With one exception, there were no
contests in my of the districts for
| delegates to the State and county con-
ventions, and the full vote of tho dis.
tricr, as rule, was polled In each
| cnse
The nominations are good, and in
nearly every case the nominee is likely
~ poll the full party vote at the
election. There were contests for MOST
Of the Offices, but now that the matter
is settled all will work together for the
succesa of the ticket.
Aea matter of fact, the marty did
not poll it's full strength at the nomi-
! nation. In the city, for instance,
| thera were l.942 votes cast for the
several candidates for the sheriff nomi-
for the three days showed that 5,6s2
people we're qualified to vote at the
primaries. there were $40 qualified
to vots who did not participate, OF
cuurse. many OF those who did not vota
are Republicans, hut it is believed
that there are Bt least 1000 Democrats
who were not sufficiently interested in
the nomination to 60 TO the polls and
cast their ballots, while some, it il
known. wero prevented by business
from doing So Some did not vote, as
they did not care to offend any of the
candidates by voting for anybody else.
In many cases il was an imposs bility
to get some of the Democratic roteri
to go out Of their way, simply because
they considered all of the candidateI
running in their districts goon men
and the result was immaterial to them
having no direct or indirect interest
therein.
The result is gratifying to the Demo
cratic party. This total number of votei
cast was as large as most people ex
rected, and 1t is a pleasure to know
,, that the election was openly ant
honestly conducted and that every vot'
cast was proper!y counted.
With such strong ticket in th
, field, every Democrat should feel en-
, couraged to exert himself in th'
direction of securing full registration
before this election, as it is believed
that with full registration aud
full vote, there will be no trouble t,
down Addicks and Addickism in thi
county.
In the contest for State convention
, delegates in the Twelfth ward, Levi
Dickey defeated John Monck by ss t
A. This was the only contest of th
. kind.
