TROUBLE IN SIGHT
FOR THE NOMINEE
Frank Eaker Has Enough In
structed Votes to Win.
Some of the Other Candidates for
Coroner Are Not Satisfied
Talk of Contests.
LIVELY TIME is EXPECTED

Frank Eaker has enough instruct
cd votes to win for him the Demo-
cratic nomination for coroner on the
first ballot Wednesday, when the
county convention meets. He stated
this morning that he had 81 in
structed delegates and is confident
that he will get majority of the
uninstructed. 1t is reported that Ed
Eaker has the proxies of all the four
uninstructed delegates in Rogers
precinct and will cast them for
Frank Eaker. He is said to be get
ting other proxies.
Coon Johnson does not believe
that Mr.. Eaker will be elected on the
first ballot and says If he isn't that
he will not be elected at all. He has
but seven delegates. Twenty-nins
votes elect
Some of the other Democratic
candidates, Judging from their talk,
do not seem to be satisfied with the
way the prscinct conventions were
conducted in some places Saturday.
One candidate claims that he had
&c supporters at one voting place
and Eaker only two, and yet the in
structions were given to Eaker
There is already talk of a contest
over several of the precincts.
From present indications there will
be trouble over the nomination Z,
which may result in the defeat of
the Democratic nominee, whoever he
is.
Mr.. NJ. Nance, for several years
coroner, is running as an independ-
ent candidate. and expects TO make
quite hole in the Democratic vote
The chances for the Republican nom
lnee, Mr.. Anderson Miller, to win In
November are good. particularly
since some of the Democratic candi-
dates and their friends became Sc
sore.
A Lively time is expected in the
convention Wednesday however. de-
spite the apparent walk-over for Ea-
ker, as all of the candidates have
friends and they expect TO be on
hand.
