INSPECTORS HERE FOR ELECTION SUPPLIES

Men Gathered F’-om Over County to Get Ballots for Use at Tuesday’s Primary Election. • Yd.lay, Saturday, was the day set for procuring the supplies for the primary election but up to 2 o’clock only six of the twenty precinct committeemen had been in for the supplies. Among the early arrivals was John W. Phelps, of the south precinct of Carpenter township, and M. J. Delehanty, of Wheatfield, and H. B. Brown, of Walker. George Parker, of Hanging Grove, was also in for his supplies. County Clerk Perkins was being assisted by C. C. Wamer, of the ■ primary election board, in giving out the supplies and giving instructions as to how they were to be used. There seemed to be an impression that there'will be difficulty in getting out the vote, although the enthusiasm for Warren T; McCray seems to indicate that his friends will make an effort to get every person to come out and vote for him. The other contests are not attract ing much attention, although James E. Watson seems easily the favorite in the senatorial race.
