The C1arcmont Vote.
Had the result of the congressional
primary election in this district been
SO close as to have been affected one
way or the other by the thirty three
votes of Claremont Precinct. In Surry
county, which were thrown out by the
election officers of the county because
Republicans were allowed to vote, it
is probable the district committee, who
canvassed the returns of the various
counties last night, would have heard
some very vigorous argument, not to
say protest. No fraud was suggested
in the Claremont Precinct. tho only
cause assigned for its rejection being
the participation of Republicans in a.
Democratic primary. 1t is generally
understood that Republicans were per-
mitted to vote here. as well as else
where in the district and other mat
ters might have been brought up on
very close vote. Happily, the mat
ter was settled without objection on
the part of any Of the candidates. and
the party nominee was named by the
district committee, who sustain the
action OF the Surry officials in reject
ing the vote OF Claremont Precinct.
