last InurSddy we were undole
to give the compl etc official re-
turns for the second primary, ow.
ing to the fact that up to that
hour no returns had come in
from two precincts, viz, Oak

in the day Oak Ridge was heard
from and the vote from that poll
added to the official score. AT.
ter waiting till o'clock p. m. p,

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING
After the votes were tabulated
the following candidates were
declared elected, each having re-
ceived a majority of the votes
cast in the second primary:
House of Representatives, P H
Stoll; County Supervisor, J J
Graham; County Treasurer, G W
Johnson; Coroner, r K Gamble;
County Commissioners, K d
Blakeley and A R Eaddy.
It was announced by the chair
man that Mr. w NJ Smith had
withdrawn from the second race,
and for that reason his name was
left off the ticket as a candidate
for county commissioner in the
second primary.
It having been brought to the
attention of the committee that
Mr. William Cooper had received
a plurality of the votes cast for
the office of county superintend-
ent of education in the first pri-
mary and that through an error
in the addition it appeared that
Mr. T Olin Epps was elected and
the result had been so declared ,
a motion was made and unani-
mously carried that the commit
tee rescind it's action declaring
the election of Mr. Epps and that
Mr. Cooper be declared the
nominee of the party. In.
cidentally the chairman stated
that as soon as the error was
made public Mr. Epps had writ
ten to him saying that he be-
lieved Mr. Cooper to have been
fairly elected and relinquishing
all claim to the Office.
The treasurer submitted his
report to the committee showing
receipts and disbursements OF
the campaign and the balance
left on hand. 1t was moved and
ordered that this balance, after
paying all approved claims, he
carried over to the next election
as the nucleus of a fund to pay
the managers for holding the
primary of 1908.
