Notes.

The democratic threat to challenge
every republican vote cast in the county
proved to be exactly what 1t was sup
posed to be, big bluff to intimidate re-
publican voters.
When the polls opened at O'clock
this morning the crowds awaiting an OPP
iportunity to cast their ballots were not
interfered within fact there were few
democrats in sight. If the instructions
which democratic workers were ordered
to call and receive from their county
chairman We're given out at all they
We're to the effect that no challenging
vac to be done. The democrats aban-
ldoned their threats and seem to have
Ideserted their would be candidate for
coroner, DR.. Brady, and centered their
EFFORTS toward defeating the republican
nominee for supervisor, Mr.. A. "A. Rob-
inson.
In this city the democrats had car
lriages out With shipton placards there
lon. but they found little to do and 1t
was demonstrated that the opposition
in this city to Mr.. Robinson was con-
fined to the democratic ranks. In some
lof the country precincts, notably Mari
on, MIR. Sh!pton' home, and Vienna and
Taylor, the Opposition is cutting slightly
into Mr.. Robinson's vote. The republi-
lean primary left some sore spots and
some of Mr.. Bueghly's friends have re-
fused to accept their defeat with the
usual grace. Mr.. Bueghly wac present.

lfriends up for Mr.. Robinson and by this
faction place himself in position to ask

cOunty, but he has thrown. obstacles in
\ his own path by refusing to do az he
would be done by under similar circum-
i stances and has allowed few OF his
4 personal friends and followers to work
hand in hand with the democrats in try
ling to accomplish Robinson's defeat.
