PRIMARY
VOTE rs NOT LARGE
Only About 200 Votes Had Been Cast
This Afternoon in First Primary
of Kind in Iowa.

The first presidential preference
primary to be held in Keokuk To-Day
did not prove overly popular to judge
from the votes-or lack of them-that
had been cast up until early this
afternoon. In five Of the seven wards
which were canvassed this afternoon
145 votes had been cast up until 81
o'clock. The total number OF votes
cast up until this afternoon at press
time was about 200. 1t was estimated
that $50 would be cast In the enlre
city by the time the polls closed To-
night at o'clock.
There seemed to be little interest,"
in the primary Most of the voters
had either forgotten about it entirely
or we're not particularly keen on vot-
ing The only contest of much inter
est is that in the democratic ticket
between the Marsh and Dunn forces
John T. Adams Of Dubuque, repupn'
can candidate for national committee
man. is finding opposition in John
Olson of Forest City.
