1919 VOTES POLLED
AT THR REPUBLICAN PRIMARY, HELD
SATURDAY.
An Unprecedented Vote.

More voters went to the polls Saturday
than at any previous primary election in
the history OF the county: in point of fact
the vote polied was only two or three
hundred less than at general elections,
with the exception of the last presidential
election, when the entire vote polled was
u.s., divided as.follows: Republican 1870;
Democratic 22,i2; Prohibition 2l6 Populist
Is. When the boisterous weather and
impossible condition of the roads during
the three weeks preceding the election is
taken into consideration the showing is
most remarkable and proves conclusively
that the men nominated are the choice of
a majority Of the voters Of the county
Reports from every election district are

friends of the various candidates being
waged with the greatest enthusiasm nom

tary. The balance of the ticket was in
doubt and the friends of Maurer. Miller
and Sanner, Shafer and Cover. Winters
and Dumbauld, Kimmel, Braucher,
Good and Koontz. Black and Swank,
RhoaCs, Gnagy aud Bowman, were in
high spirits, all claiming that their favor
ties were sure winners. The different
headquarters were kept open all night

ious excited throngs at an early hour

day evening when returns from several
precincts were received which put diff
lerent aspect on the legislative fight. All
subsequent retGrBs showed large gains
for Miller and Sanner. The closest night,
however. was for second place for Ccun-
ty Commissioner. George L. kimmel
won out and L. u. Braucher, Gabriel
Good and ". y. Moser all stood chance
to win with the returns received prior TO
Monday morning. Early Monday morn
ing returns dissipated the chances of
Moser and Koontz and the battle mar
rowed down to a contest between Branch
er and Good IL was not definitely
known until the last returns were in

gin of - votes.

Senator's By Direc I Vote.

WASHINGTON, March 20-Representa-
tive Corlis, of Michigan, to-day submit
ted favorable report on the resolution
providing for the election of Senators by
direct vote Of the people. Year after
year." the report says, ''the passage Of
such an amendment to the Constitution
has been demanded by the people, and
the bitter experience ofthe present year
adds to the strength of the argument that
there should he achange in the mode of
electing Senators, making them more
sensitive to the demands of the people.
Had the people Of Kentucky enjoyed
the rights guaranteed by the proposed
amendment in the election of last year
the disgrace to the State and the humili-
ton Of the nation by the depIorabIe con-
duet of the recent Legislature of that
State would have been avoided"
