All is set for the big day tomor-
row over Lake county, with fine
weather promised
Nominations of candidate for Of
fces ranging from United States
senator to constable viii be made
by the republican and democratic
parties in Lake county and Indiana
at the primary election. At the
same time the voters will elect PEE
cincs committeeman and delegates
to the state conventions. The cleo
ton Of precinct committeeman Will
lead to determination OF the con-
troll of party organizations, and tho
election of delegates TO the state
conventions will lead TO the adopt
ion of party platforms and 70 the
nomination of certain candidates for
state office not made by the direct
vote of electors.
BALLOTS ARE LARGE
Candidates for nominations are nu-
merous this year IN most counties
and townships and hence the pri-
mary ballots Will be large. The
elector that does not make inquiry
before the primary about the auali-
fcations OF the candidates may be
confronted with the names of many
/ persons of whom he has never heard
and he is likely to be puzzled when
it comes to marking a ballot
The polls will be open. from a.
m. to 6 D. m. Because of the many
names on the ballots. especially ia
Lake and in other populous coun-
ties. It will take several hours 10
count the ballots, and all the win
ners may not be known for TWO or
three days There viii be more bal
lots to count this year than in the
primary of two years ago because
of the acknowledgements Of women.
For each of the two parties gov
erned by the primary law there is
separate ballot, and when the voter
goes to the polls he will ask for the
ballot of the party with which he is
affiliated.
First on the ballots viii be the
names of candidates for the noni-
| nations for United States senator.
The contests for nominations for
this office have commanded tha
highest interest. This is particularly
true on the republican side whers
the contest is between Senator
TIarr, S. New. now serving his first
term, and Albert J. Beveridge. who
was in the senate from 1899 to 1911
4 BOTH SIDES CoNF1DErT
On the eve of the election tho mans
ayers of both Senator New and Aifs
I Beveridge, of course, predict victory
for their respective candidates. The
Beveridge managers profess TO be-
lieve that big primary vote viii
be helpful to their candidate. this
idea being based presumably on the'
theory that the vote usually intiu-
enced by the republican organiza-
ton is for Senator New and that the
strength Mr.. Beveridge shows in tho
; primary must come from the vote
that is cast in excess of the orsani-
> zation vote. Supporters OF Senator
/ New predict he VIII carry every dis
: trict and that in sorne of them, not
ably in the Seventh, his maporities
will be large.
Outside the interested camps OF
the two candidates the prediction
+ most commonly heard IS that Sena-
tor New will be renominated. but
, there appears 10 be a wide variation
of opinion as to the majority he Will
! receive. the figures ranging from
/ I25.0o0 to more than 100 900. The pre-
+ diction that Senator New VIII win
is usually reasoned out in this way
By reason Of the fact that he has
served only one term, he has made a
record that has not been attacked
g seriously from any source; he has
II worked in harmony with the Hard
2 ing administration and openly es-
e poused its cause to such extent that
r his defeat would practically be a re-
r pudiatfon OF it as far as Indiana lc-
a publicanism is concerned; he has fog
l. many years been active and promi.
Y nent in the party; he VIII get yir.
h tually the full strength Of the or
ganization vote.
( CONCERNING SOLDIER VOTE
Ie Those who predict that Senator
New will win by large majorit,
say that even outside the regulai
organization vote he has several uni.l
of strength that are not enjoyed bs
his opponent. In this connection
