WALL FOR COUNTY SHERIFF.

Though unofficial reports of the
Democratic vote at Tuesdays pri-
maries had been received from only
IL OF the 21 precincts in the county,
Ernest Lister of Tacoma, one of the
seven candidates for governor, was so
far in the lead that it was thought
doubtful his plurality would be cut
down by the reports from the other
precincts.
Lister made similarly strong race
in practically every county in the
state, and with even the incomplete
returns that had been received yester-
day, his nomination was conceded by
E. c. Million, while the second choice
nominee is still much in doubt and
probably will not be settled for several
days.
These IL ThurstOn county precincts,
embracing the city and few from the
outside, gave Lister 73 first choice
votes and % second. William H. Dun
ply of Walla Walla, was tied with
Hugh c. Todd of Seattle, for second
place. SO far as first choice votes are
concerned, both having received Is. but
the Eastern Washington candidates
polled IS second choice votes to Todds
16.
E. C. Million of Seattle came next
with 10 first choice and II second
choice votes In these precincts fol-
lowed by Judge w. w. Black of
Everett, with 10 first choice and 13
second. and Judge M. M. Goldman of
Seattle, with seven first and seven
second choice votes, while L. F.
Chester stood last with seven first
choice and four second.
Harry H. Collier of Tacoma, carried
these precincts for the nomination for
lieutenant governor, receiving so votes,
compared to 43 for Lester P. Edge
and % for A. C. Edwards.
The reports from these precincts,
too, gave B. F. Wall of Bucoda. the
nomination for sheriff, the only place
on the Democratic county ticket where
there was contest, over A. S. Jensen
of Olympia, Wall receiving 67 to the
latter's AZ votes.

Governor Hay was renominated by
the Republicans of the state, but the
nomination for lieutenant governor is
in a muddle. Senator H. o. Fishback
won the nomination for insurance
commissioner with a large plurality
over ]. H. Schively, incumbent. Most
re-nominated, though the returns were
so incomplete as to leave some doubt
full.
The principal contest in the county
on the Republican ticket was for state
senator, Dr. Carlyon polling 917 votes
in the 21 precincts as against SIS for
Archie Doming. The Republican
