The direct primary is coming'

from time to time. The Pend
d'Oreille Review points out that

mere plurality but must have a
clear majority over all other
candidates in the primary in
order to secure the nomination.
The man who secures the largest
number of first choice votes in
the primary may lose the nomi
nation on account of the possi
bility of a lower candidate re

votes to put him in the lead, j

Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Peterson were
pleasantly surprised at their country | g
home Thursday evening by the Royal
Neighbors, it being their seventh
wedding anniversary, lu fact it was
such a complete surprise, that neither
one was utile to say anything for
several seconds. The first that they
were aware of anyone's presence was
when the cry came:—"Pete! Pete!
Pete! Sandwiches! Bring on the sand
wiches!" Then the door was opened
and the Neighbors entered. The
evening was spent in acting charades,
guessing contests and "cards." The
ladies brought refreshments and these
were served about eleven o'cluek; they \
consisted of cake, coffee and fruit ^
jello with whipped cream. It was A
after midn ght when the guests de
parted after wishing the couple
many happy returns of the day.
Those present were: Mr. and Mrs.
Wm. Brackin, Mr. and Mrs. A. II.
Graham, Mr. and Mrs. Tim Trauger,
Mr. and Mrs. E. (J. Roath, Mr. aDtl
Mrs. Dick Bamber, Mr. and Mrs. C.
It. Cross, Miss Jennie Christmas, and
Milton Rawlings.
A great crowd turned out to hear
the debate at the city hall Friday
evening. Rev. Price plead in earnest
and eloquent tones for the Socialists,
Prof. Cross sang the Prohibition side,
Charles Burroughs told the people
what a great good man Billy Bryan
is and urged them to vote for him
again, while Carl Skeel informed his
hearers that the present administra
tion is good enough. By a vote of
the house, all lost out but Mr. Price.
The writer not being able to be pres
ent, we didn't get full particulars.
But from all reports, it was l*)ts of
fun, and the wlnnêr is wearing bis
laurels very gracefully.
The celebration of our seventh
anniversary which was planned and
so beautifully carried out, on Thurs
day evening, March 10, will always
be one of the most pleasant events
stamped on our memory's pages,
have nothing but kind thoughts and j
the best of good wishes for Mountain j
View Camp, No. 5666 and it is just
such a kind'v remembrance as this
1 that will bind us closer together in
neighborly love. We hold in high
esteem all who were present, and feel
that we owe them a debt that money
could not pay. Come again!
