Today the new primary law of Illinois is being eiven Us initial test, the electors for the first time in this state, picking the candidates to go on the party tickets by a direct vote, Instead of leaving this task to delegates and conventions. Scattered over the State are something like 2,000 can didates for nominations on the var ious party tickets. For complexity and intensity the contest Is without parallel In the history of Illinois. For weeks past every city, town and ham let has echoed with the roar of factional battle and been swept away by the breath of partisan compaign. Today the fight is sweeping to Its close at the polls Four big contests of great Import are involved In the political struggle, They are: The bitter fight between Governor Charles S. Deneen and former Gov ernor Klchard Yates for the Republi can gubernatorial nomination. The contest for United States Sen ator, in which there are four candid ates, with Senator A. J. Hopkins and Congressman George E. Foss fore most in the running. The fight over the general assem bly, In which the Legislative Voters' League is maKing a aesperaie euon to break up the senate combine and the house machine. The contest in Cook County (Chi cago) in which Congressman William Lorimer, through the Instrumental ity of the Yates campaign, is seeking to regain control of the Republican party In Chicago. In addition to these big senatorial contests there are several others of considerable magnitude. The demo crates, confident that Bryan will carry Illinois, are indulging In a merry bout over the governorship nomination. Their candidates are Colonel James Hamilton Lewis of Chicago, Douglas Pattlson of Free port, Adlal E. Stevenson of Bloom ington, Charles F. Gunther of Chi cago, Judge E. Kinibrough of Dan ville, and John P, McGoorty of Chi cago. The Prohibitionists, exultant over the outcome of the "wet" and "dry" fight last spring are straining every nerve to get a good representative in the legislature in order that they may hold the "balance of power" in that body. The United Societies for Local Self-Government are working energetically In the various districts with a view of electing representa tives friendly to "personal liberty and home rule" principles. The spectacular race for the toga of United States senator is one of the --SPORTING NEWS - - rne newspapers and fans of Grand Rapids are urging Bobby Lewis to take full charge of the Grand Rapids team. Chicago, not to be outdone by oth er cities in setting aside special base ball days, is to have a Comiskey day the middle of this month. If ever a pitcher earned his salary that pitcher is "Long Tom" Hughes of Washington. Look's as though lom is always at work.

Of this number Scat,, I , Hopkins and Congressman liBirw p toss are running a neck and neck race. William K ..Mason, former -ator, has been making an active cam paign throughout the state for over a year, but he Is believed by the prac tical politicians to have been out-distanced by the other two. The fourth contestant is William G. Webster who ran as "unknown" two vears ago and received 12,000 votes. The Denio- tianu cauuiuaies tor the senatorship are Lawrence I). Stringer, condldate for governor four years ago, and Ad dison Dlakely of Chicago ine Prohibitionists and SnHaiui have state tickets in the field. En gene w. unarm of Chicago, who is al- u iub i-resiaenuai nominee, and Daniel R. Sheen of Peoria, are the Prohibition aspirants for the guber natorial nomination. James H. Brower of Elgin Is unopposed for the head of the Socialist ticket. George W. M'Caskrln of Rock Island is to be the candidate for governor on the Independence party ticket. But of all the contests to be decid ed by the primary the Deneen-Yates struggle for the governorship is most prominent. The so-called "machine" is opposed to Deneen. The latter Is standing on his record at Springfield The opposition picked upon Richard Yates as their slandard bearer. The cry of the Deneen forces Is that if Yates should become govern or Congressman Lorimer would be come the "boss" at Springfield. Lor imer, who was fiercely denounced by Yates two years ago, is again with the former governor. Lorimer, In fact, is one of the biggest issues of the gubernatorial campaign. The "Blond boss." as he is called, is one of the wonderful products of Chica go politics. A foreign immigrant and a butcher boy in the stock yeards Ire worked his way to the front until he became the recognized leader of the Republican party In Cook County. He accumulated wealth and was sent to Congress. A few years ago the op position succeeded In downing him for the time being, but he speedily regained his feet and again returned to Congress. He is a bitter political foe of Governor Deneen and if the latter succeeds at the primary elec tion today, there will be little hope i for Lorimer Influence being felt at ' Springfield. If Yates, on the other 1 hand, wins out against Deneen, Lor I imer will be in a good way to real I ize his hope of becoming the biggest I man in the Republican party in II ' linols. Louis Cardinals. Perhaps managing the Highlanders caused "Grift" to fall in love with those strong tail-end teams. Baseball scribes must dig Into their ancient records for a little dope on : a new-comer. Rumor has It that Theodore Breltensteln. the former St. 1 Louis Cardinal pitcher and now the star slabist of the Southern League, is booked once more for the majors. Now that the Chicago Cubs have their regular line-up in the field again there Is bound to be some "doing3." Those Pirates and Giants will learn how to behave. If the Boston Americans can keep iin-their present clip they will soon be included among those present. One nice place among the first three be fore the ghost walks for the last time Is the hope of Manager Mct.uire. The niti-hinir of "Rube" Waddell ninst the I'll iladelph hi Athletics has been about the prettiest piece of rn wnrk Hisnlaved this season Five wins with nary a loss is what tho "Unhe" thinks of his former team-mates.
