SHARP CONTEST
AND CLOSE VOTE
Both Factions Spring
Surprises in the
Precincts

Up to o'clock a comparatively light
vote had been cast at the republican
primaries. The contest opened sharply
at all the polling places, but after the
first rush of voting there was a lull
| Of proceedings. 1t was found that peo-
| pie in the resident districts were slow
in coming to the polls on account of
the heat
| AT O'Clock the register stood less
than 200 votes in the First precinct,
about $50 votes in the Second precinct.
| fifty in the Third precinct and forty
in the Fourth precinct.
! Partisans in each precinct claimed
a small majority for their special tick
| cts. A heavy poll is expected between
now and Z o'clock when the polls close
In the city, the contest between the ad-
| ministration forces and the Rorah
forces is running close.
Close Vote on Organic alton.
In the First ward there was a close
contest for the organization, but the
administration forces won out by a
small margin. and elected Fred Wood

The first vote was on clerk. and a
division of the house was called for
when the name of Tom Tabor was put
up. The vote stood % to 81 and Tom

! istration forces then named K. Mau-
Nfice, ID he was elected by acclama-
| ton. Tom Tabor was then chosen by
acclamation.
After this test of strength there was
no further call for division. The ad-
ministration forces were admitted to
be in power, and named their own peo-
| ple Strai q throupb Roth Si5aS ,vara

however
Spring New Ticket in Third.
Somebody has played somebody else
false in the Third ward for ticket
| other than the compromise one made
! its appearance during the early stages
of the voting Before the polls opened
! a compromise ticket had been agreed
| upon. Apparently everything was go
| ing according to Hoyle when a man
who did not know much about voting
approached the judges and clerks.
He wanted instructions During the
process of enlightenment the mans
ticket was opened and those within the
vista We're surprised to see five names
which We're not to be found upon the
compromise ticket. There was con-
sternation i'm moment. Everybody
was asking everyone else who was fos-
tering the new ticket, how it came to
be sprung, and for whom the delegates
stood. Nobody didn't know nothin'
the same as the man who voted.
The personnel of the ticket follows:
Lonehorn. John Halloran and A. A.
Masters
It's treachery on the part of some"
cried the watchers but nobody seemed
to know who that some one was.
At the Fourth war there was no con-
test the judges and clerks being elect
ed by acclaniation.
