 Massfn or Maners
 Friends of tho tied candidates last night claimed Pine Level for their fa- vorIte, but political wiseacres declare that Captain Mastin has undoubtedly boiled more votes at Pine Level than L. nomination of the veteran citizen of Montgomery County.
 Much interest was felt in the primary election held yesterday in the Second ConEressional District because of the contest raised before the State Com mittee over the manner in which the primary election was ordered by the District Committee. Congressman A. A. Wiley was the only candidate who qualified and consequently his name was the only name of a candidate for Congress printed on the ballots. Not withstanding this, Hon Thomas J. Hall of Montgomery was voted for in every one of the nine counties except Butler County, where no election, was held. The total vote of Congressman Wiley in Montgomery County was 2,099, the date on yssterday's ticket MT. Hall boiled 2STlvotes in this county.
 Day Was Cool and Clear.
 Early yesterday morning 1t seemed that Montgomery County was to have a stormy day for It's primary election. One of the heaviest rains of the year prevailed throughout the early morning hours, but soon after daylight the rain ceased and the day was cool and clear. This no doubt had the effect of Tighten ing the vote in the country beats, as the roads were very muddy.
 Taking the combined vote for State Senator as a basis. the Democrats of the county boiled a total of 2.7S4 votes, It was quiet election day in Mont gomery. and the polling places were devoid of incidents.
 The friends of MT Maner, a candi- date for Representative, were perhaps more ardent than they otherwise would have been because Mir. Maner had been called away from the city by the death of his brother in Tennessee.
