But few surprises were shown In
the result Of the Primary in Marion
county as far as Is known at press
time OF the West Virginian this al.
ternoon.
The total vote polled has not yet
been determined as number OF pre-.
cincts have not yet returned their Ger.
( tificates TO the county and circuit
clerks. 1t Is generally conceded how
ever, that the total Republican vote
will exceed the total Democratic vote
by several hundred.
In the Gubernatorial contest on the
Republican ticket which has attract
ed considerable interest, 1t is estimat-
ed from the returns that have so far
been received that Roblnson's ma
jority OF Lilly will reach about 1900
T. w. Fleming will receive approx
imately 1,400 majority in this coun.
ityk over Herne In the contest for the
Congressional candidacy. Hite In the
race for the U. s. Senator nomination
leads the county with Sutherland a
good second while White and Rosen-
bloom were both low. The strong vote
for Sutherland in this county was the
chief surprise OF the election. Bow
ers, Eliason and Hutchinson are con-
ceded to have received the nomination
for House Of Delegates in this county
and In the contest for state supertn-
tendent OF schools, Murray leads shaw-
key in this county by safe majority
Of 600 to 700. In the county Offices
yeach for sheriff leads his competi-
tors by 100 to 200. y.E (
On the Democratic ticket, Cornwei
for Governor was especially strong
and his majority is likely to reach
, 1900 to 1900. Glover for sheriff on
this ticket is conceded a majority OF
500 or 600 over his competitor Smith.
Musgrove and Conaway are the nom.
inees in Fairmont district for Justice
Of Peace, this being one OF the hot
contests of this ticket.

Scores Of delegates and spectators
still making their way to seats as

band had been playing patriotic airs
and party leaders had been taking ther
seats almost unnoted except from the
delegation Of their respective states
who applauded them.
"The hour OF II o'clock having ar

phrasing a remark made by the late
President Mckinley, this Is o year
whateier may have been true or past
years-when politics Is patriotism and
patriotism is politics. Therefore the
audience will please rise and sing two
verses Of America"
A male quartet led the singing. The
voices Of the delegates swelied through
the big hail in mighty chorus almost
drowning the band. There Was o mo-
ment Of confusion and delegates took
their seats and the Rev. John limo
thy Stone of Chicago offered prayer.
There was deep silence all over the
big hall as he read. At his request
the convention remained seated.
AT tho end Of the prayer the; conven-
ton was asked to rise and be photo
graphed. The flashlight went of
with bomb and the delegates laughed
good naturedly.
The next preceding was the reading
OF the call for the convention Sec

In some quarters the inference
seems to have taken root that the
Republican is controlled in its man
agement and policies by the irrigation
company, and that the editor is only a
hired man of the company. We rea-
lize that whatever we may have to
say on this subject will have but
little weight with those who enter
tain such an idea, but, anyway, we
are going to reiterate our former
statement to the effect that the pres
emit publisher of the Republican is
operating the paper under a lease
and is just as much a free agent in
all things pertaining to the paper
as if We owned it. SO long as the
