THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES.
Brumm and Scott Win in Shenandoah
After Spirited Contests.


The Republican primaries held here
Saturday proved the most spirited and
closely contested held in the town for
several years. There was hot Brumm-
Scott combination fight in every ward
and the combination succeeded in getting
fourteen of the twenty votes.
There was an unmistakable Davis feel
ing throughout the town, but the ma
jority of the people who went to the polls
took the view that Congress was of more
Importance to the people at large than
the office of Sheriff and that Brumm
should be the nominee
All the Scott delegates were pro-
nounced Brumm men, while the Davis
delegates are composed 81 Brumm,
Shoener, Losch and unpledged men,
and rather than have an uncertainty
about the support Brumm would receive
in the county convention the majority of
the people decided to vote the other tick
ct in full and sacrifice Davis.
Davis secured the two delegates in the
First ward and one in the Fourth ward.
Scott got the balance AS to Congress,
Brumm secured eighteen of the twenty
votes the town is entitled TO in the con
vention, one of the delegates having re
fused to pledge himself to any of the Con-
gressional candidates.
An interesting fact connected with the
! primaries was that four Councilmen were
on the tickets for delegateships of some
| kind and three of them were knocked out
| The fourth was saved from defeat by be
| ing upon both tickets In his ward This
Councilman was 7. J. James. The de-
seated ones were Messrs Lamb, Straughn
