Tuesday was an ideal day for the
election. The sky was clear and
though the day was warm very few
felt the heat because Of the excite
ment. All day long the streets were
crowded with voters who we're deep
in conjectureyregarding the outcome
Of the primary. A heavy vote was
polled and more than passing interest
seemed to be displayed.
The returns came in slower than
usual. The intricacies OF the new
tickets and theEfact every lparty had
candidates made the work Of the
Judges harder and longer. A full re-
turn from all precincts is not expected
before Thursday though they DO not
have to be fled until Saturday.
In a Democratic community like
Audrain nothing but the votes Of that
party seem to interest the public
much.
For Lieutenant Governor Audrain
gave a majority Of her votes to Mr..
Painter; for auditor, Dierksi secre-
tary Of state, Roach; treasurer, Cow
gill; attorney general, Maiorsi R..R.
and warehouse commissioner, Knott;
Judge Of ST. Louis court Of appeals,
Bryan; Judge Of Supreme court, IShel-
ton; state senator, Stark; representa-.

The county officers nominated were
Judge OF western distrist Groves
Judge Of the eastern district; prose
cutting attorney Cant; Sheriff Wool
cry; ASSESSOR Kelso; treasurer Noble
Barnes; Surveyor Mckinney; public
administrator Howell; Coroner Coil.
At the final counts of the Kudrain
