Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1904-04-08
YESTERDAYS PRIMARIES.

The Republican primaries held in
the several precincts yesterday after
noon were orderly and quiet, as
primaries in Polk county always are,
and the contests were remarkably free
from partisan bitterness, notwith
standing the intense interest and en-
thusiastic work of the friends of the
various candidates. The attendance
was unusually large in every precinct
although the weather conditions were
ideal for outdoor work. In majority
of the precincts, the vote cast lin the
primaries was larger than the total
Republican vote in the same precincts
at the June election two years ago-an
attendance unheard of before in Polk
county primary elections Interest
throughout the county centered in the
contest in the three Dallas precincts,
and the battle here was close and ex-
citing. The kirkpatrick ticket was
elected in North Dallas and East
Dallas, and was defeated in South
Dallas. Complete returns from the
county will probably be in this morn
ing, and the candidates for the various
offices can now get busy figuring on
their chances for nomination in to-
morrow's convention.
Until the returns are all in, it will
be difficult to estimate the relative
strength of all the men who are
aspiring to the office of Senator, for
the reason that in several precincts
where the Senatorial contest was not
as open and clearly defined as in
others, delegates were elected whose
choice for this office is not positively |
known. The real strength of any
candidate this morning is an unknown
quantity, and developments are
awaited.
