fifty votes C. A. Mcmillan defeated |
Judge Denis Dundon for nomination of
County Judge of Bourbon in the Dem
ocratic primary held Saturday and |
James NJ O'Brien went down in de- |
feat the second time for Mayor of the
city of Paris, the majority of his oppo-
nent, Mayor Hinton, being one hun |
dred and twenty-one.
The contest in both the city and |
county was hard fought and was a |
signal victory for the Mcmillan and |
Hinton forces. A full vote was pOlled |
throughout the county, attesting the |
extreme interest shown in the conest, !
both for the city and county offices.
The Hinton administration secured
a majority in the Council, when Whit
tington Mann, George d. Speakes and
W. T. Brooks were elected from the
first ward, w. o. Hinton from the
second ward and Jack Woods from the
third ward. Dr. VIM. Kenney and d.
G.. Parrish, of the opposition ticket,
were the only two elected.
In spite of the interest manifested
in the election, no trouble was expert
enced in any of the precincts of the
city or county and the election passed
OH quietly IN tnlS respect.
Interest was centered in the race
| for the Office of County Judge and that
| of Mayor, campaign for which has
been waged by the News and Mr.. Nc
MILAN and Hinton adherants. During
the entire day the forces of both fac
tions were extremely active in getting
out their full quota of voters. The
election was the first held under the
new primary law, and up until the
noon hour apparent apathy prevailed
in many precincts, but there was
change in the atmosphere, more inter
est being taken in the situation and
when the polls closed at four o'clock
only a few of the registered had failed
to visit the polls.
From the receipt of the first re-
| turns it was apparent that Judge Dun
! don would suffer defeat, as many pre-
! cincts which had rolled up handsome
majorities in his former races, either
gave him only small majority or
went to his opponent. Millersburg,
| which heretofore has given him a large
majority, and upon which the supper
| tiers of the defeated candidate relied
| for at least $50 over Mcmillan, only
rounded out a majority of 60 while
! Centerville, another stronghold went
| for Mcmillan by ma iority OF 20 votes.
Six precincts in the city of Paris
rolled up majority Of 1913 for Nc
| MILAN. He carried five of the six, the
| fourth precinct going for Dundon by
! majority of ouly two.
The election of Mayor Hinton as the
! Democratic nominee is the fifth time
during his career that he has been
nominated for the Office Of Mayor by
| the Democrats of Paris, and without
any Republican opposition in the field
| he will occupy the chair of the Chief
| Executive Of the city for term of four
years, beginning January l.
The endorsement of Mayor Hinton
and his administration is a single hon.
or conferred by the voters and a COM
pliment TO the manner in which the
affairs of the city have been conducted
during his term of office.
Aside for the races for County
Judge, Mayor and in the contest for a
seat in the Council, the race for Chief
of Police came next for it's share Of
interest. The contestants were J. G.
Elgin, Sr., the present incumbent, Geo.
NJ. Hill, former Chief of Police, Ben
Bishop, former member of the Police
department, and Fred Link, a member
of the force. The contest resulted in
a victory for Link by a majority of
eighty-five over his nearest opponent
Mr.. Hill.

Court, was elected by a majority OF
435, the largest received by any can.
