A vote for the Kelly-Crimmins ticket is a vote to surrender the control of municipal affairs to corrupt bosses. Circulars and rumors that the laboring men are opposed to the Republican Pri- mary League are false. It is true that the labor organizations which contem- plate the vlacing in the field of a labor ticket to be voted for at the municipal | election have advised their members to refrain from voting to-day, because they cannot subsequently exercise the right of petition for a place on the ballot if they have voted for delegates to a convention. ) No doubt many laboring men will respect the requests of their respective organiza- tions and refrain from voting to-day.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Aug. 12.—A special to the Deseret News from State Line, Utah, says that Jim Hedges, a well known character of that place, was killed in a street duel yesterday after- noon by Jim Glendenning, a miner, who was afterward arrested and placed in jail at Cedar City. Hedgea for years has had the reputation of eing a ‘“bad man,” and during his twenty years’ residence in [the border towns kilied three men in street encounters. Yesterday Hedges and Glendenning got into a controversy as to their respective merits as revolver ex- erts and as a result Hedges challenged lendenning to a fight. Hedges went after his revolver, and, mixing in the crowd, shot Glendenning through the arm before the latter was aware of his presence. Glendenning at once returned the fire and put two bullets through Hedges' heart Wwithin half an inch of each other. GOVERNOR TAFT INTENDS TO REDUCE TH_E POLICE Believes Manila Force Is Entirely Too Large as the Members Do No Military Duty. MANILA, Aug. 12.—Civil Governor Taft in the immediate future will reduce the police force of Manila by one-half. At Present there are 1300 policemen for the city, whose population numbers only" 250,- 000 souls. The Governor considers it un- necessary to have over 600 policemen, as they are not required for military pur- poses. Besides in the event of trouble the policemen of Manila would be unable to cope with the situation and the military forces would have to be called upon. General Ludington, quartermaster gen- eral, has arrived here on the transport Grant. He probably will make a tour of the islands. He says he is imme 1y gratified with the record of his depart- ment in the Philippines and in China. Flames Level Forests. VANCOUVER, B.

Rea delivered an ad- dress in English and Italian. He called attention to the disgraceful politics being done by the Kelly push and of the efforts made by the better element of the party to rid the organization of the bosses. He urged his hearers to stand by the Primary League ticket and with their help to-day he was confident of success. Abe Ruef was the next speaker. He discussed the issues of tgef prlelxmm.n-y B i in a vigorous and fearless man- ner. He characterized the fight as being one not for men but principle. It was a struggle of men for the right of volcing their own sentiments irrespective of the commands of a political boss. It was a battle to throw off the shackles of a de- grading political slavery. Mr. Ruef denied the statements of A. K. Daggett, Dr. C. A. Glover and othe made at a recent meeting concerning hi connection with the Primary League movement. He declared that their state- ments were a tissue of falsehoods. He denied that the men league were job chasers, and he proved conclusively that the men most active in Kelly’'s behalf were themselves spoil hunters.

The Bailhache family is one of the oldest in Sonoma County, and was at one time the owner of the richest valleys of the Coast Range. It atrenuouslfi opposed the union of the daughter with young Waldrop, and sev- eral fistic encounters have taken place be- lt;:'een the brothers of the girl and her er, Several weeks ago Miss Juanita, who has attained her majority, took the reins of government into her own hands, left home and declared her intention of mar- rying Waldrop in spite of them all.

ISSUES FINAL INSTRUCTIONS. Thomas J. Walsh, Registrar of Voters, | has made a ruling relative to tallying the votes of candidates where the official bal- lot and the paster do not agree. In re- sponse to many inquiries as to the law on this subject the Registrar has issued the following instructions: To OMicers of Election: You are hereby noti- fied that in tallying the votes for any name | on the pasters you must be guided by the heading on the official ballot and not by the heading on the paster. For instance, if the heading of the official ballot should read v, and should have a Repub- you must mark the ballot . as there are more candidates than are allowed by the apportionment. On the other hand, if an official ballot should read Repub- lican party, and the paster should contain Democratic candidates, nevertheless you must J tally the votes for such candidates in the Re- ! publican page of the tally sheet by’ writing in the names so voted, as the official ballot and not the paster determines the political com- plexion of the candidate printed thereon. A strict compliance with this law will be insisted on. THOMAS J. WALSH, Registrar of Voters. S L g The Polling Places.
