VACANCIES ARE FILLED
DEMOCRATS MAMIE p. AVERY FOR
JOINT STATE SENATOR.
George Myer, of Dallas, Is Chosen for
Joint Representative for Polk
and Lincoln Counties.

and Lincoln Counties.
County Clerk Smith finished the
work of tabulating and recording the
primary election returns yesterday af-
ternoon The task proved to be a
tedious one, especially that of making
up the Democratic returns Many
places were left vacant on the DEM
ocratic ticket in Polk County, and
these blanks were filled by writing in
the names of men considered to be
suitable candidates for the various Of
fees. AS there had been little con-
certed action along this line, scarcely
any two Democrats voted for the same
men. Every one of these scattering
votes had to be recorded in making
up the official count, and the amount
of work required to account for all of
these names can easily be imagined.
The final footing of the Democrat
ic vote for County Treasurer resulted
in the nomination of Tracy Stats in
stead of j. T. Ford, Mr.. Stats re-
|
county Neither Mr. Staats nor Mr.
Ford were candidates for this office,
and it is not known whether Mr.
Staats will accept the unexpected hon
or thrust upon him.
Benton County Man for Senator.
Punderson Avery, a pioneer resi-
dent of Benton County, was nominat-
ed as the Democratic candidate for
Joint Senator from Polk and Benton
Counties so far as Polk County is con-
cerned, but it is not yet known what
action was taken by the Democrats of
Benton County. 1t is thought probab-
lie, however, that Mr.. Avery will be the
choice of the Democrats of his own
county. The same conditions apply as
to George w. Myers who was nominat-
ed in Polk County for Joint Repre-
sentative from Polk and Lincoln.
