PRIMARY RETURNS
ARRIVING SLOWLY
Mark Smith and Henry Ashurst Nom
mated for Senators by Democrats.
GreenIeaf For Sheriff and brennan
For Representative.

all parts of Arizona and Indications
are that the total vote is far below
expectations. The democrats by far
cast the larger vote, but many voters
in both the old parties did not par
ticipate in the primary. 1t is claimed
that thousands of republicans voted
at the democratic primary owing to
the fact that there were but few con-
tests for republican offices.
1t is practically certain that Mark
Smith and Henry Ashurst are the
democratic nominees for U. S. sena-
tor. Ives of Tucson, according to
latest :erorts, has not given up hore
entirely but the returns appear to in
Gicate his defeat.
Hayden. for congress, wins by a
large plurality. The vote yesterday
was as follows: Hayden 1892, Win
sor 1889. COBB 1884
The vote FOR corporation commits
sioner between A. w. Cole and E. L.
Short is close, but it appears that
ShCrt will WIN bv d narrow margin.

]. H. Westover, for superior judge,
appears to have been beaten by a
narrow margin. He ran we'll il
northern Yuma county considering
that he was practically unknown be-
fore his recent campaign tour to
this end of the county. At Quartz
site Westover received 10 votes
against Baxter's 1. At Wenden he
carried that precinct by 13, and Som
erton by G.
Livingston, for sheriff. made an ex
ceedingly poor showing in the north
end Greenleaf carried practically
every precinct except Quartzsite.
Livingston made no effort to get the
vote, under the belief that his largo
acquaintance assured him of beating
out his opponents. Greenleaf and
Winn, however, visited this part OF
the county, and it was all over with
Livingston.
