Vacancies Filled by Fetltlon.
Attorney General .Thompson, In response
to an Inquiry from the officials of Cuming
county, has decided that vacancies on the
tickets tnnv he filled where there
was no'candldate at the primary, but that
the same must be by petition of voters.
The -county committees have not thla au
thority. The candidate so. running will not
receive the party endorsement
The attorney general also holds that
where voters wrote In the name of a per'
son on the ballots, the same shall not be
counted for these persons,
The holding also was that a person de
feated at the primaries may run at the
general election,, but only by petition and
not a a party candidate. The primary law
excepts precinct officers from Its applies
tlon, hence this ruling would not affect
them,
The canvassing board has not finished
It work, the returns from Wheeler county
being as yet Incomplete.

sinner Jackson's resignation was first
known Judge). Reese's name had been men
tloned for the vacancy, but then the Judge
desired theUme between now and election
for his own business affairs and he under
stood he would not be named. In fact, his
request Was that he be not appointed.
IOomls I. asm on Error
George L. I-oomls, democratic nominee
fof supreme Judge, has received a majority
of seven of the populist votes for that of
fice, though he -may be deprived of the
populist nomination by reason of a mistake
In' the abstract of the vote sent In from
Lincoln county. Judge Albert Is credited
with having received )0 votes In that
county, 'when as1 matter of fact he re1'
celved only four. Over the long-distance
telephone, thla afternoon County Clork El
liott said the Albert vote should read four
Instead of 400. He has not yeC officially In
formed the canvassing board, of the mis
take and that board is very likely to sign
the official canvass as returned, thus de
priving IOomls of the populist nomination.
The returns .made by Ithe . county clerk

hland Albert. 40 a,nd Meier three, while on
Find' demccratle ticket . Loomls received
thirty-seven, Albert thlrty-flvo-and Meier
thirteen. Judge Reese received 692 and
Judge' Sedgwick 800. The total vote reported
was 1,124. The board suspected a mistake
had been'' made and believed Albert" had
received only four votes, as the 896 sub
tracted from the total, as added, corre
sponded to the total as reported. Outsiders
called uo the oounty clerk and he said a
mistake- bad been made. The board, how
ever, had completed Its work, with the ex
ception of adding the figures, and will sign
the -same tomorrow morning. The board
discovered the mistake yesterday while In
executive session. Governor Sheldon made
'he matter public ioday. Should the county

Mluoarl Par Ida Officials Call.
Officials of the Missouri Pacific railroad
consulted' with the members of the Btate
Railway commission for several hours this J
afternoon behind closed doors over the
recommendations of the commission regard
ing the repair of the railroad tracks. The
result probably will be that the Missouri
Pacific tracks will remain the same as at
present until next spring, though new ties
will be prut In at least until cold weather,
with all haste poslble -with a scarcity of
workmen. The ranroaa party consistea
of Bailey Waggener, general solicitor; C.
8. Clarke, first vice preslednt; 8. M. Prior,
general purchasing agent; E. A. Oould,
general superintendent, and J. E. Stone,
traffic passenger manager. The party came
In a special train.
At the conclusion of the conference Mr.
Wagrener announced that the visit had
been merely a social call, at which the
recommendations' of the commissioners had
been discussed. He said It was Impossible
for the railroad to get the heavy steel
track recommended by the commission at
this time, though some of It could be secured
by December. This, however, would be too
late In the winter for It to be laid, and.
therefore, the heavy track could not be
laid before spring. Insofar as new ties are
concerned Mr. Waggener said 40.009 were
placed during the last month and 40,000
more would be laid during the next month.
It Is understood the commission waa agree
able to the request of the railroad men for
delay.
The commission has concluded It can
better transact Its business behind closed
doors when railroad men are present. By
doing so It hopes It can give to the public
the report of the meetings It desires the
public to know.
Supreme Court Adjonrns.
Supreme court adjourned this afternoon
after having been In session since Tues
day. It was expected a big batch of de

to draft resolutions out of respect to the
memory of J. W. Deweese, deceased.

on the pure food law. He said:
Th nun food law Is an effort on the

when big corporations and big bualness

power behind every law, Is keyed up to
