The Republicans export to nominal a ftfi ror.irMlinl and stat ticket. Many of them do not want to see th men who candljacy they are cham pioning be defeated by the Non-Partisan leaguers comlnc Into th primar ies and voting solidly for their own ticket.

They ex pect to control th next Legislature by electing enough members to bav a ma Joiity. to elect a Governor who will sign th bills th Legislature passes snd enough other stat officials to con trol most of the boards of th state. There Is little said about electing coun ty tickets, but It Is believed by the leaders of th old psrtles that If th leacu has th strength It claims.
