WINS BY NARROW MARGIN
Heney Secures Democratic Nomina-

Heney Secures Democratic Nomina-
tion for District Attorney.
San Francisco, Aug. 21.-Francis J.
Honey was nominated for district at
torney on the Democratic ticket at the
recent primary by the narrow margin
of 1874 votes. The Democrats put no
candidate in the field for this office, so
that the voters had to write in the
names of candidates.
Charles Fickert, the regular Repub-
lican candidate, secured 1890 Demo
cratic votes, against 1884 for Heney.
On the Republican ticket Fickert's
name was printed on the ballot, while
Heney's friends had to write in his
name. On this ticket the vote was
1865, Heney 1854.
The same two names figured also on
the Union Labor ticket, the vote be-
ing Fickert 1856, Heney 6S4.
The Heney total vote is 1896, Flick
ert 17.0O4. Heney thus becomes the
regular Democratic candidate for dis
trict attorney, although he announced
his allegiance to the Republican party
some time ago.
