has passed and some OF the political
oakes have been felled. Three OF
the present State officers as result
of Tuesdays contests will be Office
holders no longer after January
McMahan, Floyd and Wilborn. The
declaration of the results last night
by the State Democratic Executive
Committee was a mere matter OF
form, the complete figures tsbulated
in no way changing results. The
work was speedily done, for the tabu-
lation was complete before the com,
mittee met, and the session was ez,
tremely brief. Many of the candi'
dates were about the committee room
to see what would come up, but there
was nothing to interest them save
personal encounter in the lobby be-
tween two gentlemen, neither of
whom we're candidates or members
of the committee.
TaIbert is in second race with Hey
ward. The final official figures are
Talbert 1925; Ansel 1858, the
missing boxes having come in. Re-
suits could hardly have been more
exact. The State gave, too. Hey
wards vote as 36,492, subject to the
few missing boxes. The official
figures are 56,551. Talbert goes
into the second race by 52S votes.
Yesterday morning the Associated
Press sent out from Charleston total
figures that were not warranted by
the correct returns, and this explains
why it was that inquiries poured IN
to ascertain. upon what was based
the newspaper publication and Asso-
ciated Press dispatch putting Ansel
in the second race. In the tanula-
tion from which the results sent out
were obtained Talbert was deprived
of thousand votes in Marion coun-
sy that belonged to him. Many soon
located the error made in the only
nip. and tuck ana vitality important
contest of the series. But accidents
will happen. The mistake in The
States total for Hayward Thursday
morning was an instance, but the
votes spoke for themselves and no
close race was affected. There was
another instance of the same kind
yesterday. Henderson's vote beng
given IS 1885 when it should have
been 1925. The votes by counties,
however, called for the latter figure.

the first race by SITS.
