The Marion daily mirror. (Marion, Ohio) 1892-1912, 1911-09-07


are still busy on the returns from
Tuesdays voting at the Democratic
and Republican primaries. Up to a
late hour this afternoon the official
total vote had not been tabulated
but the board hopes to get this done
by evening.
It develops that in many townships
and in several of the villages there
are tie votes for various offices The
law is not specific as to the manner
in which a tie on a primary shall be
decided, although 1t provides that
candidates who are tic, at a regular
election, shall be chosen by lot.
Down In Waldo. for instance. there
were three Democratic candidates for
the nomination for mayor. Each re-
ceived one vote. This same condi-
ton is found in a dozen different
townships for minor offices.
This morning the board of elections
recanvassed the vote of G.. f. Larie
and Peter G. Sells Republican candi-
dates for city clerk The vote was
gone over carefully and it was found
that Larie had 377 votes and Sells
314.
Harry Bell. whose name was writ
ten i'm for third place on the Demo-
cratic ticket for school board wins
| that place with six votes. while Mrs.
Jeanette hammers Hutchinson and
Charles Il. Lukens both polled five
votes each. They were practically all
the close contests in the city and
they were decided by the board Of
elections this morning.
Just as an evidence of what may
be done under the primary system,
T. is matter of record that a differ
ent people were voted for for a half
dozen offices in the village of Green
Camp. This was brought about by
people writing in the names of their
favorites and the majority of them
received but one vote.
In Marion township but seven votes
were cast for Democratic members
of the school board. 1t is also prac
tically certain that l.. II. DeLauder
has been nominated on the Demo-
cratic ticket for councllman-at-large.
Mr.. DeLauder doesn't have "A great
Eumber of votes. but 1t is believed
that he has enough to insure his
nomination.
The total vote cast by the Repubi-
cans in the city was 915 while the
Democrats managed to record several
hundred more, but the figures are not
available at this time The total vote
on each candidate will probably be
ready by evening and be the official
vote OF the board of elections.
Wednesdays Mirror, through an err
ror, named ]. j. Crawley and r. r.,
Andrews as the successful candidates
for justice of the peace. when 1t
should have stated that George Me-
Kinley and j. ]. Crawley were the
candidates, the mistake being made
in the confusion of making up an
election report.
