HOT. FIGHT OVER TREASURER
Friends of Lenert Claim . Clear Ma
JOrity of the Delegates
for Him.

The contest for the nomination for county
treasurer proved the most exciting issue
at the republican city precinct primaries
last night. Emil Leffert showed remark
able strength and is credited with forty of
the sixty-nine delegates selected last night
in the several city precincts to attend the
county convention next Tuesday, while j.
p. Greenshields is said to have only twenty
eight.
Lenert claims the following delegations:
First ward, both precincts; three in the
First precinct of the Second ward, where
there was a tie vote; the Second precinct
of the Second ward, the Second precinct
OF the Third ward, the Second precinct of
the Fourth ward, four of the First pre-
cinct of the Fifth ward and all Of the Sec
ond precinct. one in the First precinct of the
Sixth ward.
Ed Canning, as candidate for the nomina-
ton for sheriff, is said to have a majority
Of the delegates. although accurate figures
on this were not o~btainable last night.
Indications last night were that Laffert
would develop sufficient strength in the con-
vention to land the nomination for treas
urer. Six country precincts heard from give
him eleven delegates. Greenshields nine and
Consistency one. Leffert and his friends
were claiming forty-three out OF the sixty
nine delegates, including four in the First
princt of the Fifth ward and one in the
First precinct of the Sixth.
