The interest conferred on the candidacy of Judges Jackson T.. Smith
and II. &. Timmonds, candidates for Judge of Kansas City Court Of
Appeals, the friends of each losing sight of all others on the ticket i'll an
effort to aid their favorte.
The successful candidates in the round up were Folk, kuhey, Cook,
Allen, Orchard, Grow, Hurt, Woodson and Smith. The closest race by
precinct was between Orchard and Cowgirl for State Treasurer, the Ell
tire vote of the county being necessary to decide this contest. The
result reached gave Orchard a majority of a.. The activity shown in
Versailles precinct was very marked, 269 votes having been cast.
The names Of all the candidates for State Offices were placed on the
ticket, giving the voter an opportunity to make his individual choice in
each instance.
The prediction made by the Democrat many times during the past
few months that Morgan county was for Folk was fully verified. The
