HERBERT IS
FOUR AHEAD

Returns in the county primary elec
tion from the missing boxes were re
ported last night or this morning, but
at the time this article is written
three boxes have not been delivered
to the clerk of the county central
committee, these being South Springs
Penasco and Plains.
The returns show definitely that
there remains but one office over
which there is any question as to the
result, assessor. J. T. Evans for pro.
bate Judge, w. NJ. Atkinson for COM
missioner End district. " R. Kenney
for surveyor and c. c. Hill for school
superintendent, were all nominated
without opposition. James Sutherland
for treasurer, c. l.. Ballard for sher-
III, and F. P. Gayle for probate clerk
were all nominated by good MAORI
ties, and N. J. Fritz defeated Jerry
Cazier for commissioner Bird district
by a smaller vote.
Over the assessorship there still
remains some doubt. There is on the
face of the unofficial returns a slight
difference, of four votes, in favor of
Guy Herbert over Fred Beck, but
from the three boxes that are still
out, South Springs, Penasco and
Plains, the returns are by memory
Of those who witnessed the count on
election night. and the official count
may change these.

closeness of the vote and the prece-
dent already established. Mr.. Beck

ton this fall.
Mr.. Herbert was asked today by
Record representative what action
he would take on the request of Mr.
Beck for a recount of the ballots,
and replied that he would not oppose
it, he also desiring to get at the
truth OF the matter.
ceived at this Office are as follows,
