THE VOTE OF LINCOLN COUNTY.

~ T.
In another part of to-day's paper will
be found statement of the vote
of Lincoln County for State and County
officers on the 9TH inst The votes were
canvassed by the Boarl of County Com
missioners yesterday in the presence of
such citizens as felt particularly inter-
ested in the result According tc the
votes canvassed yesterday the Gree
ley Electors have an average major
ity OF nearly 20i; Clark BEATS Haines POS;
Lightner beats Taylor 2O4: Stone beats
Mills 1919, Hon. c W. Kendall beats his
worthy competitor 3O2;. Seawell has
230 and Lewis 203 mejoriry, showing
that Lincoln county ia Dsmocratic on a
strict party vote by at least 200 majority.
But the scratched 4" tickets show
that party fealty had little to do with
the action of the masses. For Senator
(ong term) Hyman, DEM. is led by
Clapp, Rep, by ia; while for Senator
(short term) Wilson, Dem, comes out
20 ahead of Brown, Rep. For Assembly
men the scratching was uuexampled.
The average / emocratic majority is 6S,
Shoatf leading the ticket with LOLA, ex-
ceeding Kendall's vote %, and is fol-
lowed by Wallace with 1922. Craigne
Rep, comes next, with $50, leading his
associate (McFetrish) 10 and the other
Republican (Patten) 80, while Marshall,
Dem, is left far behind. Travis, Rep,
is elected Sheriff by $50 majority, and
Miller, Rep, is reelected Clerk by III,
showing conclusively that those gentle
men We're elected by Democratic votes.
For district Attorney, Goldthwaite,
Dem, is reelected by l91 votes. For
Treasurer, John Roeder, Dem, leads
Charles Weiderhold 206 votes. For
Auditor and Recorder, Henderson ran
without opposition, and received 1922
votes. For Assessor the contest between
Curtis. DEM, and Hanley, Rep, was
very c'ose-Hanley winning by 30 votes.
hchoppman Dem, beats Palmer, Rep,
81 votes for Surveyor. For Seperintend-
ent of schools, Louis Sultan beats Geo.
W. Gould AS votes. For Public Admin
lstrator, DR.. d. l.. Deal received the
highest vote cast for any candidate who
had an opponent-receiving 1928, and
win Inv 19J En1I
Commissioner (long term) leads his
competitor 204 votes, and received lust
about the regular Democratic vote of the
County. For Commissioner (short
term) zones, Dem, beats Bryan, hep,
15l and Hamilton, Rep, 20. Garden,
Dem, beats Bryan AZ and Hamilton II.
This closes our review of the result for
State and County officers The result
ortownship officers will be foun in our
local column.
During the CONTRASTING of the vote yes
terday, considerable spirit was manifested
by representatives of the respective par
ties. Judge Hardy, in behalf of j. A.
Curtis, citizen competent to testify in
the case moved that the returns from
Bullionville precinct be excluded. on the
ground that the election in that precinct
was not held in the place designated by
the Board of Commissioners, and that
liquors and wines We're sold and given
away, while the election was proceeding
in the building in which the election was
held. Messrs. Corson and Bishop OBJ
jected to the rejection of the Bullionville
returns. The objection was sustained,
aud Judge Hardy excepted. -.
Our readers will understand that this
action before the Commissioners was only
formal, as any issue that may be raised
in regard to the legality of the Bullion
vile returns will have to be decided by
the District Court.
This will probably eventuate in con-
tested election, as the throwing out of
the returns will elect Curtis Assessor.
but will not change theresult in any other
case. a.a#-
In regard to the formality of the re-
turns from st. Thomas and Los Vegas
precincts. the Board thought the infor-
malties sufficient to justify their ex-
clusion, but finally concluded to count
them, and leave any contest that might
arise to be determined by the District
Court. The rejection of these returns will
not change the result in any case.
The official statement had not been
made up when the Board adjourned yss-
terday, but the figures given by US ap-
proximate correctness.
