Race For Clerkshin-

Another pretty race was for the
county clerkShip. The entries were al
fales Young, a. s. Fowler. Ben T
Lloyd. \. j. Scare and Fred w Little.
Mr. Fowler and Mr.. Lloyd led from
the start though the others had votes
enough to prevent the nomination of
either. Two ballots were taken and ON
the second Mr.. Fowler lacked only a
few votes of the requisite majority
His opponents saw that if another
ballot was taken he would be nomi-
mated. so they determined TO force an
adjournment. a delegate from Murray
got the floor. He moved that inasmuch
the convention could not complete
the ticket last night that an adjourn
ment be taken after the announcement
of the vote until 10 o'clock this morn
ing. He argued that this would give
the Murray people a change 10 catch a
home bound car.
The Fowler people instantly saw the
trap and sought to avoid it The vote
on adjournment was first taken viva
voce and Judge Powers declared il car
ried. A division was called for and
again Judge Powers declared the mo-
ton carried. The result of the second
ballot was announced and while half a
dozen Fowler men were vigorously try
ing TO move a reconsideration of the
vote on adjournment, Judge Powers
brought his gavel down with a bang
that sounded like a pistol shot and it
was all over for last night
The strongest kind of arguments
were used by both sides after the re-
cess was taken It was predicted nv
the opposition to Fowler that he would
be beaten this morning. His friends. on
the other hand, declared that he would
not only hold his strength of last night
but that he would gain enough votes
TO insure his nomination on tho firSt
roll call this morning.

Although a heavy price has been
paid, the victory of the allies Is re-

the losses Had the foreign troops
been forced to retire. it is felt that all
China would have risen to drive out
the invaders. The allies. from the
point of view of the officials and dip

feated. They must strike a heavy
blow, not only to demoralize the Chi

ter the rest of China from joining In
the hostilities.
Pei-Tsang is eleven or twelve miles

natural defensive strength. The Chi

Japanese reconnaissance, had dug
trenches and loopholed houses. The
