until midnight the seven Democratic trus-
tees voted for Anderville Shaw, the present
incumbent, and the seven Republicans

called out: Il vote for Barlow" thus car
rying out his statement that as between

the tie by voting for the Republican. Shaw
has held the office two terms, and his
father being a member of the board of COM
missioners. has been allowed many bills out
of the county funds which Carson thought
were excessive. These facts together with
the commissioner refusal to allow the
auditors salary led Carson to abandon his
party on this question. The local Demo-
cratic paper claims that Shaw is to blame
for his defeat, that the trustees should
not have voted for him, and scores Car
son because he would not vote for Shaw on
the tie This election has caused no little
amount of criticism of the Democratic
party management in Shelby county. Bar
