THE RESULT.
CFrom Mondays Dailyl

Tho battle Is over.
We are all glad OF II.
Tho strain and suspense OF a cam.
palgn and election is hard on the
voters as well as on candidates.
10 was a strenuous primary cleo
ton. The candidates and their
friends left no stone unturned, no
voter unsolicited to turn the tide IN
their favor.
The eleventh hour boom for VIII
liams, "tho village blacksmith" was
more of a joke than factor in this
necl, Of the woods.
Attorney General Davidson wins
out in Potter county, but his major1
ity over Wynne Is not large enough
to cause much hilarty in the house
of his friends.
our genial Dick Bowman simply
walked all over his opponents. 10
Dick is not enjoying the best Of
health himself his majority certainly
has a most healthy appearance.
II. S. Bishop scooped the platter
for district attorney. Mr.. Bishop
has reason to be grateful to many
loyal friends and supporters all over
me district.
w. NJ, Jeter for county Judge sur
prlsed his friends and nonplussed
his opponents. His majority over
Messrs. Gowan and Holman attests
to the fact that he is a "sprinter"
Of ability.
Frank Wolflln took practically tho
whole Dutch bakery" as candidats
for reelection for county clerk.
Frank seems to have gained rather
than lost in popularity since his last
contest.
The race for sheriff was the main
bone Of contention in the primaries.
It was the center Of interest. Mr..
Franklin made an excellent run, but
he was outclassed. Mr.. Hughes. as a
vote getter, is unexcelled in Potter
county. He has been re-nominated
for the sixth time, II we mistake not.
Unfortunately for him his name on
the ballot was so placed that about
a hundred votes intended for him
were thrown out Had they been
counted his majority would have
been at least $50.
T. L. Underwood carries off tho
palm for county attorney by hand.
some majority Mr.. Underwood has
good reason to be proud of his ex.
celont showing,
n. II. Tudor the watchdog OF the
Potter county treasury" simply ran
and took on more speed at every
turn on the track. His re-nomina-
ton by large plurality is tribute
in recognition for his faithful SER
vices in the past.
Tom Barnes for assessor had =
walll-away. Although Tom has
game limb he gets there just the
same.
Keeton and Carter for constable
had a nip-and-tug race. The returns
give Carter but one majority, and
there is a possibility for change on
a recount or footing up of the tally
sheets.
K. K. Keer is nominated for jus.
tice Of the peace by a majority OF
sixty-riyo over W. W. Kidd, and A. l..
Britain wins out for hide and AMI
NAL inspector.
The question Of submitting state
wide prohibition to the voters seems
to have carried in the county and
probably in the whole Panhandle.
The primaries being over, we have
other fish to fry We have problems
to solve which are far more import
ant to Amarillo and tho Panhandle
than primaries and elections.
Tho packing house question is to
be successfully settled. The water
question is up for consideration and
proper solution. The Santa Fe shops
matter must be brought out OF the
status Of uncertainty and the doubt
ing relieved Of worry on this score.
In short-we must get busy, We
have plenty to do and it is most
