counted. The presence of so many
tickets delayed this labor in many
places until nearly s O'Clock
The ballot box in the Tenth precinct
was stolen by some one, who wanted
to take 1t hoE,e with him, but as the
votes had been counted it made no
difference in the result.
FOR the most part the primaries In
the ward were conducted quietly and
there were no great disturbances
| The delegates met in caucus after the
elections in Belmont hall and held a
stormy session for two hours. They
| elected Z. K. Sharood chairman of the
ward delegation, and Aid. Lindahl sec
rotary. They Endorsed John W. Fine
| hout for permanent secretary of the
city convention. There was an animal
ed discussion as to whether to indorse
Col. Kiefer for mayor, and it was de-
| cided not TO vote on the question or
| to indorse anybody.
| There was a lively difference of opin-
| lon regarding the aldermanship. The
contest lay between Charles J. Nelson
ana John Blomquist. No agreement
| could be reached, and the matter will
be left for the city convention to
| wrestle over.
Third Ward.

a majority of the delegation.
There were two hot contests, one in
the Seventh precinct and one in the
Eighth precinct, in each of which the
final count showed the election of the
| FeldhauSer ticket
| In the Seventh precinct the contest
was between Feldhauser and Kiefer,
while in the Eighth precinct the fight
was waged against Feldhauser by the
| DonahoWer forces. In both precincts
| the result is also blow at Aid Kenny,
as each delegation is strongly in favor
| OF Harry Simmons as an aIdermanic
| candidate as opposed to a second term
for Mr.. Kenny, and it is likely that the
| formers name will be presented to the
! convention.
The fight in the Eighth precinct
brought out total vote of 100, of which
| Feldhauser received u, while Dona-
the most exciting held in the Eighth
precinct for years and marks the
strong fight to head the Republican
ticket, which foreshadows troublesome
times in the convention today.
Large crowds surrounded the polling
booths from the opening of the prima-
| rieS to the close, and a policeman's
presence was necessary to keep the
door from being forced in by the
anxious walters during the count Of the
vote. Both candidates had jealous
workers hustling out the vote, the most
| energetic being w. H. Reaney, of the
| Feldhauser forces, who mustered sur
| prising strength.
No Doran or Kiefer ticket was in the
field in the Eighth precinct, but friends
| of both Of these candidates were in
evidence about the booth and evidenced
| an undercurrent Of resignation which is
| suspiciously viewed by some of the
| most ardent Of Mr.. Feldnauser'S dele
| cation.
| The contest in the Seventh precinct
was between the Feldhauser and Kiefer
forces. Seventy-eight votes were cast
with sixty for the Feldhauser candl~
dates and eighteen for the Donahower
contingent. The fight was less intense
| than the one in the Eighth precinct,
because of the alleged failure Of two
| Of the Kiefer delegates to participate
| in the hustle after voters, and. in fact,
| 1t was openly charged that James Nc

Fifth Ward.
The Fifth ward primaries were well
attended. Every precinct but two fur
nished a contest. There was no contest
| in the First precinct. ONE Kiefer and
| one Doran delegate being elected.
In the Second precinct Donahower
| won out by A to 80 votes cast for
Doran's ticket. Bernard Zimmerman
was on both tickets. He will probably
cast his first vote for Doran and then
so to Donahower.
There was but one ticket in the
Fourth precinct. That one is for any
body but Doran. The delegation is
composed Of H. r. Denny, Albert Span
genberg and Geo. w. Warren.
There was a one-sided scrap in the
Fifth precinct. Donahower and Kiefer
against Doran. The result was Doran
opposition.
It was Donahower and Kiefer for
it up in Assemblyman Days precinct.
the Eighth, and Mr.. Donahower will
have three votes from there.
Donahower and Kiefer were at 1t
again in the Ninth precinct.
Sixth Ward.
Mayor Doran was beaten in his own
precinct by a vote of So for Kiefer
against So for Doran.
The Kiefer forces seemed to assemble
all their strength in this precinct, and
the victory is accounted for in this
way. The next precinct, the Seventh,
| which is the nearest to Doran's resi-
| dence, was carried for him by a vote
| of 81 to 80 in his favor. This was ac-
| counted for by the fact that County
| Commissioner Paul Quehl was on his
| ticket, and Quehl is a hard man to
| beat at home.
Doran beat Kiefer in the Ninth by
| five votes, the vote being SO for Doran
| and Ga for Kiefer.
| In the Sixth, Doran had a narrow es-
| cape, the vote was 20 for Doran to 10
| jcrity Of 1, and in the First Kiefer
| retaliated by securing 30 votes to
Doran's %, beating Doran by two votes
| Kiefer also carried the Second and
| Eleventh precincts. The vote in the
| Eleventh, where there were tickets
! this being the only precinct in the ward
where Donahower tickets appeared
| was Donaffower %: Doran, 33, and
| Kiefer, So.
| The contest has been the hottest ever
known by the party in the Sixth. Dur
| ing the two hours of the primaries,
| hacks and carriages were hustHng in
all directions. getting out the voters.
