The Men Elected Are for Charles ~
Elliott. Who Has No Opposition
for County Chairman.
VOTE IS UNUSUALLY HEAVY
ELECTION COMMISSIONERS WILL
SETTLE CONTESTS TONIGHT.
On Monday Afternoon in the Criminal
Court Room the New Committed
Will BE Organized.

The heavy vote that was polled at the
Republican primaries yesterday was an in
dicatiOn that there is no apathy In the
party in Marion county. The primaries
were for the purpose of electing the mem
bers of the new county committee, which
is 70 be composed Of one Republican from
each precinct. Men who have taken part
in many contests of this kind say that
yesterdays primaries brought out the larg-
est vote ever polled in this city or county
for precinct committeeman.
1t was understood last night that the
N. Elliott. who is the only avowed candi-
date for county chairman. In fact, Mr..
Elliott's friends were saying that prob
ably 90 per cent. of the committeeman
selected were Elliott men. AS usual in
these contests, there was considerable spir-
tied contention as to who should repre-
sent the precinct. and there will be a num-
Der of contests for the board of election
commissioner to pass on when they meet
in the Criminal Court room at 8 o'clock to-
night.
However, it is quite natural tina there
should be contests where so large a vote
was polled and where there is so much in
terest in the reorganization Of the commit
tee. 1t was stated that in one precinct
13S votes were polled without a contest.
There were two or three contests in the
Seventh ward. In the second and four
teenth precincts there were contests, and
In the first precinct OF the Seventh ward
there was a contest on account of a tie
vote. In the thirteenth precinct Of the
First ward there was a tie vote between
Gully and Hill, which was decided by draw
ing straws. Gully drew the lucky straw.
Other contests were in the eleventh pre-
cinct of the Fourth ward, the fourteenth
precinct of the Sixth ward, the first pre-
cinct of the Tenth ward, the eighth pre-
cinct of the Fourteenth ward and in the
fourth and ninth precincts of the Fifteenth
ward.
The election commissioners will be asked
to pass on the charge made by John ].
Stalker and II. l.. Veach, who claim that
in the fourteenth precinct of the Seventh
ward there were more names on the tally
sheets than there were ballots in the box.
They also claim they saw a man put bal
lots in the box at a time when no voting
was supposed to be going on.
The new committee will be organized on
Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock in the Grim
inal Court room. At that time l.. f. Atkin,
the present chairman, will give way to
the new chairman. Following is the list of
