MAN COUNTY VOTE

The primary election held thru
out North Dakota, Wednesday was a
light one. Advices received late last
night at Fargo and reported in the
Daily News from various points thru
out the state indicate that the regular
candidates are nominated.
The News says that it is practically
assured that the regulars have cap
tured all the nominations, save a
few, and it is a matter Of doubt ow-
ing to the light democratic vote
whether the democrats can get places
on the state ticket. It is probable
tha Senator McCumber is one of the
nominees and L. B. Hanna another
for congress. Frank Henry, secre-
tary Of state and Gunder Olson state
treasurer, Andrew Miller attorney
general are probable winners. The
vote may not reach 40 per cent of the
usual state vote. These predictions
are on incomplete reports mostly
from the larger cities.
Reports from the republican state
committee of Fargo state that there
is little doubt of McCumber's nomina-
tion for senate. The regulars are al
SO claiming the nomination of Han
ma. for congress and possibly Enge-
rud for the senate.
The insurgents are claiming the
nomination of Gronna for the senate,
Helgesen for congress and Taylor as
insurance commissioner. All state
officers are claimed by the regulars
including C. A. johnson for governor.
Aaker made surprising run, cutting
into Buchanan's vote in many dis
tricts around the state.
For the judiciary the leading nomi-
nees are believe to be Fisk and Burke
with an uncertain result as to the
third nominee for supreme judge.
In the County
It is too soon to state results of the
election in the Stutsman county prim-
ary yesterday. In Jamestown the
vote was light compared with other
years, there being decrease of fully
rs per cent. The total jamestown
republican vote was GIG in the four
wards. the democratic vote a., and
448 ladies voted on the office of
school superintendent.
The vote for the candidates for su-
preme court shows that Ellsworth,
Burke and Fisk are the three cad
ing candidates, Ellsworth running a.
head of his associates.
The same is true of Buchanan who
ran ahead of his ticket for governor.
The indications are that Miss Mary
McGinnis is elected county superin-
tendent, the ladies of jamestown
turned out strong and gave her a
heavy vote.
The race between c. S. Buck and
Fred Kneeland for states attorney
is close one, also the race between
Judge Conklin and J. U. Hemmi for
county Judge. With many of the
county precincts to hear from the re-
suit will be in doubt until all returns
are in for the above candidates.
In the race for clerk Of court Geo.
Richmond is way in the lead. In %
precincts he received total of 581
votes, Ogilvie 275 and jenkins 175.
1t is probable that Richmond will
have large majority as a number of
strong precincts favorable to his can
didacy have not been heard from in
the above estimates.
The nominations of Andrew Blew
ett county auditor, and Nels Rome
sheriff, Walter, Ford treasurer, were
without opposition. George McKen-
zie is. also making an excellent run
for the nomination Of register Of
Deeds; s53. 5@5.
It appears that Senator McCumber
Is making a better run thruout the
county than his. opponents were will
ing to concede. In the city the vote
shows that Marshall has run behind
his vote Of two years ago and that
McCumber has made surprising gains
over the vote his opponents claimed
he would receive. ss5s
Two years ago Marshall carried the
county BY 50 votes receiving total
