Sadler, Hazen and Furst were defeated for
denomination. There is red hot fight in
Fursts district. formed of Center and
Huntingdon counties. John G. Love, of
Center, and X. A. Lowell, of Huntingdon,
are each backed by his home county in the
Republican conference. Love defeated
Judge Furst two to one at the Center Re.
publican primaries. The former expected
no opposition from Huntington, but at
the last moment Love came out as can
didate and carried his county, The con-
ferrees have held many meetings. but
seem to be in hopeless deadlock. Calvin
NJ. Bower is the Democratic nominee. but
stands no show OF being elected. Judge
Reeder is opposed at Easton by Henry W.
Scott, strong Democrat, and the contest
will be close, The fight against Judge
Clayton in Delaware county has assumed
vast proportions, and is Of interest all
over the state. Judge Harry White, of
Indiana, is opposed to ex-Judge Blair, also
a Republican, who was indorsed by the
Democrats. 1t is battle royal, and the
result is uncertain.
