KUNKEL GETS 46 VOTES
Prohibition and Nonpartisan
Official Counts Completed
at Noon

Official counts of the Spring pri-
mary vote cast in Dauphin county on
the nonpartisan and the prohibition
tickets was completed at noon to-day
and the computers on the Republican,
Democratic, Washington and Social
list tickets were compiling the totals
on their tables at a late hour this aft
ernoon.
Indications are that the final figures
will be ready by early evening and it
is probable that the computers will
deviate from the usual policy and
total the national delegates first in
stead of taking the various candidates
in order.
The returns on the nonpartisan
count show that Dauphin county turn
ed in nearly two to one for Charles
Palmer, the Chester prohibitionist,
against Emory A. Walling, Erie, for
justice of the Supreme Court of Penn
sylvania.
In the city Palmer polled 1860 and
in the county 1854, or total of s.
1913, while Walling netted 2,131 in the
city and 1,042 in the county districts,
a total of 3,173.
