injury to the results of the coming

for the county ticket is so essential
and badly needed. _
The nomination and election of a
Recorder for this township has al

■MUap. Whan this *u yyeaintad to
Senator Walter W. Carter for intro
duction it did n»t meet with his ap
proval and after afna diacuaaion Sen
ator Carter iitiwhrnd and had paaaad
a bill placing the aelectioa of the Re
corder la the handa of the Governor.
Now that thia method of aelaoHoa haa
boon adopted it waa hoped that it
would do away with all ft lata over
the -oSea, but ttnM indication" that
are developing among the frienda of
Mr. Carter and Judge Lewellyn it
would appear that the oftee ia *tlU
determined to give the Democratic
party leader* considerable worry.
The term of Judge Lewellyn doea
not aspire until December and party
leaden who ara intereated in the auc
eeaa of thcDemocratic ticket in the
county regret the early con teat that
ia being waged between the frienda
of the two aaptraata to thia oOca in
their behalf. Rather had .they pre
ferred the matter held In abeyance
until after the election, and aeon all
parties ia both camp* lined up and
working for nothing but the Demo
cratic nominee* that art atanding for
•taction.
' There ia no denying the fact that
there haa developed a atrong organi
sation in the Democratic ranka in thia
county with the youncer blood of the
party naaerting Ita strength and thia
atrength haa ahown itself in the out
come of the election for the pa at
four year*. The old order ia chang
ing, older head* are destined to give
aray to the youth of the party, to the
vigilant and more energetic of the
day, hut all thia ii not taking place
without aoaaa_4l»*ppointment
And It ia Nothing but natural for
the Republican* to view with pteae
urc any difference* in the ranka of
the .Democratic party right on the
eve of the election. They are work
ing hard from all indication* and the
Candida tea are making a ranvnaa of
the county and wrorking as they have
not in the pa at two electiona. One
r»f their highest speakers, Hon. John
son J. Ha yea, will be ia the county
thia waek and beatir the member* of
his party with hia masterful tongue.
Much personal work by the Demo
cratic Candida tea is being done and J.
H. Kolger. candidate for the house,
this week started a speaking tour of
the county which will take Kim into

una of the souet strenuous campaigns
ever undertaken by any candidate in
the county.
Tha ordrr for tha printing of tha
ballot, ia naw ia tha hand* of tha
printers. A total of forty-ftve thous
and hallots wiU ha reared far tha
county. Fifteen thousand far the
county, state and township ticket*.
I-aat election the township ticketa
war® prepared in tha old way, hut
thia year tha}- at* also being printed
aa prescribed in tha Auatraiian ballot
law. '
All Democratic candidal— are plac
ed in one column on the tickets and
the Rapoblieans in the other column.
Over each column ia a circle in which
one makea a mark if he deaires to rote
tha straight ticket in that column.
And opposite each name ia a tittle
square that the voter can uae if he
wiahaa to scratch hia ticket.
In the preparation' of baliota by the
state where two or more Candida tea
are soaking the same uOce it has
been the custom to print half the
ballots with one man's name ftrst1
and the other half with hia opponent's
name ftrst And following the prac
tice of the state hoard, tha county
board ia also having the ballots print
ed in alternate manner, that ia on
half the ballots the Democratic candi
dates are printed in the A rat column
and the other half the Republicans
are printed ftrst. This mahner of
printing the hallota has brought forth
a vigorous protest from the Republi
can party leaders, they -contending
that this was done to confuse the
voter.
The Republicans have alao made
demand upon the chairman of the
election board and the registrars
that they he allowed an equal num
ber of markers. One fellow in an
swer to this demand of the Republi
cans asked the qnaatlon: "Have the
Republicans equally divided the rev
enue oflkes and tha poet tScaa with
the Democrats in thia ceuntyf The
question of markers proved to he
a" hard matter to settle two yeara
ago and there is still wrangling over
it again.
