There were three candidates In he
race, MIR. Meredith, Dr. Campbell and
w. A. Dowell of Cumberland. The
latter polled about 100 votes. The vote
cast was a fairly good one for prim-
ary election. Mr.. Meredtth's nominal
ton makes his election certain as the
democrats of the county at the rec ant
meeting Of their county committee 'ie-
cided to nominate no candidate II he
were nominated. The nomination is
regarded partly as a victory for he
Cunmnins forces, but mainly is the re-
suit of the personal esteem in which
Mr.. Meredith is held by men in all
walks Of life. He served two terms as
county attorney of this county.
Cass county has been one of i.he
counties claimed by the standpatters in
