PARkERSBuRG, Jun 1.-THE. re-
suit Of the primary held by the Grand
ola Party in the Thirteenth senatorial
district is fraught with more signifi-
canoe than might appear on the sur
face 70 the hasty and casual reader.

dorsement of Senator Scott and. the
nomination of Fred o. Blue for the
senate. One of them is that 1t nut

Johnson and DR.. Fredlock and that
hefty little organization of theirs
which has been thorn in the side OF
Uncle steve Elkins for 10. these many
years, and at the same time II crowned
The classic thought-dome Of the Hon
orable Howard Sutherland with the
garish garands of hlghly-perfumed
victory. Sutherland led the fight for
sSott and Blue, and quite incidentally,
II course, for your Uncle Steve. He
had none Of the county politicians re-
nowned for doing things on his side.
They we're all opposed to him. And
ye, he put it over to the tune OF about
five hundred. 1t was a great victory
for Sutherland, and it was a great
victory for EDkins. Likewise, 1t was a
great victory for Scott and for Blue.
The former led the ticket In brilliant
romp home to the wire.
OF course, so far as its winning a
delegate vote for Scott the affair in
Randolph county doesn't count for
much, for that county sends a Demo-
crat TO represent it, and is not likely
to devlate from that habit this year.
But, in view of the long lead the
junior senator has at this time, it no
doubt gave him as much satisfaction
to get such an emphatic endorsement
IN Randolph as If he had copied a
vote for Kelm ct al boosted they
had tho thing sewed up and would
give Scott and Elkins and Blue such
trimming as you read about in the

would they throw the harpoon into
