Strong Ticket Yesterday
Inc Democrats of Bellaire and Pult-
ney township held a very quiet pri-
mary election yesterday from to
p. m, and an unusually large vote was
polled III each OF the six precincts in
the city. In fact, the number of Dem
ocrats which Bellaire turned out YES
terday has not been equalled in MANY
years.
The majority of the voters went to
the polls early, manifesting no little
amount OF interest in selecting their
faYorlte candidates, and when the re-
suit was known last night it met with
the approval of all. Prominent Re
publicans were heard to say that it
was an excellent ticket and promised
TO make split in the Republican
ranks at the polls in April. The pre-
clncts at st. Clairsville Junction and
West Wheeling will not be heard from
until Monday, but they will fail to cut
any figure in the decision known last
evening. The only office for which
there was a contest in the township
was assessor.
