 With Hunt leading Olney by 129S votes in thirty-hve out of ffty-two and with but two close races yet to consider, the bi-annual primary has come and gone Many are the condi- dates who now wish they had never put their political heads on the chop ping block. There are still others who made better in their races than they. or their friends. anticipated. Some sore spots exist but from present iadi- cations a strong Democratic party will face the election in November with no Qualms and no doubts.
 Seventeen precincts are yet to be heard from in Cochise county In most cases they are small and could not change the result in but two in- stances. the race for the senatorial nomination and that for the seventh place on the representative ticket. Roberts is leading Riggs by thirty-one votes. The outside may give Riggs the lead but. inasmuch as several of the precincts may be forecasted for Roberts, this is not expected. In the case of the race for the sev- enth place on the ticket for the lower Frank J. Vaughan has the lead over John S. Merrill of twenty votes. Mer- Till. in turn. is ahead of Francis by one vote. All of the seventeen pre- cincts 70 he heard from are in the outlying districts. Merrill. who lives in St David. and who is an old-tirhs- in the county. may wrest the seventh place away from the Bisbee man. whc is not so well known in the country precincts. In other words both VGug- han and Francis have boiled their hea- " votes. while Merrill may be ex- pected to beat both in the remaining precincts to be heard from.
 The big surprise of the primary came in the race for the nomination for sheriff. Though many expected Harry Wheeler to win. they did not expect the present officer to be nomi- mated by a majority. Jimmie McDon- aid and Sam Hayhurst, together. poll ed 2149 votes. Wheeler has already received 2245. Hayhurst failed to win in Douglas. Mcdonald. even. beat ing him there. with Wheeler leading. Mcdonald Won in the Warren District and in Lowell precinct by few votes. Wheeler took every other precinct in the county by big majorities.
 Another surprise was sprung in she race between Krebs and Ivey for the nomination for county recorder. Two years ago when Owen Murphy was renominated for the office. Ivey ran second and Krebs third
 Sparks and Rock are again the Dem ocratic nominees for supervisors. Sparks leads Rock by something over 100 votes. Adams was third. Taylor fourth and Westfield fifth.
