Concerning Primaries

Secretary of State c T. Stewart in
a statement recently prepared by him
has gone into the question of the
names required on the nominating
petitions of candidates for the yari-
GUS offices for which party nomina-
tions will be made on August "a. The
number of signatures required is
based on a vote of the political parties
| in each precinct as cast for repre-
sentative in congress at the last gen
raj election. If the office is a county
office or one voted upon only in one
county, the necessary number of sign
ers include electors residing in at
least one-fifth of he voting prclncts
of the county. Two percent of the
party vote in the county for represen
tatives in congress is required as a
total number of signers. Candidates
for district offices which include more
than one county are required to have
signers from one-eight of the precincts
and the number required is at least
two percent of the party vote. Peti-
tions for offices to be nominated Ivy the
state at larg require signers from at
least one-tenth of the precincts in at
least seven counties of the state.

Arrested on
Statutory Charge
Miles City Roundup

The 1920 Miles City Roundup to be
held on July l, 2 and 8 promises. to put in
the shade everything which has been at
tempted along this line in the past. The
committee in charge of this event has
been working with the idea of making
every day 24-hours of entertainment and
it is believed that they have succeeded.
The Roundup itself looks more promising
than ever before at this season of the
year. Some of the best riders in the coun-
try will be here in competition. The stock
secured by the show will be more than up
to Round up standard. In addition to the
famous horses owned by the association
some of the worst buckers discovered dur
ing recent years have been lined up to do
their part toward making the winners of
the saddle and bareback contests earn their
money.
1t. Rees, famous overseas ace, has been
signed up for three flights day during the
Roundup. He will give fight in the
morning, another after the completion
of the show and will complete days
work by putting on an Illuminated night
fight. This last is undoubtedly thriller
and one who has not seen an illuminated
airplane in 4 night performance should
surely plan on being at Miles City during
the three day performance 1t. Rees will
perform all of the air stunts that are being
done today.
A thirty-piece band will be ON hand to
furnish the music for the afternoon and
evening concerts and after the concert
street carnival will be the order of events
with band furnishing dance music for
those inclined to dance.
There will be something doing all the
time. The dates of the show are July l,
2 and 3.
