The nomination Is equivalent to an election, hence the sharp contest to determine who shall tie the party's candldutn, This la the first time In the history of the district that a joint primary has been held, Hlackford county, heretorfore having no voice whatever in the selection of the party's nominee. By precedent Wella county has always named the candidate for prosecuting attorney.
