PRIMARIES TODAY

Hampshire men and women. the latter
Tor the first time, voted at the primar-
lies on Tuesday for Republican and
Democratic candidates for United
Estates senator. congress and governor.
Chief interest in the Republican fight
has been aroused by the effort Of Hunt
Hey N. Spaulding. ex-state food admin
listrator, to defeat Senator George H.
Moses, for denomination.
The contest has been waged with
much bitterness. The Spaulding forces
have made much of Moses's consistent
opposition to woman suffrage in an
effort to swing the women's vote to
their candidate, while the state Anti
Suffrage association has published an
appeal to women who have opposed
suffrage to reconsider for the primar-
les and vote for Senator Moses.
Rally to spauIdins.
Friends of the League of Nations in
rthe Republican party have rallied to
the support of Spaulding, who has an
tnounced that he favors the league with

ito the league in any form have voiced
their preference for Moses, who was
lone Of the 'irreconcilables." Senator
Moses has personally waged his cam
Ipaign largely on advocacy of pro-
ttective tariff.
