IS PIERCE
COUNTY CANDIDATE

He carried the county by a
large plurality, amounting to al
most a majority over all. He
would have won out had there
been a second choice or having
more than 40 per cent of the to-
tai vote.
The foregoing figures show the
official vote of the city and about
half of the county. In the city
the vote with two precincts TO
hear from was: Ashton, 1911;
Davis, TIC; Coiner, 535; jamie
son, 200; Latcham, 80; Baker,
46; Van Eaton, SO.
The returns from the outside
not yet in will not materially
change the figures but may in
crease the Ashton vote to give him
a cellar majority over all.
