The District Attorneys Race

Ever since the night of the
9th of July the result of the
race for District Attorney for the
72nd Judicial District seemed to
be in doubt. for week or more
the friends of each candidate
claimed the nomination by small
majority, and I'D to last Saturday
it was not conceded who was the
winoer in the contest.
1t is now generally understood
that G. Z. Lockhart defeated his
opponent. j. E. Vickers. who is
the present incumbent, by a
small margin of 3 votes. Con-
sidering the fact that more than
2. 400 votes were cast in the elec-
ton for this office it is remark
ably close race and the race that
either of these young men made
is a credit to them.
