There was light vote cast at the
primary election Tuesday, and but
few democrats attended the primary,
as in this county there was practical
ly no contests, there being but two
offices where there were contestants,
these being recorder and county at
torny.
Returns are hard to obtain as all of
the townships in Decatur county had
not yet been received up to the time
The Reporter went to press Wednes-
day afternoon, and in some cases, the
election board failed to fill out the
returns on the envelops, SO they are
not all official.
1t is simply impossible to give any
definite returns from the state, but
it is evident that Porter has been
nominated for governor, and it looks
as if Carroll had defeated Garst.
Both ToWner and Darrah are
claiming the nomination for congress,
but from the meagre returns it looks
as 1t TOWner was the winner.
We have been unable to learn any,
thing in regard to the democratic
contest for member of congress in
this district.
1t is conceded at Des Moines that
Judge Prouty has finally defeated
Hull in the Seventh, and that Smith
has defeated Byers in the Ninth.
