Threatened Shooting
Ends Primary Battle in
the City of Bakersfield
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE oArL,

BAKERSFIELD, July THE Re
publican primaries held in this city
today provoked one of the hardest
fought political contests ever known
in the history of politics in this county.
It was a battle of the machine against
the anti-machine element and from the
time the polls opened at noon until the
closing time at O'Clock tonight the
opposing factions fought tooth and
nail. Men were voted regardless of
political af1liation and those whose
names did not appear on the register
were registered at temporary registra-
ton booths presided over by men rep
resenting each of the factions.
A gun fight" was narrowly averted
shortly before time for the voting to
cease. In an attempt of an anti-ma-
chine man to prevent an opponent cast
ing his ballot heated discussion arose
and in the remarks passed the former
was soundly cursed. He cried, Give
me a gun!" and attempted to secure a
weapon, but friends pushed him from
the scene before his efforts were sue
cessful. At this hour 1T is difficult to
predict the outcome of the election.
The machine is usually successful in
this city by a two to one vote. But
few of the country precincts have been
heard from and until they have been
the outcome will be in doubt.
