In the primary election held in the
county Tuesday, the Democrats cast
more than two votes to one cast by
the Republicans. Less than so per
cent of the vote Of the county was
polled. Owing to the judges Of two
of the precincts (Rollinsville and
TollandD failing to make a memoran-
dunn Of the vote, there are no unof-
ficial returns from these precincts.
The results in these two precincts
will not be known until the official
count Is made. The official canvass
Of the vote will be made tomorrow.
morning.
The official count will not effect
the Republican vote to the extent of
making any changes in those nomin-
ated on the face Of the returns.
Those nominated on the Republican
county ticket have safe majorities.
There were only two contets on the
Republican county ticket. These
were for assessor and representative.
John L. Robins received the highest
vote for assessor and VIM. Warren
the highest vote for representative.
On the Democratic side the vote
between Albert Gundy and F. S. Boil
singer for the nomination of sheriff
is close to the point of being prac-
tically a tie. 1t will take the official
count to determine which of these
two is nominated. The complete re-
turns from precincts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
and 8 give Bolsinger a lead of two
In precinct Z, Gundy is reported as
having a majority of 8 and in pre-
cinct 9 Bolsinger is said to have a
majority of two or three.
The result of the senatorial con-
test in the Goth district cannot be
learned. The count is not complete
