The primary election passed off
very quietly in different parts of the
county. AS usual the vote was heayi-
est, registration considered, in the
thickly settled portions, the results
in some instances probably being in
fiuenced by the fact that the farmers
do not evidence the interest in the
primary election results as do the
voters in the towns, where more
general discussion and resultant
keener interest prevail.
Fallon's vote approached eighty
per cent of the registration, great
er proportion of Democrats voting
than Republicans, owing to the
greater number of contests for nom-
nations at the hands of this party.
The democratic contests for coun-
ty offices concerned the Offices of
sheriff and assessor, clerk and treas
urer, short term commissioner and
member of the county board of edu-
cation. For sheriff and assessor, T.
II. Depp, W. d. Kemp and Jim Smith
were opposing candidates for the
nomination. Depp received 182
votes, Kemp 152 and Smith 102.
For the clerk and treasurer nomina-
tion c. l.. Noble received 266 votes
to lac votes for j. w. Richards,
while 8 voters marked their ballots
for DR.. T. F. Richardson. deceased,
whose death last Friday without a
doubt had strong influence upon
the vote. Two tight races were
those for the democratic nomina-
tions for short term county commits
sionr and for place upon the eoun-
ty high school board. With Terrell
to here from, Paris Markwell re-
ceived 205 votes to 203 votes for
Thos. Williamson and it is we'll with
in the possibility of things that the
result may be altered upon the re-
ceipt today of the results at Terrell.
With Terrell to hear from, A. ID.
Drumm has lead of six votes over
G. w Coverston for the democratic
nomination for member of the eoun-
ty high school board, the first named
receiving 206 votes to the latter's s
even 200.
The only county contest in the
republican ranks had to do with the
nomination for short term county
commissioner. Francis Harrigan op-
posed Frank Peterson for the right
to run in November and won by a
vote of 1876 to 50.
