THREE CORNERED FIGHT
GIVES HA|NES 4S PER
CENT OF VOTE

The official count of the primary
vote of Canyon County has been
made by the board of county COM
missioners. The aggregate vote on
governor was: Republican 2076; De-
mocratic o08; and Progressive $40.
This is undoubtedly about the stand
ing of the three parties in the county.
The Republicans cast over 80 per
cent more votes than the Democrats
and Progressives together. This
clearly indicates that the Republicans
outnumber the other two by large
majority. The same ratio will pre-
vail at the general election.
The vote cast at the primary cleo
ton was not over Is per cent of the
vote of the county. The
size of the vote was a
great disappointment to all especial
ly the friends of the direct primary
system. 1t shows an apathy on the
part of the average voter that is real
ly amazing. In towns party workers
in carriages and automobiles were at
work all day but in spite of this a
small vote was polled.
Brady and Haines Leaders.
The vote shows that Governor
Haines received over 40 per cent of
all Republican votes cast for COVER
nor. This was a splendid endorse
ment and one of which the governor
ceived over As per cent of the Re-
publican vote for United States sena-
tor. The greatest surprise was the
vote on lieutenant-governor. After
the Herwig instructions" became
known the friends of Lieutenant
Governor Taylor dispaired. Can

we of the county consider. Canyon

However, Taylor received 6l3 votes
and Sweeley OLD. Edgington re-
ceived 4l9 and Smith 100 votes. This
vote on lieutenant governor was a
thorough and complete reputation
of Herwig and matter of great pride
to the people of the county.
County Candidates.
The fight in the county was be-
tween Hayes and Kirkpatrick and

once served as county commissioner
and left behind him a splendid re-

F. Stone 722. Mr.. Alfred F. Stone
can we'll afford to feel proud of his
vote as he is young man and was
pitted against one of the ablest law
yers in the state and a Republican

The races between Luther and
Monk as ProgresSives and Boone and
Knowlton as Democrats for clerk OF
the district court were both close.
Luther polled 2o8 votes and Monk
294. Boone received 800 votes and
Knowlton 400.
