Though two OF the precincts in the
county have not turned in fail reports
OF the polling yesterday oil OF the in-
dications are that there has been
one OF the biggest democratic land
slides In the history OF the county,
the lowest majorities of this year be-
ing very near the highest democratic
majority OF the last election.
Early in the day the republicans
admitted that they we're defeated
and In many instances did not do
very much work during the later part
OF the day. Sheriff Harvard led the
democratic ticket and defeated S. r.
Mason by a majority Of 1lS6. This
"a more than double the majority OF
AR. Harvard two years ago, which
was $50. The next highest on the
ticket was Register OF Deeds u. G..
Markham, who won over his repub-
|lican opponent. Mr. Joseph Ship.
with a majority OF 939. Mr.. Mark
ham poIled 2219 votes and Mr.. Shipr
poiled 1880 votes In all OF the pre-
Iclncfs.
General J. :. Carr won over DR..
T.. u. Bowling with handsome ma
iorIty, and made good his predictions
that he would defeat the doctor BY
600 votes. Twenty-three Of the twen-
lty-fve precincts in the county gi1e
General Carr a majority OF 6Sl. The
other two precincts will not change
the vote very much and the demo
cratic candidate will go to the leg
llslsture with a majority ranging
around 6s0, and II may run up to
l70e.
