Manager s A. Means, speaking for
Colonel Campbell makes the posi-
tive assertion that his man will re-
ceiye more than 500 votes on the
first ballot and has sufficient second
choice instructions to win the prize.
Just now the fight is for second
place: as the low man realizes that
the best he can do is to make a com
bination and throw his votes to the
least Objectionable of his rivals
In Ellis county the contest be-
III
NJ. NJ. Books for the lead is very
close, In fact. it is so very close
that il matters not which one car
ries the county each will have an
equal number of convention votes.
Complete returns from forty-three
out of forty-seyen precincts give the
following for governor;
Campbell 1716. Brooks, 1714, Col
quit $50, Bell 926. According to
these figures Campbell leads Brooks
by the very narrow margin of two
votes. Auburn, Crisp. Boz and Pc
can Grove are yet to hear from X
is known that Brooks carried Auburn
but the exact figures are not OBJ
| tainable. 1t is believed that when
| the official count is made next Satur-
! day Brooks will be ahead of Camp
| bell by about 81 or 40 votes. This is
| probably one of the closest contests
| that ever took place between two
! candidates in Ellis county. Ellis
county has IL votes in the state con-
| vention this year, and in figuring
out each candidates prorata the re-
fa.l1
Campbell f. Brooks 4, Bell IL,
and Colquitt l IL.
| Hill carried the county by big
majority for lieutenant governor.
Other candidates for state offices
who carried the county are Terrell
| for land commissioner, Sparks for
! treasurer, Williams for railroad COM
| missioner and Henderson for judge
of the court of criminal appeals.
In the contest for judge of the
fortieth judicial district F. l.. Haw-
| lins leads G. c. Groce in Ellis coun-
tv by about 727 votes, with three or
four small boxes to hear from. II
is understood that Hawkins carried
Rockwall county by a small majority
and was 500 ahead in Kaufman
county Monday afternoon, with seven
boxes to be heard from.
The count in the West WaNdhachie
and North WaXahachie boxes was
