PRESIDENTIAL CROP
DEVELOPING EARLY
NEXT FEW WEEKS EXPECTED
TO BRING FORTH CANDI-
DATES NOW ON FENCE.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The pres
idential primary, now the vogue III a
full score of states, not only has be
come the bugbear Of many old-fash-
toned political bosses, but is also &C
comprising the rout of the time-hon-
ored practice of delaying the an
nouncement of candidates. until the
last possible moment. Today in many
states candidates must climb down off
the fence many weeks before the ma
tional conventions, and say whether
they will or won't.
The beginning of the 1924 primary
season now is bare SIX months away
and the filing OF papers required OF
candidates in many cases already has
become a burning question among
those who cannot decide whether they
hear a commanding popular call for
their services in public Office. Such de
cisions must be made much earlier
than in times gone by, and as con-
sequence of the spread Of the primary
system the next few weeks are eX-
pected to see the crop Of candidates
reach a stage much more advanced
than the average for pre-presidential
years i'll the past.
First Primary March 18th.
The first primary, that in New
Hampshire, will be held March l1th.
North Dakota will follow a week la
ter, and seven additional states, con-
trolling some of the largest delega-
tions that sit in national conventions,
will have voted before the end OF
April.
Here is a full list of those having
presidential primary laws, with the
dates for the primary elections OF all
parties:
California, Tuesday, May g.
Florida, Tuesday, June 3.
Georgia, to be fixed by state COM
mittees.
Illinois, Tuesday, April 8.
Indiana, Tuesday, May 6.
Maryland, Monday, May 5.
Massachusetts, Tuesday, April g.
Michigan, Monday, April 7.
Montana, Tuesday, May u.
Nebraska, Tuesday, April IS.
New Jersey, Tuesday, April p.
New Hampshire Tuesday, Mar. II.
North Carolina, saturday, june I.
North Dakota, Tuesday, March l6.
Ohio, Tuesday, April 20.
Oregon, Friday, May 10.
Pennsylvania, Tuesday, April p.
South Dakota, Tuesday, May p.
West Virginia Tuesday, May u.
Wisconsin, Tuesday, April |.
The presidential primary law OF
Florida does not apply to a party poll
ing less than IS per cent of the total
vote in the previous general election.
This eliminates the republican party
from a presidential primary and leaves
its delegates to be chosen by conven-
ton in that state.

! Logging in February, changed his
! mind and asserted he had signed such
voucher before McWilliams. The
inference, since there seemed to be no
doubt of Mr.. Whalen's signature, was
that some one had slipped two
vouchers together, as the chairman
was rapidly signing several hundred
on July 2, 1922, and he signed a blank
one which was later filled out to cover
the liquor purchase.
Mr.. Nhalen did not deny that he
thot the entertainment at Almont

asserted that he brot five gallons paid
for by himself from Crested Butte,

ed money for the Cattlcmen's celebra-
tions. That this amount carried 5000

total something over $4,000 in four

Mr.. Wnalen and Mr. Knowles also
swore that the entire purpose of the
entertainment was to bring influence

road men, who would help to put the
Rainbow Route on the seven per cent
federal system, so that it would re-
ceive funds from such bond issues as
the six million voted last fall, and
that they succeeded in this and be-
lieved they were accomplishing a

citizen of the county.

FIGHTS To KEEP
OUT LOAD Of
RUSSIANS
Party at Manila Is Made Up Of
Criminals, Says Yank,
Once in Siberia.

"The United States is prepar-
ing to pay $4,000 to transport
900 'murderers and robbers into
this country under the guise of
-Soviets and desirable citi-
zens.'"
This statement is made by
Major Sidney C. Graves, 1874
New Hampshire avenue north
west, SON of Gen. William 5.
Graves, in command of the
Siberian expedition, 1880.
Believes Officials Hoodwinked.
II am convinced that Secretary
of War Weeks and John Barton
Payne. chairman of the American
Red Cross are being hoodwinked,
Major Graves said today after read
ing a dispatch stating that the
refugees will come to America from
Manila.
II have positive proof" Major
Graves said, that the Russians
who are reported as being brought
TO this country are nothing more
than followers of Ataman Semenoff
and Spiridan Merkulov, and that
they are responsible for the murder
of American soldiers and were for.
merly the hirelings of Japan in
anti-American pursuits.
Major Graves explained today that
he and his father were, in Siberia
for twenty months and were con-
sta ntlv checked in their work by
the murderous activities of these
so-called desirable Russian citi-
zens.
Before night, Graves told The
Times, all of the facts in his pos
session will be placed in the hands
of American Legion officials with a
view of waging vigorous cam
paign against the the importation
of the desirable" Russians.
Gives Times Copy Of Letter.
Major Graves furnished The Times
with a certified copy of letter
written by Merkulov in 1919 in
which he made the following COM
ment:
1.-The MISFORTUNE is due to the
fact that the American army here
is overrun with Jews and various
criminal Immigrant elements.
Another passage says: We are all
wondering how Japan is so patient
and does not teach these people a
lesson As warriors they are be.
meath any criticism"
Major Graves points out that he
has come in personal contact with
many of the "desirables which the
United States intends to bring here
and that they all believe in the
doctrine of. their former leader
Merkulov.
The refugees are to be brought to
American in accordance with re-
cent decision by the Federal Gov
eminent to admit them as desirable
immigrants inasmuch as the Rus
sian quota has not been exhausted
for the year ending June 80.
