Death Summons Sudden.

Tuesday morning about eight
O'Clock Mrs. j. F. Clack dropped
dead on the porch of her home
on west Second street, the re-
suit of an organic heart affection
with which she had been afflict-
ed for some years past. Mrs.
IClack arose that morning appar-
emily as we'll as usual, prepared
the breakfast, and later walked
out in the yard with Mr.. Clack
when he left for work. Evident
ly she was strickened as she was
returning to the house, as the
body was found a few minutes
later by two young ladies, guests
IN the home, who heard sounds
as though some one had fallen.
Word was Immediately telephon-
ed to Mr.. Clack at the ice plant,
and it was sad homecoming to
find that his wife, whom he had
left only few minutes before ap-
parently so we'll and happy, had
gone to her long sleep.
Mr.. and Mrs. Clack came to
Winslow about three years ago,
and soon won a warm place IN
the hearts Of our people, @ho
now mourn with the husband in
his aff1iction and lonely hours.
Funeral services were conducted
from the Episcopal church yes
terday afternoon by Rev. j. M.
White.

Primary Election.

legal department of the Winslow
Mail insists tat a primary under
existing conditions cannot law
fully be held. City elections
have for years been on a non
partisan basis, and how any
candidate can file under the
primary law without giving a
party designation is a question
we are unable to reconcile with
the statutes. How two sets of
candidates can be certified on the
official ballot when all the candi-
dates at the primary are filed as
non-partisan is another knotty
problem that we want to see solv-
ed. The purpose of a primary
election is to decide which of
several candidates of one party
shall be entitled to place on the
official ballot as the party
nominee, and only one name can
be certified. Parties to be able
to get candidates on a primary
ballot must be regularly organiz-
ed political parties, and must
have cast a tcertain per cent of
the vote at the last preceding
general election, or a new party
can be organized by complying
with certain provisions of the
law. There is no organized nom
partisan party in existence in
Winslow, and never has been.
The petitions of the candidates
shows on their face that this is
the fact. They recite 1--WE, the
undersigned, legal residents and
voters in the town of Winslow,
members of the. party, re-
quest the city clerk to file the
name of Bill Jones as a candidate
for the city council, on the
primary ballot to be voted, etc. "
And as we understand the rule
made by the council, the clerk is
empowered to certify the names
of the two highest candidates for
each office as the regularly
nominated opposing candidates.
1t is possible that a primary
should be called so if any re-
gularly organized party want to
present candidates for office they
can do so, and get them regular
ly on the ticket as party nomi-
nees; but certainly the clerk has
no legal right to file lot of non
partisan candidates for primary
election, Notwithstanding the
Attorney Generals office has
ruled to the contrary in an opin-
ion to the city attorney. The
proper way for non-partisan can
didateS to get on the regular
election ballot is to file a petition
with the city clerk within ten
days after the date of the pri-
mary, and everybody can file who
gets sufficient number of
signers to his petition, and the
clerk must accept them and print
their names on the ballot.
Our certificate to practice law
is limited to the justice court
only. and it is with some temeri-
ty that we take issue with the
Attorney General of the state
and the city attorney.
