For Primaries

Republicans will outnumber
Democrats on the Primary cleo
ton ballot by a considerable mar
DIN a check on filings in the of
flee of the Secretary OF State
Earl Coe revealed this week.
The comparison covers only
those candidates who filed with
the secretary. These include all
state and federal offices and le-
eislative districts comprising more
than one county. --,....-r..-,-s.-y.,.s
The situation is not an un-
usual one in this state, Coe point
cd out. since more Republicans
that Democrats have filed in pre-
q, vious years. In 1914, for example,
Democrats swept all the state
elective offices and gained con-
troll of the legislature. The re-
cords show 112 Republicans fill
ing for office as opposed to ~
Democrats. -. ..s
This years figures exhibit an
amazing similarity with 113 Re-
publicans and "a Democrats fill
ing. - @ e
zone fact which may explain
why more Republicans filed"
SECRETARY Coe observed, els that
most of the Incumbents are
Democrats. Few members of a
political party will file against
--r. incumbent of their own party
therefore many of the Demo-
cratic incumbents have little pri-
mary opposition"
Fbur Withdrawals were an
nounced by the Secretary Of
States office. Thomas p. Gable
Of Everett and Carl ]. Love of
Oak Harbor, who withdrew as
Democratic candidates for the le-
eislature. in the 38th District; Les
lie E. Davis, Republican Of Ia
coma, who withdrew from the
State Auditors race; and Sam
Lamping, Republican, candidate
for State Insurance Commissioner.
Several other candidates attempt
ed to withdraw but were too late,
Mr.. Coe reported a total Of
$7,365 accruing to the state from
filing fees collected from candid
ates. In addition, $2,480 was col
lected from joint district candid
ates. The latter amount will be
divided among the counties form
ing the state joint legislative dis
tricts.

Last evening ! was working
away peacefully and quietly
when the calm was broken by a
loud speaker announcing the
coming rodeo event. Looking out
the office door, I saw jeep load
OF cowboys and cowgirls in ten
gallon hats, accompanying the
loud speaker, making a very
colorful display to advertise and
let one and all know about the
event beginning at 900
SOCK Saturday night.
There are to be seven main
events which are: bareback rid
ing, saddle bronc riding, calf rop-
ing, wild cow milking, brahma
bull riding and ladies calf rop-
ing and ladies musical chair race.
There are already two entrants
for the ladies calf roping, Jean
and Kathrine Lazinka from Ukia,
Oregon. If you would like to hear
more about this rodeo, which is
approved by Rodeo Cowboy as
ISOLATION, tune in Wednesday and
Friday afternoon to KPKW and
you will hear Bob Hoffmeister
explain some of the finer points.
Numerous top cowboys have
already sent in their entries to
compete in this big show under
the lights. Something new and
different will be feature at
traction, as "The old West is
back" the saddle broncs will be
led out into the middle of the
arena; there they will be snubbed
to a snubbing horse; they will
then be saddled and mounted by
the cowboy. This is more diff
cult than mounting in a chute
cause you can't tell which way
the horse will go. You won't
want to miss this! So be on hand

Dead following the quake yester-
day were chief radio operator OF

according to reports. the islands
radio assistant. The two men were
killed when the two-story radio
building collapsed with the first
heavy, three-second shock, at 6:24
pm.
None of the injured was seriously
hurt. Col. Enrique Garcia Antuna,
prison director. today cancelled his
appeal for doctors and medical
supplies.
Earth tremors continued until
past midnight and the ground rum
pled until daybreak. However, ter
ror has subsidized among the prison
islands TOO prisoners and 1900
soldiers and civilians.
Several of the shocks were felt In
Mazatlan, but no damage was re-
ported. The island is off the west

YUMA, Ariz., Dec. 4.-Louis B
Mayer and a pretty widow, Mrs
Lorena L. Banker, were married to-
day in an atmosphere, produced by
pursuing newsmen, something like
one of the film magnate's cops-and-
robbers thrillers.
For reasons best known to them
selves and a bevy of protecting
studio publicists, the bridal couple
refused to pause for pictures OF
talk to reporters throughout a
serio-comic chase that began at
dawn.

MIR. Gamble grinned broadly.
Colonel" he chided, "it's early
in the day for you to be in Burma"
The Colonel regarded him ston-
lily and then he smiled, too.
You're probably right" he ad-
mitted and set out across the
bridge.
WHEN Mr.. Gamble got back to
the paddy field clearing. Major
Featherstone and his troops were
already encamped. The Major
puffed and groaned and Old
Boy'd.hi unrelentingly, and ex-
planned that he had the Commits
sioner along. Part of the cere-
mony, you know. What? He
hadn't been told? Mr.. Gamble
said he'd found out anyway.
Featherstone said we'll, that was
fine, but he couldn't see why
Gamble hadn't been told about
the pack of land that was being
given over and all that. Well,
anyway, about noon the Chinese
would show up and make the
thing formal and tidy. And, old
boy, where are those raiders Har-
rison was weeping about? Oh,
false alarm. Well. good. Fine.
Can't have things upset today.
The rain stopped at eleven. The
Chinese came down the trail at
quarter to twelve. The Gurkhas
snapped to attention in neat rows
and the Commissioner and Feath-
erstone and Mr.. Gamble stationed
themselves out front in a self
conscious little clump. The Chi
nese came forward, their head man
astride horse. Behind him
walked knot of civil officials,
some officers and a company or
two of troops.
lHE head man accepted a sa-
lutte, dismounted and the two
Official bodies drew together for
greetings and introductions. The
head man was a General Liu or
Ii. He didn't speak English but
was very affable. Interpreters
struggled and suffered, while
boisterous handshakes and shat
tering laughs of good fellowship
drowned their efforts. Mr.. Gam
Bile thought it unutterable con-
fusion and dreamed of escape and
then the group turned on him and
Featherstone said, Gamble, want
you to meet Colonel Kung."
Very happy to see you, Mr..
Gamble" He grasped Mr.. Gam
ble's hand and shook it firmly.
In MIR. Candles pocket, rubies
ratified. He frightened.
Colonel kung, happy to see
you, too" The End
