THE PRIMARY ELECTION.

The Democratic primary election was
held in Jefferson county last Saturday,
and resulted in the nomination OF all the
candidates espoused by the well-organ-
lied workers who have been successful
in running party politics for some years
past. The precinct politicians were busy,
and captured all the offices, the independ-
ents being helpless before their very
practical methods of electioneering. q.
K. Hump carried the county for the State
Senate over H. B. Gilkeson by MAORI
ty of 5l3. c. M. Wetzel defeated Milton
Burr or the Legislature by III. J. W.

plurality, and Geo. d. Moore had a walk
over for prosecuting attorney. Daniel
