DEMOCRATIC
PRIMARIES
Representative Delegations Elected In
Most Precincts.
MEETINGS GENERALLY HARMONIOUS
But Few Candidates Have So
Far Appeared.

The democrats held their pri.
maries throughout this county
Monday and so far as reports have
been received nearly every precinct
will send delegations to both con-
ventions. In nearly all outside
precincts there was "a marked in
crease in the vote showing a revi-
val of interest in the party. In
Grangeville the vote was light with
the exception of ward 3 where a
lively contest was waged and q
very heavy vote polled.
But few candidates have SO far
announced themselves and it is
doubtful if there will be any con-
test for places on the county ticket.
j. 1. Overman seems to be the
unanimous choice for auditor.
For sheriff J. V. Baker, of Cotton
wood, Geo. Seay of Kooskia and
Nick McGree of Mt. Idaho are
mentioned. Reese Hattabaugh and
E. M. Griffith are both being sup
ported for prosecuting attorney
with the chances in favor of the
former. Hampton Taylor and r.
F. Fulton are talked Of for probate
judge but neither of them are
seeking the place. Mrs. Sarah
Spedden is being urged to accept
the nomination for school superin-
tendent. f. S. Hancock Of Cotton
wood is prominently mentioned for
coroner. AS yet little has been
said about the legislative ticket
and commissioners but no doubt
plenty Of good men can be found
to accept the places.
There is strong sentiment
among the democrats favoring the
Endorsement of Judge f. G. Steele
for this district and it is quite
probable the delegation to the state
convention will recommend it.

are as follows:
