The Primary Election Passed
 Over Very Quietly Yesterday


 the past and this morning even the sun forgot to come out for time, and it was assuredly the cold, gray dawn of the morning after for those who were defeated.
 Still there was nobody defeated very badly, save Sheriff Livingston, and this was not due so much to politics, as it was the growing feeling in the minds of the voters that eleven years one candidate.
 Nobody took the trouble to wake up the Republicans, and the Republics vote was very light, there being no contests on in the Republican ranks save for the offices of treasurer, road superintendent and county attorney.
 For treasurer, Spittler has the lead over Kent by about thirty votes on the last returns in, and it may take the last outlying precinct to decide this.
 For road superintendent Fuquay has a good lead over Rose and Briggs, and while it is not assured, he looks like a winner.
 For county attorney 'Colman has a lead oyer Wuppermah and it looks safe to say that Attorney Colman has re- neived the nomination.
 There was another contest in the Republican ranks that last night look ed like a very close contest, and that was Townsend vs. Woodman for state senator.
 On the face of the returns this aft ernoon however, MT. Townsend has a safe majority and will be the nominee.
 The Democratic vote was badly split up and while it looks as though O'Neill and Ives had carried the coun- ty for the U. S. senate, still they are badly beaten in other counties, and 1t will be day or two before definite results are obtained from all over the county.
 Yuma county, of course, gave Null ford a big home vote for congress. and it would not be surprising if MT. Winsor was not adjudged the Demo- cratic nominee for congress when the returns are all in from all over the territory.
 Hunt carried Yuma county for the Democratic nomination for governor. and it is very likely that MT. Hunt has won over Weedin all over the terri tory.
 For Democratic state senator, Fred Vessel is running away ahead of Mir Norton and is no doubt the nominee.
 Hon. Frank Baxter is ahead about sixty votes on the last returns over Hon. J. H. Westover for superior court judge, and it looks very much as though MT. Baxter had secured the nomination, although this race was much closer than expected.
 Mel Greenleaf is the Democratic nominee for sheriff, having received more votes in the Yuma precinct than both Sheriff Livingston and Candidate Vim. For Treasurer ". W. Sturges wins over E. H. Tobias, while the contest between Huga Farmer and John M. Hess for county school superintendent was very close indeed, and is not yet fully decided, but the chances appear to be in favor of MT Hess Joe Smarr is the Democratic nomi- nee for county Superintendent of roads over Geo. Harding, his nearest com petitor. With three supervisors to select the Democratic nomination seems to mar row itself down to B. F. Hopkins, Ike Proebstel and either Dad" Jordan or F. B. Elliott as the third man, with all the chances in favor of Dad" Jordan. For Democratic precinct committee l men the Democrats eliminated P. J. 1 Miller and R. l.. King, which was to be expected.
