There really little to add to the
report given last week of the result
of the primaries in Lincoln county
The county commissioners are now
engaged in canyassing the vote, the
figures thus far showing that little
change will be made by the Official
over the unofficial count.
On some Offices, however, the
incomplete preliminary estimate was
at fault While the vote was very
close, it appears that Harry Ander-
son, the present county auditor and
recorder has been nominated by a
small majority over Duvall, his op-
ponent. The earlier, incomplete re-
ports of last week also indicated the
nomination of Zent for county attor-
ney, over Disney, the present in
cumbent; but it is conceded that it
was mistake, Disney having a big
lead in fact. Speakman will have
a majority of several hundred over
Kartzke the present commissioner OF
the first district. 1t will be very
close, almost a tie, between Vincent
and nelson for commissioner of the
second district, and it is almost as
close between Dilatush and Dyer, in
the third district 1t is expected tha
Dilatush and Vincent will finally be
the winners. 1t is probable that
