Special DisDateh to The Call

VENTURA, July Ex-senator Thomas
r. Bard was indorsed by the Repubh
cans of Ventura County at the primary
election held to-day. and at the county
convention on next Saturday d. 7. Per-
kins. Bard's candidats for the Assem-
bly,, will receive a unanimous nomina-
ton for the Legislature.
Bards victory was accomplished only
after a hard fought campaign and a
primary election that was as intense as
it was interesting. Only three or four
precincts in the county failed TO develop
opposition to the Bard ticket, and in all
but these few the election was strenuous
from start to finish.
The result was a surprise to both par
ties The Bard men were surprised at
the good showing made after the hard
fight put up by the Oxnard workers,
and the Oxnard men were surprised at
the few precincts they carried OF the
ninety-three delegates which will make
up the convention Perkins will have
sixty-two and Major Drif1l viii have
thirty-one. The wide difference in the
number of delegates does not indicate,
however, the cloSeness of the vote. The
Oxnard forces carried seven precincts
and part of another. and the Bard
FORCES the balance Ol the lWGHly -Sl6Al
precincts in the county.
In many of the precincts carried by
Bard the vote was close. the largest
ones giving the Perkins delegates only
bare majorities of from 4 to 16. The
smaller precincts, however, gave Per-
kins a vote Of three to one. The pre-
cincts in the town of Oxnard gave
DriffiH IL votes without opposition. In
the other precincts carried by the OK
nard men the vote was very close
Both Bard and Oxnard voted in their
, home precinct-Hueneme No. 1-Ox-
nard casting his first vote in the coun-
ty. That precinct, which had been con-
ceded TO the Oxnard forces, gave the
Bard candidate the delegation by a
small majority.
Senator Bard is pleased and gratified
over his splendid Endorsement by his
home county and feels that the people
have approved the stand he took re-
garding his candidacy.
Oxnard is not downcast by the defeat
in his own county, but proposes to car
ry the war into other sections Of the
State.
