In many of the primaries there were
vigorous contests waged, usually be.
tween the friends and the opponents of
the federal bunch Indications last
uight pointed to considerable strength
for the federal bunch in the city while
the opposition appears to have carried
the county outside of the city. Should
the county delegates at their caucus to
be held at Murray next Monday decide
to vote as unit against the federal
bunch candidates, things may break
badly for the slate.

In the county outside Of the city the
delegates appear to be opposed to Sber-

Record Vote Polled.
In the downtown districts record

sixteen gave No. 10 Commercial street
as their address and he found that only
one Of these lived there. Six gave 621a

he will probably be unable to find
enough irregularities to Justify the un'
seating of the delegation.
