Opposition to County Ticket Has Some
Time in Roundup
The time for filing petitions for
the primary election closed Monday
evening, May 29th, both in the state
and county.
The big sensation in the closing
hours was the announcement Of For

withdrawn his name from the race for
United States senator. In a signed
statement Mr.. Norton said this was
done in the interest Of harmony, and
that nothing might be done by him to
endanger the chances Of continuing
the Nestos administration.
This leaves but three names for
the republican nomination; Porter j.
McCumber, the present incumbent
and a candidate for reelection; Lynn
]. Frazier, former governor, who has
the backing and endorsement of the
Nonpartisan league, and Ormsby Nc
Harg, an unknown quantity in state
politics.

dorsed by the jamestown convention,
and F. o. Hellstrom, who was men,
Der Of that convention and decided
not to abide by the result.

three have entered on the republican
side: r. A. Nestos, present governor
and endorsed by the republican state
convention; B. F. Baker, endorsee Of
the N. p. league; and H. L. Stegner,
who is running 1T the behest Of some
Of the Bismarck politicians.
The democrats have two candidates
in the field for governor: Charles

The contest for county Offices in
the primaries will not signify much,
only an indication Of who can sprint
the hardest in the first heat. The
deciding vote will come in November,

Of votes going on the ballot.
