Coroner-Harry I'D. Tutewfler.
Judge of the Juvenile Court
George w. stubbs.
Marion county Republicans yesterday
named their county ticket in convention
that was characterized by an unusual
amount of enthusiasm. large crowd
was in attendance in addition to the 76o
delegates. and interest in the contests was
at a high pitch. although the rivalries
were friendly and the utmost good nature
prevailed.
Three OF the nominations were made by
acclamation-Oliver p Ensley, for treas
urer; Charles p Benedict for prosecutor,
and Henry W. Klausmann. for surveyor.
and but one contest was sufficiently close
to make 1t necessary to complete a roll
call. George w. Stubbs. the incumbent.
and James A. Pritchard ran a neck and
neck race for the nomination for judge OF
the Juvenile Court. and it was not until
Wayne township. the last on the list. cast
its vote solid for Stubbs that his victory
was won.
In the race for sheriff it was found that
Edward G. Sourbier had more than a ma
jority of the votes after the third precinct
his nomination was made unanimous on
the motion of L. A. Fulmer seconded by
James r. Munro. Joseph L. Casper was
sprung a dark horse candidate for the
shrievalty, but Sourbier's organization was
too perfect for the movement to make any
headway and Casper received but a few
scattering votes.
John z. McGaughey won the nominal
trict over Fred wieze when the roll had
been called down TO and including the sec-~
ond precinct OF the Sixth ward
The contest for commissioner for the
Second district was the most interesting
one In the convention. aside from that of
judge Of the Juvenile Court. Three candi-
dates were placed in nomination-John
McGregor. the incumbent. A. A. womaclr
and Albert b. Carter 1t was apparent
from the outset that McGregor was a
strong favorite and that he had the best
organization. However, it was necessary
to call the roll down to the tenth pre-
cinct of Wayne township before it was ap-
parent that the victory was his and his
opponents gracefully yielded to the will Of
the majority.
Henry ID. Tutewiler made a runaway race
OF the contest for coroner and when the
roll of twelve wards had been completed
1t was seen that the nomination was his.
DR.. r. w. Garstang accordingly made the
motion that the nomination of his opponent
be made unanimous.
