Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1912-05-30

Now that the public utilities fran
chises election is a matter OF history,
and there Is a temporary lull in the
national political game following the
New Jersey preferential primary, the
eyes Of the state at large are turned
toward the statewide primary of all
political parties, to be held next Mon-
day, June 8.
A more quiet campaign before pri-
! mary election in Marshall county has
not been known for years. This has
been due to the keen interest in ma
! tional politics, the attention of the city
being engrossed in the franchises cleo
ton, and the fact that there are com
paratively few contests for county OF
fees. The campaign has also been an
unusually clean one.
shrisvaIty Leads Interest.
The contest for the office of sheriff
leads the interest in the election III
the county. and in the republican col
umn there are three candidates.. h
| Meekins, C. B. Mason and E. I. Wor-
den-appearing in this order on the Of
| fetal ballot.
That q triangular contest would be
avoided in the primary this year was
believed possible early in the cam
paign, when an agreement between
prospective candidates. for the Office
| was held, resulting in four signing an
agreement to withdraw from the field
in favor of the one who should be
chosen by an arbitration committee
as the candidate. Mr.. Worden was Sc
lected as the one to appear on the tick
ct against c. B. Mason, present deputy
to Sheriff Nicholson. j. X. Meekins, or
Liscomb, accepted the result as he had
agreed to do, signed Worden's nomina-
| ton papers, but later came out as
candidate.
