THE CHANDLER NEWS: THUSRDAY. MAY 8. 1902.
TO NOMINATE IN AUGUST
The Republican Committee Met Last
Saturday and Fixed Aup. 12 as
Date for Primary Election.
HARMONIOUS AND ENTHUSIASTIC
_______________ •
The republican central committee held an
adjourned meeting at the commercial club
rooms in Chandler last Saturday. A majority
of the committee was present, Chairman S.
D. Dennis presiding.
The resignation of Cole Smith as commit-
teeman for South Creek was accepted, and
J. H. Bryan was elected to fill the position
for the unexpired term.
Reports from several special committees
were received and passed upon, but the
chief interest was centered in the report of
the committee to prepare rules for the pri-
mary election. The report was read by
John Embry, chairman of the committee,
and was adopted as follows:
The undersigned, members of a special
committee appointed at the meeting of your
committee on March 29th, to submit a re-
port upon the rules and regulations for the
holding of a primary election to choose can-
didates for county offices, respectfully sub-
mit the following report:
We recommend that a primary election
for the nomination of republican candidates
for the various county offices be held in the
several precincts of Lincoln county on
Tuesday, August 12, 1902, from 1 to 5
o'clock p. m., and that the members of the
county central committee from the several
precincts shall be chosen at the same time
and in the same manner as the nominees
for county offices. For the proper manage-
ment of said primary election wtf recom-
mend the following rules:
1. There shall be selected by the county
central committee a board of election com-
missioners consisting of three persons, none
of whom shall be a candidate for any posi-
tion to be filled at said election, and none
of whom shall be related to any candidate
within the degrees that would disqualify
him from acting upon an election board at
any general election held under the laws of
the territory. This board shall organize by
electing a chairman and secretary, and it
shall have general charge of the prepara-
tion of the ballots and the other arrange-
ments for the primary election, discharging
its duties in a manner similar to those dis-
charged by the county election commis-
sioners appointed for a general election
held under the territorial laws. This board
shall have power to adopt such additional
regulations as shall be found necessary,pro-
vided they are not inconsistent with the
rules adopted by the county central com-
mittee. •
2. Every person desiring to be a candi-
date for a county office and wishing his
name to be printed upon the ballots shall
file notice with the secretary of the county
election board before August 1, 1902, giv-
ing his name, the office for which he is a
candidate, and paying a fee of $5.00, which
fee shall be used in defraying the expenses
of the election incurred by the county elec-
tion board.
3. The member of the county central
committee in each precinct shall serve as
inspector of election in and for his precinct
unless he be disqualified in the same man-
ner as a man may be disqualified for serv-
ice on the election board at a general elec-
tion held under the laws of the territory, or
uniess for some other Teason he is excused
from service, in either of which cases an
inspector shall be appointed for such pre-
cinct by the board of election commissioners.
There shall be two clerks of election for
each precinct appointed by the inspector,
each of whom shall have the same qualifi-
cations as the inspector.
4. The polling places shall be desig-
nated by the board of election commission-
ers and due notice of the same shall be
given by said board by publication and by
posting of notices.
5. The inspector and clerks in each pre-
cinct shall satisfy themselves fully as to the

A World of Wall Paper
We have carried a good stock of wall paper in previous
years, but former stocks would look small beside this year's
line. It is an uncommon stock other than in size. It contains
everything that is new, novel and attractive in paper. There
are two good reasons why we ought to supply your wall
paper this year. First, we have so large a line as to make the
matter of choosing delightfully complicated ; second, we are in
position to make interesting prices—we bought heavily with that
object in view. It will be worth your while to see the goods and
get our prices.

right of each voter to participate in the
election before accepting his ballot and in
doing so the following points shall be con-
sidered: (a) Is he a resident of the
township and is he, or will he be by next
November, a qualified voter theren? /b)
Is he a republican, believing in the 'princi-
ples of the republican party, and does he
intend to vote the republican ticket at the
coming election? It shall be the duty of
the members of the election board in each
precinct to refuse to accept the votes of any
persons whom they believe to be not en-
titled fo vote at the primary. „ *
6. The ballots shall be arranged in a
manner similar to the general election bal-
lots, except that the names of the candi-
dates shall be grouped under the headings
of the offices for which they are candidates
instead of under party names, thus: The
names of^all the candidates for sheriff shall
be grouped under the heading, "For Sheriff"
the candidates for clerk under the headiflg,
"For Clerk," etc. In front of each name
shall be a square in which the voter shall
make a mark designating his choice of the
several candidates for each office. The
county election board shall determine the
size and form of the ballots and the order
in which the names of candidates shall be
arranged, except that the candidates for the
same office shall have their names appear
in the order in which their applications are
filed. The election board shall* also deter-
mine the number of ballots to ba. supplied
to each precinct and furnish them, together
with the necessary blanks and instructions,
to each inspector in a sealed package.
7. The elections shall be conducted as
nearly as practicable in conformity to the
territorial election law, all possible regard
being had for the secrecy of the*ballot. In-
stead of stamping his choice with a 'stamp
the voter will mark in front of the name
with a pencil and in case there are two or
more persons candidates for the same office,"
the voter will indicate his first and second
choice by marking with a pencil in front of
the name of each in the square preceding
the name, the figures "1" and "2."
Any voter may ask for assistance and in-
struction and the members of the election
board will give such assistance, remember-
ing that the purpose of this election is to
express the will of the republican voters,
but no member of the board who renders
such assistance shall disclose how the voter
marked his ballot.
8. The returns of the election shall be
made up by the precinct election board,
after the polls shall have been closed and
the ballots counted in conformity to such
directions as may be prepared by the county
election commissioners and such returns
shall show how many persons voted for
each candidate as their first choice, how
many as their second choice. They shall also
return to the county board of election com-
missioners, in a sealed package,the abstract
of votes cast and counted together with all
the counted ballots and shall keep for each
member of the precinct board a memoran-
dum of the result of the count and of the
total number of votes cast.
9. On the day following the election
•
(We 'nesday, August 13) at 1 o'clock p. m.,
the county board of election commissioners,
shall meet at Chandler and make a canvass
of the returns from the several precincts.
[Here the report goes into detail as to the
rules to be followed by the election com-
missioners in making the canvass of votes.]
10. The township election boards shall
issue credentials to the committeemen
elected at this election.
Respectfully submitted,
John Embry,
W. M. Allison,
H. B. Gilstrap.
As the election commissioners provided
for in the foregoing report, John Embry,
W. M. Allison and M. G. King were elected.
On motion it was ordered that where the
township committeemen desire to do so,
they may call for the nomination of the
township tickets at the same time the primary
election is held, a separate ballot box being
used for that purpose.
