THREE CLAIM NOMINATION
Lassiter Leads on Vote Reported in 18th
District.

Wednesday morning the result of the
Democratic primary held Tuesday in the
Fourth Congressional District TO nomi-
nate a member of Congress, TO succeed
the late +. K. Lasster, was in doubt.
So close was the vote that the most
knowing politicians were unable to say
whether G. T. Lasster, of Petersburg;
Judge Watkins, of Prince Edward, or
Robert Turnbul. of Brunswick, lead.
1t is known that Mr. Cooke is de-
feate1. .
Incomplete returns show that out OF
5.327 votes Lassiter received l,67S;
Watkins, l,52l; Turnbull, l,434; Cooke,
694.
Lassiter, therefore, leads Watkins by
1877 votes and Turnbull by 2i4 votes, but
Watkins should increase his vote in
Amelia county and Mr.. Turnbull will
add to his strength when full returns
are made from Brunswick, Greenyllle
and Mecklenburg.
1t would seem that Lassiter has
probably won by less than hundred
votes, but an official count will certainly
be demanded.
