II am still Republican--yes. a Reput
lican Republican," said Colonel Hsllowel
smiliugly, last night, after the smoke o
the days battle had cleared away.
Colonel Hallowell was surrounded will
a room full of friends. all of whom wer
more downcast over his defeat than b
was himself.
"Look at all my friends with me in de
feat" said he, waving his hand over thu
crowd. Il am proud of such friends
Friends in defeat are friends indeed"
"You are defeated, then ?"
"Yes, guess / am. At least that is tn
Indication from the returns"
"To what do you attribute your defeat? p
81 really do not want to give any opin
ion," said the Colonel, good humoredly
II find that opinions do not always PAL
out. All I want yon to say is that an
a Republican and expect TO be one unit
my last call is sounded on earth"
The returns from the precincts an(
wards of the county indicate that Georg'
| L. Douglass will have almost two-thlrds
majority votes in tomorrow's convention.
| OF the fourteen in last night Douglass had
ten and Col. Hallowell four.
In the county precincts a very light vote
was cast while in the city the vote was
larger than has ever been known at a pri.
| mary election.
The fight opened at O'Clock in the city
| city and was hard contested battle from
| beginning to end.
In the First ward desperate effort was
made by both parties. The Douglass
forces claimed it in the early part of the
fight, but as the ballots dropped Hallowell
gained steadily until about o'clock, when
he found he was all right aud telephoned
his lieutenants to attack Douglass out
posts in the Third ward. He was too late.
howevr, and lost that ward by two votes
after gaining the First ward by forty-five
knew he had no show, but he pickited
some energetic fellows there who did
some lively sharp. shooting. and attracted
some of Douglass forces from points
where they were most needed. Although
it was hopeless battle in the Fifth ward
the tactics employed there were very
clever.
In the Second ward the contest
waxed warm all day. Both sides
had strong forces there. and the general
ship was about equally divided. with the
Hallowell forces trife superior in tactics
w. S. Corbett was Douglass principal
lieutenant in the Second, while Charlie
Luling was the chief representative of
Halloweil. 1t was thought that the name
''Corbett" would have magic or mascot
effect, but when the battle closed Luling's
forces threw up their hats, for Hallowell
had carried the ward by three votes.
The Sixth ward was more or less neg
lected by both sides. Not many workers
were there, but what were worked like
fury on their respective sides.
In this ward the votes were first counted
aud the announcement that Douglass had
a majority of twenty-seven was received
with establishment on both sides.
The great fight of the day was in the
Fourth ward. There the work was hot
and heavy and tie vote cast was the iarg-
est i'll the history of primary elections in
and the personal following Of
each did some hard and active
work. Shortly after the polls opened
the Douglass forces claimed the ward
three to one but they overestimated it for
when the count was completed Douglass
majority WAS onlv 107. OF course this was
a very flattering ma ajority but some Of the
Douglass men were kicking because they
did not get more. Delano, Ninnescah,
West Park and Kechi went for Douglass
while Mnneha and Gypsum east went for
Hallowell
Mr.. Douglass was seen after the battle
was over and he said that the best person.
al relations existed between himself and
Col. Hallowell all through the campaign.
He said that they visited each other at
their homes aud their offices and that in
the event of Col. Hallowell beating him
he would go at once TO him and shake
hands.
