| This is the county ticket as named
by the Republican voters of the
county at the primary held on Tues
day and while some of the members
on the ticket come as surprise to
many people, the ticket is regarded
as strong one. The nomination of
4Pfennig, Crosby and Torrey came as
singing rebuke to attempted dicta-
ton in Kenosha county and the large
apluralities and mdjorities accorded to
rthese men show that the people of
this county are not willing to have
any ring dictate the men who shall
run for Office.
| The vote on the county ticket was
decidedly light and it seems that
many Democrats took part in naming
the Republican candidates.
| In the matter of majorities Charles
H. Pfennig led all other candidates
in the county, having plurality
over Henry 'Fau1tless, the ring man,
of 514 and he was only p votes short
of a majority of all the votes cast for
sheriff. Pfennig was strong in every
ward in the city and in nearly every
town in the county. Faultless failed
to get single precinct in the city and
in some wards where iawas thought
that Faultless would poll heavy
] vote PfenGig led him 2 to 1. The
early returns showed that James Fer
ris, candidate for register of deeds,
NJ had a good run in some of the north
I wards but when the south wards and
! the towns began to send in returns it
was evident that Torrey had beaten
and beaten him badly. Torrey gained
! steadily by the votes of the towns and
I when the final figures were made up
/ he had decidedly comfortable
majority. Crosby had little trouble in
! defeating Charles Likes for county
jtclerk winning in almost every town
and ward by large majorities.
The contest for the county Offices
formed the most bitter part Of the
primary struggle and in all the wards
and towns many of the ballots showed
that the voter had entirely overlooked
the state candidates in order to give
their support to the county favorites.
/ Pfennig and Davidson ran a close
i race in the connty with Pfennig
sslightly in the lead.
4 Early last night the nomination Of
the three men on whom the most bit
ter fight had been made, was conceded
and it was only matter of how much
The endorsement of Assemb1yman
w. NJ. Curtiss in some of the rural
. towns was not what had been ex.
pected by his friends.
II Frank Waldo and Alvin H. Blood,
who had no opposition, got good en-
dorsement from the voters.
! One of the surprises of the primary
was the defeat of DR.. H. A. Robinson
for coroner. The doctor had made an
excellent official, but DR.. Andre was
SO well known throughout the county
that he had heavy majority over
Robinson.
