gan caused considerable surprise, al.
though 1t was expected that he would
make good showing. In the city 1t

Voters Remembered the IVY"
DR.. A. w. Miller's clear-cut .victery
surprised many, who expected con-
fusion when A. P. Miller, driver OF a
laundry wagon, filed for the Demo
cratic nomination for coroner, It was
feared that the similarity of his name
with that of DR.. Miller would result In
the defeat of the coroner. This. proved
not to be the case. as Dr.. Miller re-
ceiveds a total of 1892 votes. while his
three opponents got but 1921. giving
Miller a. clear majority OF !, &c e. over
ALL The expectation that DR.. Robfflard
would make a strong run for. the He
publican nomination against DR.. J. G.
Nelson proved a false alarm, Nelson
winning by vote of more than two
t to one.
The Republican war horses received
a jolt In the nomination of Howard
Wheeler for county attorney. it hap-
ing been planned by. the leaders that
Harvey E. Hall should have this NOM
ination. Not only did Wheeler de-
feat his opponent. and the Republican
machine, but did the job IN a de-
cisive manner, receivingea plurality of
706. Wheeler's vote was 4,717 and
Halls 4,011
Fred Beck won the Democratic nom
nation for county auditor by the mar
row margin Of 160-votes. he receiving
1852 and J. w. Hinkens 2,372. This
contest was one of the most spirited in
the campaign. For some days before
the primary was held the friends of
the candidates were confident, and
there were those who believed that
Edward Peterson would win. Charles
Mobery polled 3,1S8 votes against E.
G. Krahmer for the Republican, nomi-
nation, making a showing that is
Republican nominee.
Capt. Gallick swept the field in the
run for the Republican nomination for
court commissioners There were 10,-
$50 votes polled for the four candi-
dates, Gallick receiving 1896 and his
competitors $3.50. E.. B. Wood polled
1922 votes, running second.
In its attempt to name the candi-
dates of both parties for county COM
missioners the Good Roads association
Jared badly, there being but two of
the eight Endorsed who were nomi-
mated. They were Seng and Jensen
Republicans.
The bitter fight between John F.
Selb and Renville Chinnock for the
Republican legislative nomination in
the Fifth ward was in many respects
equaled by the contest in the Sixth
ward between Anthony Yoerg and M
p. Moriarty for the Democratic noni-
nation, and the struggle between M. D
Flower and J. III. Beck for the Repub-
lican nomination in the Seventh ward
In the Fifth Selb won out handily
defeating Chinook by a vote of 1872 tc
1885, making Selb's majority .297. In
the Seventh Gen. Flower showed Beck
| under by vote of 1925 to s887. In
the Sixth the outcome was too close
for comfort. Moriarty goes on the
Democratic ballot unless there should
be contest and the result thereby
changed, by majority Of Z. The vote
