THE PRIMARY ELECTION.

there was no trouble at any point.
John P. Ksarfott was elected to the
Legislature over @. NJ. Wstzsl by 100
majority. Mr.. Keartott's personal
popularity was great advantage to
him, and the fact that many persons
have the idea that there should be fire.
quent changes in Office was in his fav-
or. Besides, the ssloon-ksepsrs were
against Mr.. Wetzel because he voted
to submit the prohibition amendment
to the vote of the people. Even those
who supported Mr.. Kssrfott greatly
regret that so good a man a. Mr.. Wet
eel is defeated.
For the sheriffslty Charles D. Wy
song had majority of 1913 over j. B.
Osbourn. This result was anticipated.
as Mr.. Osbourn came into the field
rather late. 1t is generally agreed
that Mr.. Wysong will make most ca.
p4bIe officer.
One of the real surprises was the
majority Of 3l7 that Charles A. John
son had for the county clerkship over
James Grantham. 1t was believed
that the fight would be very close.
Mr.. johnson is the present deputy
clerk, and he will, we are sure, Eli
the Office Of clerk very accsptablY.
For clerk of the circuit court the
incumbent, John NJ. Dsnisl, had = ma.
jority of $50 over B. Lee Moore, but
Mr.. Moore polled goot vote for a
novice, 844.
The fight for prosecuting attorney
was hot one, and the two leaders,
George D. Moore and F. L. BushOng,
ran neck and neck, the former having
a plurality of "a over the latter. The
two at the other end of the ticket were
still closer together, Geo. NJ. Beltz-
hoover, Jr., having "a more votes than
John T. Porter6sld. The vote was
Moore 765, Bushong 7Ol, Beltzhoovsr
549 and Porterfeld 524.

walkover. BE got 1891 votes, W.
@. Daniels 3l8 and o. NJ. Harris 273.
N. T. Snyder and John @. Burns
