Notes OF Interest.

A primary election to select delegates to
the district convention, which meets in this
city August q, to nominate a candidate for
Congress, WIS held in this city yesterday
and, as was expected, a large vote was
polled. Mr.. Frank E. Anderson. chief of
the law division of the bureau Of pensions
won with hands down. securing sixteen of
the twenty delegates. Mr.. Anderson's OPP
| ponent was Capt. George A. Mushbach,
one of the ablest lawyers and state sena-
tor from this district. Capt. Mushback
was heavily backed by the ring" while
Mr.. Anderson was backed by the more con-
sentative element, and his victory of yes
terday has thrown great damper over the
Mushback constituents. His victory was
so sweeping that that fact will carry great
weight in the convention when it meets.
A large crowd of citizens called on Mr.
| Anderson at his residence last night, and
| in response to the call he made a speech
which was received with the greatest en-
| thusiasm.
The election was one of intense interest
| all day, and the friends of both candidates
were confident of victory. Tonight there
will be large torchlight procession in
honor of Mr.. Anderson's victory. The fol-
| lowing is the full vote cast for each dele
