No participation by the members of one party will be toler ated In selecting the candidates of the other. , , ' Two' primaries are held in the State on that day, the order of the board declares, a Democratic primary and a Republican primary;- The voter Is free to change his party affiliation, hut when he changes he must? stick to ,it. , The voter cannot vote for a particular candidate in . a party of - Which he Is not a member. Republican participation in the prl- .mary will be nominal, except in the - 87tlr Senatorial and the "Tenth Con gressional districts. In only these two instances are there contests within the party. Elsewhere in the State, with the exception or some county offices of which no record is made here, the Republicans will stay out of the primary, because it is a ' Democratic primary. The ruling of the board follows: "There are two primaries held on June 3, 1922. One a 'Democratic' - and one a 'Republican.' The Demo crats Tote in one, the Republicans fn the other. No Republican has any business in the Democratic primary; ( likewise, no Democrat has a right to participate In the Republican pri mary- , "Section 6031 of the Consolidated Statutes, being same section of the Election Law, Is very full and minute upon th voter's rights.

CAPTAIN WADE DIED LAST thtrshav his, letter Attorney General Daugh erty makes the startling statement that persons high up in the Wlson administration are involved, and that the prosecutions which are to follow in the immediate' future will disclose this fact. Attorney General Daugh erty'a exact language is a s follows: The transactions out of Svhich these casesgrew jnjsjyastmajoritj of 'instances took place during the proceeding administration. , Natur ally , little, or nothing was done; du ring that administration to bring these matters to light. As the country will soon haVe reason to know influential personages in the government who had knowledge of these transactions and who were in a position to make disclosures were personally inaerest- ed in concealing them.. It is not to be wondered, therefore, that upon coming into office 1 ' found not only that practically nothing had been don in the' way of investigatng and pros ecuting thesese offences, tot that no machinery had been aet up tox hand ling the cases in an orderly and syste matic way.", ; .'The Attorney General states that since his Induction into office the de-j partment ; has taken up and is pur suing the Investigation of over 200 war graft cases.. 'This number in cludes only those oases where there is evidence of fraud: t does not in elude almost 200 more cases out of war-time operations nad inwhich the gocernment's interests must be pro tected. K The Attorney General states that ths fell upon his department at the time when economy was being urged all along the line and that in response to the demand for -econ omy he has not been able to create an adequately equipped division with- n his department for handing all of such cases: The Attorney General denounces those who defrauded the government In connection with war contracts as "treasoable" and states that they should be compelled to "d s- I A .

On that day they went to sea and both caught a good lot of men haden. On the way In the Elisabeth with about 221,000 flak aboard, sprang a bad leak In the upper4 part of her hall and although by keeping the pumps going she msnaged to get In the harbor, she sank very shortly thereafter. The Alert derelcpod some engine trouble snd had to.be towed In by the Coait Guxrd crew. The trouble with the engine was not very serious though and was soon repaired. In order to get the Elisa beth afloat It was necessary to throw her cargo overboard which was done and he was then righted aad car jried to her. dock.
