nett and Frank A. Moore, for supreme
judges, and John d. Mickle for dairy
and food commissioner, had no opposi-
tion, and of course, are nominated. On

The Democratic Ticket.
The democratic vote cast was par
ticularly light at the election yester,
day as William Galloway and T. A
Rinehart, candidates for circuit Judge
in this district we're the only names on
the ballot The returns today in gen
eral, however, tend to show that Ma
rion county democrats preferred to
write in the names Of republican can
didates instead of following the slate
adopted at the party convention. Grant
Corby, however, received the demo-
cratic nomination for district attorney
with 122 votes out of 81 precincts,
while Max Gehlhar was second with
S8.
Needham was the democratic prefer
ence for sheriff according to the count
from the precincts heard from today.
Mark Weatherford was the choice for
congress but the vote was so light in
most Of the precincts that one Of the
latter might cast heavy vote for some
other man than the general party choice
and change the entire result. The par
ticular interest today in checking over
the returns was in the republican race
and the democratic nominees were con
tent to wait until the final count The
numerous names written in and the
small vote made the counting Of the
democratic ballots slow.

rion county precincts on the principal
