Win ashton IL. Peace 1Of city con-
troller.
The official count of the primary
returns in Dauphin county will be
started tomorrow at noon in the office
! of the county commissioners, with
whom the ballots and return sheets
have been filed according to law.
There Will be no material change in
the several tickets as announced yes
| terday except that through some mis-
understanding il was reported that
Ashton D. Peace would be the only
candidate for city controller. This is
not correct. Dewitt A. Fry, former
city councilman. was second man and
MS name and that of Mr.. Peace will
appear on the ticket together.
There was some doubt as to the
nominations on the Republican side
Tor poor director, but there seems TO
be no question that Fernando Louder
milch, of Halifax, and F. b. Snavely,
OF Hershey, are the winners.
| SO many precincts were still out
standing to-day and so many mac
curacies have crept into the unofficial
returns as reported from the country
districts that it is impossible to-day
TO give the returns in anything like
correct form. The Telegraph will pub
llsh the city and county totals as soon
as the official count is completed.
Studying the Figures
To-day the candidates and their
friends are comparing notes and MAX
ing a more or less intimate study of
the figures. OF course, since Mayor
Meals is out of the woods the whole
discussion with respect to the city gov
ernment drops back to the selection
of four city commissioners. 1t is
likely to be a lively scrap during the
remaining period between the primar-
les and the general election in Novem-
Der. Eight of the sixteen candidates
for the City Council have been elimi-
mated and four more must be eliminat-
ed in the November balloting. Who will
be the four successful aspirants
This is the question which is making
every candidate of the eight remain
ing pause. Mayor Meals is understood
to favor Mr.. Steiner, an ex-president
of Common Council, and as Mr.. Cor
gas seems to be entirely out of dan
ger as is, perhaps, Mr.. Bowman, there
would seem to be in prospect an inter-
esting scrap for the other two places.
Royal is believed to be out of the run
ming inasmuch as the Republican
voters will undoubtedly endeavor to
retain three members of the municipal
OF course, the air was full of the
usual talk to-day of double crossing
and the other unpleasant incidents
that usually punctuate a primary con-
test. Leaders Of all factions are being
blamed for insincerity and the custo-
mary threats of retaliation are heard.
Much of this sort of talk will pass
away with the bitterness of the fray,
Republicans generally are more than
nIaaead with tba showing nf ha Y-ty
in the preliminary fracas and it is be-
lieved that wise party counsels will
prevent inharmonious factional dis
turbances during the main contest.
