Republicans Make Good Showing,
In the primary election last Sat
urday the Republicans of Ohio Coun- /
ty made a splendid showing. There
was practically no contest among the
candidates for the various state Of
fees. Prof. r. p. Green. candidate
for State Superintendent of Public
obstruction, was the only candidate
for State Office who came to the
county and made a speech, during
the entire campaign. On the other
hand, both the leading Democratic
for Governor visited the
county and made stirring addresses,
and Mr.. McDermott sent to the coun-
ty an able speaker to represent him,
which the speaker did with consider
able credit both to himself and Mr..
who sent him. In addi-
tion to that Judge Glenn and Judge
made a most thorough can
vass of the entire county, making
one of the hardest fought campaigns
that has been waged In Ohio county
for long time. Hardly less spirit
ed was the contest between Messrs.
Ringo and Tanner. Each OF these
able gentlemen made strong effort
TO get large vote for himself In
fact every Democrat candidate made ,
q strong. earnest effort to win. There
was a spirited contest for every office
except Senator and Representative,
with the issue of the State Wide
thrown In. and popular
local men in all races. county, dis
Irict and state.
With all this interest among the
Democrats the Republicans polied
he larger vote. In local races the
polled over 500. votes
