V V (THE ARGUSMONDAY, AUGUST 10, 1908. PRIMARY VOTE IS LIGHT IN ' THE COUNTY! Misunderstandings Relative to ' Law and Other Things Cut Down the Numbers. RIIMfiRe nc a LDAim iwiiiwiiw. ui rt i unuu Pcssible Through Ballet Colors In te re sting Contests for Commit teemen Arm nvlnnri The returns from the precincts of the county show that the vote at the i ( - - primaries Saturday was much lighter than had been expected. This was due, as was remarked Saturday by (The Argus", partially to the reluctance of voters to declare their politics as re quired, and partially toThe many misun derstandings relative to the workings of the primary law. It is a new institu tion, and the voters have not yet had an opportunity to gain a thorough un derstanding of. its provisions. Manv considered that the declaration of poli tics bound the voter to cast his ballot for all candidates nominated on that ticket at the November election, and this had the tendency of reducing tiie vote to an expression of the faithful partv voters. In Ilock Island this pr ed a serious handicap to at least two of the candidates on the republi can ticket. The voters have become so bitter over the primary contests that scores do not hesitate to declare that they will scratch the ticket where thir favorites failed to s'ecure the nomination. FIuIiIn Over 'om mi ttrr. Of course thx center of interest was In the contest for minority representa tive on the democratic ticket, and over the fights for the state's attorney, rep resentative, governor, United States senator, and member of the board of equalization "on the republican ticket. Aside from these, the interest was slight, except in the second precinct of the. fourth ward, and the second pre cinct of the. Third ward, where there were contests for precinct committee man. In the Fourth ward the fight was between the Se.irle-Walker-Collins triumvirate in behalf of " Charles C. Harris for the republican committee man, and W. A. Rosenfieldon behalf of Dr. Joseph DeSilva for the place. Dr. DeSilva -won out with a plurality of 25. with over 200 votes cast in the precinct. This precinct polled the heaviest vote in the city. In the Third ward the contest was on the demo cratic ticket. Alderman C. J. Smith made a still hunt against V. C. Mauck er, the able chairman of the county committee, taking the latter by sur- j' C11 T 1 III t II 111 I . 1V1 (HIV I W I Ull derstanding that he was to have no contest for the place, when he found the work that had been done, made practically no fight for. the place. There was a little skirmish in the Seventh ward anions the republicans, A. G. Anderson winning for commit teeman, with a single vote more than was cast tor Oito Kudert. ' In other places where the vote was light, the committee was not decided, there be ing ties in several of the city and country precincts. Charges of Fraud. Yesterday (here were circulated many rumors of a fraud whereby the poll workers were able to vote th'jir men almost as they pleased. Accord; ing to the stories told, the job was pos sible through the fact that the speci men ballot of the republicans was the same color as the official democratic ballot, while the specimen democratic ballot was the same color as the offl- From Colcl Steel That Is what the Jewel Portable IfJvens are made of and they are stamped out in just, the right propor tions to allow for contraction and ex pansion due to heat and cold so that they are tight there's no heat lost.

'VV0,if iil tlr--' ';;i'"i': !V"lii';;: i':'l''liL,,fi i.uuiii.au uaiiui it, 10 cam mat during the rush at the polls a- voter substituted a specimen ballot for the official one handed him, and carried the official ballot .outside. The work ers then had an endless chain, and managed to always have a clean offi cial ballot to mark and hand to the voters they wer.Q able to control. Each time the marked ballot could be sub stituted for the one given out by the judges, once the sanple ballot had successfully been substituted for the official ballot of the other party. In .Much Con f union. There was much confusion shown in the' voting, and the returns show some amusing facts. Frequently the ballots showed the, name of the can didate for committeeman on the op posite ticket, and in many instances there were names written for the! various places for which no candidate was entered. Only Two 1'nrtlen.' Practically only the two parties, democratic and republican, participat ed in the primaries. There were so cialist and prohibition tickets, but in no precinct in the couuty were there more than seven votes cast. There was but one candidate for each place. On the prohibition ticket there prob ably were not 23 votes cast in the county. The only contest, on the head of the ticket, attracted no inter est here. In the majority of precincts there were no socialist or prohibition votes cast. Elsewhere is shown a table of the results in the different precincts on the nominations contested, and in an other column appears the winning ticket of each of the different parties. Relow are given the precinct com mitteemen chosen in the different pre cincts, as far as reported: Democratic Precinct Committeemen. HOCK ISLAND. Fi'st Ward, 1st pre. J. J. Lerch S, H. Kale 1.

JUMPS OFF A BRIDGt Occupants Are Pinioned Under the Wreckage 15 Feet Below Roadway, But Escape Serious Injury. An automobile belonging to Deere &.
