A LIST of THE NOMINEES
CANDIDATES WHOSE PAPERS ARE NOW LEGALLY ON FILE.
Time for Filing Nomination Papers With The Secretary of State Expired at Midnight
The Republicans Have No Delinquients.
At midnight Saturday night, the time for the filing of nomination papers of candidates for state, legislative and
judicial offices expired. The office of the secretary of state was kept open until 12 o'clock by Deputy Secretary

yesterday in Tama and Johnson counties and the papers from both were brought in by special messengers. These were the
