| All is not harmony in the demo
cratic camp in Clark county as a re-
+ suit Of the primary on Tuesday. A
I certain set OF politicians at
the county seat had planned coup
ION their country brethren in an en-
ideaycr to name the ticket, or certain
portions of it. They failed to take in
ito consideration certain other gentle
men wearing the democratic brand
7 and as a result the ticket nominated
/ is not up to expectations-of certain
/ politicians, at least. The "predica-
ment' is an amusing one to the re-
puhlicans who had watched the man
euyers. Especially SO because of the
facts that they figured a light vote
would be polled and as a consequence
their men could be ..put across with
little difficulty. The next move is
awaited with interest.
The primary held in Clark county
Tuesday for the purpose of nominal
ing state and county officers was not
largely attended by those entitled to
exercise the right of suffrage and as a
result very light vote was polled.
Major, the fayorite democratic can
didate for governor, received Coz votes
and Cowherd. his nearest opponent,
got 149; Houchin was next with so,
Ball. II, and Bolte, 10. Mckinley, re-
publican candidate for the same of.
! fee, received 453, Murphy 90, and
Quick 21. The vote on county of
fcers resulted in the following nom
nations where contests were made:
Democratic Schrader for Judge of the
western district: Rutherford for
prosecuting attorney: Hayden for
sheriff. Republican, Mckenzie for
treasurer Buck for assessor. Al scat
tering vote was given for many OF the
Offices in which no filings had been
made, but outside of the vacancy In
| this respect on the democratic ticket
for the Office of prosecuting attorney,
the vote had not been compiled by
the county clerk at the time this com
mnnjcation Is written. So far as we
know Peck Young is entitled TO the
nomination of congressman from the
First congressional district on the re-
publican ticket. He received five
votes in two Kahoka precincts to E.
p Spangler's l. The latter saws
Peck controlled the "levee. vote
which is responsible fer his defeat.
