MOBILES COUNTY.


MOBILES COUNTY.
The election in this county was
condrcted in a quite q, orderly.
manner, and comparatively lit
tie prediction was indulged in by
the politicians as to the probable
outcome. There were too many
unknown quantities involved for
them to risk their reputation, if
any they had, as political sages.
=. ;. At the time Of putting our. paper
to press we have only incomplete
returns. From Grand Prairie we
have only q few figures and none
1t al from Summit Lake and
Bloom. The vote5:s,%sas vot,e5:,%s ! light and
the contest close.::,. The report we
give is the best attainable, but the
official count will doubtless correct
it in many particulars.
Unofficial reports from all pre-
cincts except Summit Lake and
Bloom. foot up. Oh the State ticket
rs follows: Merriam 591; Wilson
467; Owen 382.::* Merriam's vote
over that of Wilson is l24. The
vote in the two Townships to be
heard from is not large and will
vary the figures on the Governor
but little. 80
The reports VS. have show IA
more votes cast for member OF
Congress than for Governor. OF
these Baker, Alliance and Demo-
cratic. has $50, and Lind, Republi-
can, GIG. Bakers plurality "a.
The full report and the official
count will somewhst=change these
figures.
The reported vote for State SEN
ator gives La Due;:Alliahce and
Democratic, 635; Miller, Republi-
can, 591. plurality for La Due Of
Al.
The vote for Representatives is
not fully reported, anu the reports
we have show highly mixed con-
dition. At the time of this writing
it is uncertain if either of the No
bles county candidates is elected
by the district. Geo. W. Wilson
loads the Republican side with 545
vstes. Coburn has 4S6, and Lock
WOO! 4S3. G. P. Shepard leads
: the Democratic side with SOB votes
and Mr.. Rork follows with 232.
Mr.. Gildea, supported by both AL
lance and Democratic voters, has
419 votes. Mr.. Gustafson, Alliance,
has 29l and and Mi. Pemberton
I'll. Eumors from other counties
indicate combinations in one or
more of them to leave Mobiles coun-
ty without a representative OF
either party in the House of Rep
resentatives. If this prove to be
true, it will be well for those gull
ty of political treachery to ponder
the retribution which awaits them,
Mr.. Molerly, Republican, for Treas
urer has 6l5 votes reported as against
ss3 for IL. &. Shepard, Democrat, and
27l for e. ). Bond, A lliance, The Off
cial count will change these figure s,
but not enough to defeat MIR. Moberly.
For Sheriff Gilbert Anderson, Dem
ocrat, is probably elected. His vote ap-
pears Us 66l; Boardman, Republican,
4sO; and Ellsworth, Alliance, 1919.
The full count can hardly enable
Boardmxn to catch up with Anderson.
For Clerk of District Court, F. a..
Stevens, Republican is ahead Of Ben
nett. Democrat, over 100 votes. Stevens
548; Bennett 445: aud Tuttle. Alliance
19l votes. 1t is thought Stevens has
start enough to keep his place another
term,
For Rtc ,rder, j. A. Kennedy is prob
ably elected by vote Of between lW
or 200 over his Republican competitor,
Mr.. Wempie, who will poll neatly or
quite 400 votes. Mr.. Gruudsten's vote
is not far from 25O.
For County Attorney the race is
neck and neck b.tween DALEY and
Freeman. As we 60 to press DALEY
scores 6l9 and Freeman $50. With
two townships to hear from and tile
returns to be corrected, neither gen
tlemen Can feel very certain to whom
the Office will fall. Mr., Rohrer, the
Alliance candidate will have over 2O(
votes.
For School Superin tendent, Mrs. NJ ]
Barron leads by 60 votes. She has re
ported 6OO votes. Mr. Mcclure Ia:
54p, and Mr.. Shaw 347. The chances
are in the Iady's favor, but 60 votes il
too small u margin to be very confident
in the way Of predictions.
We have not attempted tabular re
report this week, the returns coming
in too slowly and imperfectly for sat
iseactory report. The official repor
will appear next week. :.
