' " We expect soon to hear that the State Executive Committee has been befriended by some defeated candidate 'y who will offer his legal services to de fend them against the attacks of Hon, fWlps Rj, Thomas'""-:" . -, t Newspaper editors come into- con- ; tact, with all' varieties of free space grafters but about the worst of these is the United States Government, ; Every "day the mails are flooded with .' "newspaper announcements' from 'the government which are nothing but :- ads and yet the newspapers are expected to run them . absolutely witnout penny of remuneration; , Notices civil service examinations, , postoffice announcements and the like are being ' sent out - by the thousands each day and many' an, editor allows them go in as news when in fact they are not news. We will be glad to see the day ..; when the editors refuse to be buncoed . in this way and will compel the govern ment to pay: fon. every line of spar they get. ' THE CANVASS OF THE VOTE , fWe would call particular attention to the : fact that the - tabulated lists of the votes cast in the recent Cbngres- sional Preferential Primary. in, this district do not give the votes in a form by which, a Calculation cad be made from them according to the rules, - ,The rutes require that ."if no ,;one of said candidates receive a. majority of the votes cast the counting shall con tinu'e, and the candidate receiving the fewest number of votes on each count, shall be eliminated from 'the contest and the , choice i expressed on the ticket : for the candidates in' the manner specified on said . ballots; and the cot nting v to be, continued until some one of the candidates has received a majority of the votes east - in the district at large." . " . . Take the above rule-turn to one of ' v'the published lists jand start to, make ( the calculation according to the above : ; rule in order to find out who was nomi ; , f nated at the ballctt box and ought to have ' been declared the nominee and you will v , ' find that : the . calculation -cannot be ': , made according to the rule without ', : further data, l " " V.

It is not fair to our band boys to make-them -go begging formoney and 'deprive therbselves ; of ' salaries they could -earn at their places of busi ness, which I understand that a nura- ber of these gentlemen have deducted for time they have gone out to earn money to pay for pressng indebtness and every member in the band t a man willingly allowed every cent earn ed to go towards said band debt. .r-t Does not our . band show the- right spirit?. ..
