VOTERS NEGLECT THE PRIMARY.
North and Whittet Get Good Home
Endorsement.

Endorsement.
With the farmers too busy with the
harvest and other voters too indiffer-
ent in political matters the primaries
on Tuesday last We're conducted with
scarcely half the voting strength of the
state recording their preferences. At
several elections Edgerton has cast
over 600 votes, while at the primaries
Tuesday but 303 votes were registered.
Both L. C. Whittet and D. w. North
were given a home endorsement that is
most gratifying. With the democrats
Judge Karel was a prime favorite, re-
csiving IS votes to his opponents z.
The following is the result in this city:
The whole number of votes cast was
303; on the regular republican ticket
McGovern for governor received 135;
Morris, lieutenant governor, 1870; Don
aid, secretary of state, 123; state treas
urer, Johnson 137, Krumrey 10; attor-
ney general. Lehner 78, Owen 40; con-
gresham, Cooper 1873; state senator,

The race for state senatorship is SO
close that it may require an official
count to determine it. On the face of
the returns Whittet loses Rock county
by sc votes and has apparently carried
Walworth by 200 or more. If he is
counted out it will be by the second
choice votes. The vote in this county
was Gettle 976, Whittet 1910, Cunning
ham 1885.
Marshall Richardson is nominated for
the assembly in the first district by a
vote of 637, North SOC, Kennedy 298.
In the Second Assembly district c.
D. Rosa received 652, Smith 355, Strong
400.
On the county ticket with five re-
publican candidates running for sheriff,
Whipple receives 1882; Roach, 1041;
Merrill. Az; Maxwell, 269; Lynch,
100. It was a close vote for county
treasurer, f. F. Livermore winning by
a vote of 1881 to 1910 for Sherman. II.
w. Lee is again nominated for county
| clerk, Jesse Earle for clerk of the
court, F. P. Smiley for register Of
deeds and Stanley Dunwiddie for dis
trict attorney, the last three without
opposition.
In the town of Fulton a light vote
only was polled of which McGovern got
80, Karel 10, Schmidt /; Whittet re-
ceived 35, Gettle Fl, Cunningham l, for
senator; North 20, Kennedy 20, Rich
ardson 10, for assembly; Howard Lee
AZ, Atkinson 9, for county clerk; for
| sheriff Roach received 25, Maxwell 10,
