With primary day less than two
weeks away candidates for the NOM
ination to Offices in which there are
contests are beginning to speed up
their campaigns both in the county

The primaries this year promise TO
be unusually interesting as there are
four contests on the Democrat tic
ticket, two for county nominations
and two for city, while the Republic
cans have five contests. three in the
county and tw in the city.

shrievalty nomination. The Demo-
Gratis have four candidates seeking
this Office. consisting of Thomas

ganization has adopted a "hands-off"
policy in this fight and the four can
didates are expected to run a close
race. There are two Republicans in
the contest for sheriff, David Brown,
of Woodbridge, and Fred Gowen, of
Highland Park, at present under
sheriff. The Republican organizati n
is back of Brown but Gowen has a
large following and it seems likely

this city, and Harold G. Hoffman,

BY REVOLUTION
State of Seige Proclaimed at
BarceIona-Catalan Mill
tary in Authority
KING ALFONSO RETURNS
No Demonstration as He Re-
turns-Arrest of Foreign
Minister is Reported
KING ALFONSO RETURNS

BARCELONA, Sept. 13 (By The
Associated Press) ):-State of siege
was proclaimed here at 11:15 o'clock
this morning, and the Catalan mill
tary authorities took possession of
power in this city.
1t is reported that Santiago Alba,
the minister of foreign affairs, is un-
der arrest at San Sebastian.
A communique issued by the mill
tary says proceedings will be
brought against the minister of for
eign affairs and the president of the
council (the premier), and that a
government will be esta blished un-
der the military authorities.
The movement, the communique
declares, is loyal to the king, being
directed not against the sovereign
but the government.
The actual beginning of the revolt
occurred when General Lossada, un-
der orders from Captain-General
Primo Rivera, took over the govern
ment of the Province of Barcelona,
dismissing the former governor.
In other Catalan provinces mill
tary authorities have taken possess
sion of the government.
The movement does not seem to
have met with difficulties in the Cat
alan region. Its fate in the rest of
Spain is not definitely known.
The police. thA civil guard and
the other public forces seem to have
accepted the new order of things.
1t is stated here that several gar
risons, notably those in Madrid,
Saragossa and Segille, have adhered
to the military movement, which
now must be recognized as a regular
coup d'etat. The normal life of
Barcelona is proceeding, although
the state of siege has existed in re-
ality since three o'clock this morning
and censorship has been established
under the military authorities.
Documents have been made public
affirming legal proceedings have
already been opened against the for
eign minister and Premier Alhu-
cemas.
A sitting of the cabinet which was
held in connection with the procla-
nation issued by the captain-gen-
eral of the Barcelona district lasted
until the early hours of the morn
ing when a statement was issued to
the press.
