REPUBLICAN CAUCUSES.
The Barr Tickets are Generally
Successful, and he Has
Three-FOurths of the
City Delegates

less VlgOr III all U06 wards. In Uu0
Fourth and Fifth wards, which return
a majority of the delegates Of the
city, the fight was on senator, be-
tween the friends of Mayor Weaver
and those Mr.. Geo. T. Barr, land an I'M
usually large vote for a caucus was
polled. That general interest in the
outcome was felt by the business
men was manifested by the fact that
we'll known citizens who had not
been to caucus for years were present,
and many of the best citizens were
actively at work at the polls. The re-
suit was the success of the Barr
ticket in both wards by large MAORI
ties.
In the other wards other issues en-
tered into the contest, and the dele.
gates from those wards are about
evenly divided on the senatorshiI
question. In the entire city Mr..
Barr claims thirty-one OF the forty
delegates, and after the caucuses
Saturday night MIR. Weaver only
claimed twelve or fifteen delegates.
1t is'difficult to say how the candi-
dates for other offices are affected by
the outcome. Oscar Bierbauer, foI
register of deeds, seems to have the
lions share, and Daniel t. Bowen, fol
sheriff, is well satisfied with the re
suit.
The delegates elected in the various
wards were as follows:
FIRST wards. a. Swanson, Gustav
Tuberg, Patrick Madigan, Christian
Hub, Louis Bishman. The first three
