaho list of simplified spellings as
follows:
1. Use the following spelling for
these words and their compounds and
derivatives: tho, altho, thoro, thru,

STRENGTH GAINED
IN WHEAT LISTS
Favorable Tendency Shown by New
York Market and Weather Reports
Are Bullish Factors,

Chicago, April 20. - Considerable
strength developed in the wheat mar
ket today based largely on New York
stock market advances, which we're
attributed in financial quarters to con-
fidence that a break with Germany
would be averted at the 18th hour
Stormy weather that seriously retard-
ed seeding in the spring crop belt
had a further bullish effect. Open
ing prices, which varied from the
same as yesterdays finish to &c high
er, with May at 113 to 11212 and July
at 1854 to 1.136s, were followed by
decided additional gains.
Reactions which subsequently took
place were not of a lasting sort. The
bullish showing of the Illinois state
crop report was against any pro-
nounced setback. The market closed
steady, &c to 11sc net higher, with
May at LAS and July at 1873.
Corn weakened under heavy selling
from a leading Spectator who re-
Gently had been purchasing on a large
scale. After opening 4 off to a shade
up, prices underwent a slight further
sag. Oats had no independent action.
Changes were chiefly governed by
corn.
Reports Of increased acreage oper-
ated to prevent any material upturn
and so, too, did predictions of enlarged
receipts after next week. The close
was easy at 1s@Ac to ~ net decline
Lower prices on hogs tended to
ease provisions. Trade was light.
