XominnlioiiK were beiin; mnde for ouo
Onitcil Saje.4 senator, thn'e rcpre-sentntix-es
and complete stale mnl

Voters were slow going lo Iho
noils, this being due lo the fact (hat
the Milliug p'accs were to remain
open until 8 p. in., by which time it
xvnn PXH'c(eil a largo vote would bo
enst. Although tnnuy prohibitionists
and socialists had taken advantage
of the opimrtunity to register, their
interest iu tlio election xvns indirect,
as they already had named their
candidates nt nominating conven
tions. Itcconl Number Cnil!iwU"n
While there are a record number
of candidates seeking nomination,
interest in general wns not ns great
as hail characterized some previous
primaries. U was climated that the
vote would be about ,0 jter cent of
the regUlrnl'on. Fair weather in
most wrts at the slate gave im-wlus
to the city voter to o to the polls,
whereas it bait the ojntosilo effect

General npnthy ruled the primary
election throughout Jackson county
today, in country and city. Up to
noon in the twelve xoting places in
this city, Ids than 250 bad been
enst, or 10 jter cent. In South Riv
ornidp precinct, in the heart of the
residence district, nt 1 o'clock but
seventeen votes had been cast. Kf
forts to bring out the vote were met
with calm indifference.
General Apathy Itulcs
At 1 o'clock the women voters be
gan to go to the H)lls, but tho offic
ials bad gone to dinner, taking n full
hour. Soma wailed for (ho reopen

In Jacksonville and Ashland tho
same conditions exist, anil reports
from the country districts show the
farmers xVere voting slowly.
This afternoon it is expected that
an increase in the vote will be regis
tered, but it will take Herculean ef
forts to bring tho totnl up to 50 per
cent of the registered vote.
