When the hour of midnight arriv-
ed last Light there We're Il number OF
dlsappoimtments 10 political obser-
Ver$; many contests that had been
anticipated did not devel0p: in fact,
there was very little, if any excite
nlent, although some of the candi-
dates We're on the anxious bench.
EARLY in the evening the rumor be-
came current that former States At
torneY William n. Andrews intended
10 file complete opposition ticket
10 that Of the regular Republican or
4 SanlZatiOn. that he had the papers
already filled out, and that he would
tlle them live minutes before mid
night. 1t was also reported that for
mer Senator Applegarth had about
made up his mind TO enter the pri-
maries for the Democratic nomina-
tlon for Senator; these two incidents
lent Il few thrills to an otherwise duh
situation.
But after being raised to the
point OF expectancy neither OF these
/ two rumOrs materialiZed. Mr.. An
! dreWS. a few minutes after eleven
/ O'Clock, announced that he had no
papers to file and is reported to have
said that he intended to make a Wig
orous campaign against Mr.. Phillips
! for the Republican nomination, but
would naturally keep his hands off
of the other positions. Senator Ap-
! plegarth quietly departed for his
! home at Golden Hill without filing
any papers.

will be contests in both the Demo-
