to have defeated ]. D. Norton by a good
majority. MacFarland has defeated
Schoch, Swayze is far ahead of Zim-
norman, Bower has a big lead over
Thomas ana Simmer seems reasonably
sure of denomination. The fight for the
nomination for county commissioner in
the city district is very close between
O'Neil and Nipps, and probably will re-
quire an official canvass to determine
the result. Nipps, however, is leading,
and his friends are claiming his nomi-
nation.
c. G. Slakely undoubtedly has been
nominated for representative from the
city district, and Fred Voiland is the
nominee for representative from the
North Side. The race for state senator.
however, still is in doubt the fight be-
ing between N. B. Burge and James A.
Iroutman. The latter is ahead, but his
lead is so narrow that it may be cut 10

fight might result in the nomination cf

Robert D. Carver is nominated for

OlSaSter 1OF "Old Timers"
1t seemed to a clear case of "clean
out the old timers" for the voters

who applied for third or fourth terms.
Zimmerman, candidate for a fourth
term; Norton, candidate for a third
term; schoch, asking for r. a fourth
term, and Thomas, who was asking for
a fourth term, all went down before an
avalanche of ballots. Against some of
these officers very little was urged ex-
cept the multiplicity of terms and
that seemed to be enough. 1t is a fact
that not man who was asking for
more than second term, who had any
opposition, succeeded in being renomf-
mated. Eby, running for a fourth
term, had no opposition. Neither did

district court.
A three cornered fight for the nomi-
nation for marshal of the county
court probably resulted in the nomina-

son, made a close race according to
late returns.
suit was an overwhelming victory for
Mayor J. B. Billiard in this county. The
vote stood more than to 1 for the
mayor against both opponents, and
opponent, Hodges. Judge Thompson
of Garden City easily carried the
county in the senatorial contest. Far
reilly was second and Allen. the To-
peka man, was third. Bond hardly
was in the running.
In the local contests between
Schlichter and Bell for the nomination
for sheriff, and between Atchison and
Humphreys for county attorney, the
fight was all one-sided. Schlichter
and Atchison easily carried the coun-
ty. distancing their opponents from
the time the ballots began to be
counted.
It should be noted that county Of

and who suffered defeat in yesterdays
primaries, are showing their game

on duty all night and day, smilingly

The complete returns are expected
to be in and tabulated late this af-
ternoon. but except in a few instances.
