 Opponents. TO BE COUNTY TREASURER Democratic Primary Election
 Passed Off Quietly. Candidates Appear to Have Kant Cochran, Collier, Clisby. Brame, Cone, O'Connor, in the Or der Named.

John J. Cochran will succeed himself as Treasurer of Montgomery County. This is the verdict of the Democratic primary election held yesterday to i'll the vacancy on the county ticket caused by the death of Hon. w. E. McGehee, the nominee of the April primary.
 Early in the night it developed that the only question to be settled by re- turns from the primary was the size of Mr. Cochran's majority. No intense interest was felt in the primary and the returning officers of the county beats will bring in their boxes at their leis- ure. The city beats and several of the country beats were heard from, how ever, and these returns established be- yond doubt that MT. Cochran was too far in the lead of his five opponents to be overtaken.
 At g o'clock s. A. Solomon, who has been actively interested in MT. Coch- ran's campaign, said that his plurality over his nearest opponent would be .n the neighborhood of 250 votes.
 Isaac D. Collier of Beat 14. the re- turns received last night indicated, would be the second man in the race. George c. Clisby follows. and then w W. Brame with Mir Cone and MT. O'Connor farther in the rear.
 Cochran Carried the City.
 While conceding Mir. Cochrans cleo tion. some of MT. Golfers supporters asserted that his majority would be cut down when all the country beats were heard from. MT. Cochran receiv- ed a handsome vote in the six city beats. He has a large plurality over all his opponents In the city beats.
 Of the six city beats, MT. Cochran carried 1, 2 and 4. MT. Clisby carried Beat by a small plurality, and MT. Collier secured the plurality in Beats and 6.
 In addition to the six city beats, re. liable information has been received from Beats 16, 17 and IS, and unofficial information has come in from Beat 15.

 Election Was Quiet.
 The primary election was still and quiet. There was a dearth of excite ment about the polling places. The crowds about the polling places were much smaller than Is usual. The no- ticeable feature about the various poll ing places was the number of employees or officials of the banks of the city
