NEWS or THE PRIMARY


Tuesday was a fine day, conse-
quently the voters turned out in
goodly squads and the vote was
much heavier than the majority Of
people predicted it would be, Very
naturally, several of the candidates
were beaten, but there seem to be
no sore spots, at any rate there is
no cursing and gnashing of teeth.
There was practically no mud
Singing" done, and not much excite
meRt accompanied the voting. The
only ripple Of excitement being
caused by the democratic candidates
for county superintendent.
O. T. Wood, Clyde Commons, Miss
Heaton, Mr.. Fulmer and Teddy
Roosevelt are the candidates who
did the great sprinting stunts, and
left their opponents far in the rear.
The. boards at precincts | and 8
counted ballots far into the night,
and on account of the taerrihc storm
which swept the country aDout mid
night, the returns from country pre-
cincts were very slow about coming
in, and 1t is only today that any def
mite figures can be given. The wires
we're kept busy far into the wee small
hours of Wednesday morning, after
election, and many automobiles made
race track of the road from the
business center of town, out to the
west -paEt-.ef the city, where Liberal
precinct No 3 was. Precinct No.
had 29S votes and precinct No. 3,
had 234 votes. Notice the majority

out in search of facts about wheat
yields Tuesday, and altho he found
several men who had rattling good
ones the following yield from the
fields of c. d, Gasaway is the best
we have heard of so far: Twenty
acres yielded thirty-five bushels to
the acre; forty acres yielded twenty
six bushels to the acre; and seventy
five acres yielded twenty-three and
one-half bushels to the acre.
or course, there may be better av-
erages than this In the community,
but we have not heard of it. If you
have a yield that beats it, send in
the figures, We wish to compile a
list of the best yields to the acre.

New York.-vincent Astor's latest
trouble Is a deluge Of letters from
persons anxious to advise him as to
the best manner Of spending his 800,
100000 Inheritance. Many of the let
ters are from women, telling OF theiI
great love and conveying offers Of mar
riage.
Old women and young women, bra
gen and demure. thin and fat ones,
pretty and ugly. have taken their pens
in hand, not without hope Of gain,
Some have pretended to bespeak Mr..
Astor's interest in behalf Of causes
other than purely personal ones, but
most Of them have been frankly smit
ten in the desire to call the young
mans attention to certain persons that
he otherwise might overlook.
Some Of the writer's have waited in
front Of the Astor estate offlces In
Twenty-sixth street for glimpse OF
the boy. Most have mistaken the
handsome mick" Biddle for the OBJ
ject Of their curiosity. much to Bid
dies embarrassment. He is an exc
cutor Of the Astor estate, is about thir
ty-four and looks younger.
And 1t isn't only through the me-
dunn Of letters that women have
pressed their suits. The telephone has
been kept pretty busy, both at the Of.
fices and at the Fifth avenue house,
with girlish voices whose owners were
anxious to have opportunities to meet
the heir Of millions. The reasons as
signed were as many as the letters
contained. :
Some Of the writer's want the young
man to do something worthy of his
name" There have been suggestions
that he finance the suffragette cause,
Others want him to use his fortune to
buy up breweries and distilleries and
put them out Of business for the sake
OF promoting the cause of prohibition
Comparatively few of the letters writ
ten by women are from inventors. This
class Of communications almost always
bore mans signature.
| Things suggested for a worthy usd
OF the money ranged from patent
bung-starters to methods of bridging
Behring strait. Included in the ap,
peals are those of professional beg,
gars. Churches, schools and Libraries
divide honors as to the numbers OF
their letters with propositions from
business houses that offer him inter,
ests for ever so small a sum.
Most of these letters. of course, need
no answer. Those from women on
subjects OF the heart are entirely ig,
nored. Many of the latter come &C,
companied by photographs. Two OF
the fair correspondents sent as thein
own postcard, pictures of Lillian Rus
