Walbridge Runs Far Behind the
County Ticket Led by Con
gressman Bartholdt.
VICT0RS ALL REPUBLICANS.
Returns. With Two Precincts Still
Out. Show That Cook and
Allen Were Extensively
...,- Scratched.

Joseph W. Folk led the Democratic tick
tien. receiving 3e7 more votes than Elijah
+. Stone. the Democratic nominee for
Prosecuting Attorney. who led the county
ticket. Returns from all but two precincts
are now in the County Clerks Office. but
as both are small the total figures will not
be materially changed.
The two precincts to be heard from are
New Alsace and Centaur. In the first the
Governor elect received but seven votes
and in the second, it is said. he received
about forty-five.
Walbridge ran behind the ticket consid-
erably, receiving but 6501 votes. as COM
pared with 7.314 received by Congressman
Richard Bartholdt. who led the county
ticket. Most of the scratching of the Re-
publican candidate was done in suburban
precincts.
The precincts carried by Folk were Des
Peres. Republican: Florissant. Democratic.
and Glendale. Republican. In Des Peres
Folk received 1i1 votes to forty-three cast
for Walbridge.
In their anxiety to receive returns on
the county ticket. the Clayton officials
did not think of candidates for minor Of
fees on the State ticket. Consequently
until the official count to-day. the vote for
these offices will not be known. 1t IS
known. however. that both sam b. COOK
and Albert O. Allen were eStenslVetS
scratched. and ii was estimated by sew
eral precinct judges yesterday that neither
would receive over 2.5Oo votes IN the
county.
No figures were kept on the vote on the
constitutional amendments. but it is re-
garded as certain that they were lost:
These statements in Clayton yesterday
were based on the known hosuhty OF
Albert E. l.. Gardner. the Republican
candidate for State Senator from the
Twenty-fifth Senat torial District, was
elected without opposition.
