In Nos. 2, and townships, Messrs.

the committee did not recommend
them for appointment.
In No. Z township Mr. A. L. Domin-
ick and Mr.. W. R. Reid were the call
didates. Mr.. Reid received the ma
jority of the votes but as neither one
had complied with the law by fill

made no recommendation.

candidates, Mr.. E. A. Hentz and Mr..
W. L. KibSer who filed the first expense
account and Mr.. j. J. Kinard and Mr..
! ". F. Suber, who filed no expense ac-
count. In the first primary none of
these received majority vote and it
was stated that Messrs. Hentz and
! Kinard would make the second race as
they received the largest vote, but the
executive committe, under the law,
does not count the vote for any one of
them, and, therefore no provision will
be made for the election for magis-
trate in No. II township and the dele
CATION will be open to appoint any one.
