Annexed hereto is a list of the re-
publican candidates for congress and
all state Offices to be voted for next.
Monday, June II, at the primary cleo
ton. The polls in all towns and viii
lagos will be open from 9 o'clock a.
m. until 9 o'clock p. m. z., FIJI.
Where there is not more than one
candidate for an office his name does
not appear on the primary ballot Of
any political party. That is the reason
why only the candidates for governor
w. L. Comstock and Fred E. Whea-
4 ton-appear on the democratic state
primary ballot; all the other demo-
cratic candidates for state offices have
no opposition; their names will APP
pear on the ballot at the November
election Whichever of the two candi-
dates for governor receives the, larg-
est vote at the primary election, he
will be the democratic candidate for
governor and his name will appear on
the official ballot, together with all
the other democratic candidates, at the
November election.
Where there are only two candidates
for any office on the nonpartisan bal
lot-nonpartisan means all county,
legislative and judicial candidates and
does not mean the Townley aggrega-
tion-their names do not go on the
primary ballot, but will appear on
the official ballot in November. For
that reason the names Of the candi-
dates for state senator and all the
county offices, save two, are omitted
from the primary ballot. In this legis-
lative district there are two members
of the house elected at large; unless
there were more than four their names
would not appear on the primary bal
lot. The law is plain and provides,
that when only two persons file for
the nomination for any nonpartisan
office, or not more than twice the
number of persons to be elected to
any nonpartisan office file for the
nomination thereof, there names shall
not be placed upon the nonpartisan
primary ballot, but such persons shall
be considered and shall be the nomi-
nees of such office and their names
shall be placed upon the general cleo
ton ballot as such nonpartisan nomi-
nees."
There is virtually no contest over
any place on the democratic ballot
Comstock and Wheaton are both 10y
al Americans. It matters little which
of them is made the democratic nomi-
nee for governor. If Lindbergh should
by any peradventure defeaat Burn
quist all loyal Americans would vote
for either Wheaton or Comstock. But
it is best to defeat Lindbergh at the
primary election and take no chances.
Then with Burnquist as the republi
can candidate, and either Wheaton or
Comstock the democratic candidate,
we would be assured of loyal Amer
lean governor. Hence we hope loyal
American democrats will ask for a re-
publican ballot next Monday and vote
for Burnquist. In doing so they will
not injure in the slightest degree their
own party. Stand by the loyal Ameri-
can candidates regardless Of party
affiliations; stand by the candidates
who will support the war policies of
the government; stand by the men who
will stand by President Wilson; stand
by the men who will stand by our
brave boys in France. American free
men, turn out and do your duty next
Monday!
