REPUBLICAN PRIMARY
FOR STATE DELEGATES
City Wards Witness Struggles Be-
tween Candidates for Lieu
tenant Governor
DELEGATION FOR TAYLOR
No Attempt to Break in on Local
Candidate. for Governor
Heavy Vote Polled.

That interest in the Republican state con-
vention. which will be held next Tuesday
and Wednesday, is keenly alive was demon
strated yesterday by the heavy vote cast
at the city primaries when the wards of
the city elected delegates to the conven-
tion In a majority of the wards there
was little opposition to the regular states.
but the Second, Fifth, Ninth, Twelfth and
Fifteenth were scenes of heated contests.
In two of these wards the elections were
contested-the Fifth and Twelfth-and the
successful slate will not be known until
this morning, when the contests ad-
justed by the board of primary election
commissioners.
1t is conceded that the delegates elected
yesterday are for w. l.. Taylor for Gov
ernor, and that 1t was the race for lieuten-
ant governor which infused spice into the
primary elections. While no estimate could
be placed on the strength of the three
candidates for this nomination, all were
more or less satisfied last night L. P.
Newby claimed that he will draw at least
so of the 124 delegates from Marion county.
w. L. Ball and Hugh TIL. Miller who, it
is said. united forces in several wards, do
not concede Newby the ma ajority. Neither
Mr.. Bal nor Mr.. Miller was giving figures
on his vote from the county. but each said
he felt he was well represented in the list
of dele gates.
With the exception of the Ninth ward re-
turns were received from all parts of the
city last night at the Republican county
headquarters. The vote was great deal
heavier than had been expected and the in
terest was general. Reports from the Sec
ond ward. where il required over two hours
