day and f7IS NOHlIndtIon wa
 Accomplished by Large Ma
 jority.
 Less than 75 per cent of tht
 registered voters in the state
 voted in the primaries last Tues
 day. The percentage of demo
 cratic voters who went to the polls was much larger than that of the other parties. The con. test between Hunt and Olney fol the nomination for governor furnished the incentive for the democrats to attend the pri- maries, and probably more than 75 per cent of the registered democrats voted. There being no close contests in the republi- can party. fewer voters in that party went to the primaries.
 The returns from the election have been very slow in coming in especially in this county. Nearly one-half of the precincts had made no report up to the time the News went to press, and there is but little prospect of getting accurate figures until the official count is made by the board of supervlsors next week. Outside of Navajo county sui ficient number of precincts throughout the state have report ed to give the general result, aI- though majorities cannot be figured accurately.
 Governor Hunt was renomi- mated by a majority of approxi- mately 5000 votes. Senator Ashurst was renominated as was Representative Carl Hayden. Henry D. Ross was nominated for the supreme court justiceship and Sidney P. Osborn for secre- tary of state. Jesse L. Boyce for state auditor and D. F. Johnson for state treasurer had no oppo- sition. Wiley E. Jones was nom mated for attorney general and c. o. Case for superintendent of schools. Amos Betts, for corpo- ration commissioner, G. H. Bolin. for mine inspector and Chas. R. Howe, for tax commissioner, were all nominated. The repub- licans nomination Judge Joseph H. Kibbey for the United States senate and H. L. Eads for repre- sentative in the lower house of congress.
 In Navajo county there were only a few contests in the two leading parties. A. B. Randall was nominated by the republi- cans for assessor over z. N. Decker. In Winslow w. F. Brewer defeated A. H. Hensen for justice of the peace by a small majority. In Holbrook | precinct no candidate for justice of the peace had been placed on the republican ballot but the name of w. B. Woods was writ ten on the ballot by five voters and he was thereby nominated. Whether or not he will accept | and make the race he has not | yet decided. ". H. Clark and | l.. D. Divelbess were elected | precinct committeeman.
 In the democratic party for county officers there was spirit ed contest for the office of county attorney between Attorneys Thorwald Larson and G. c. Ba- zell. The former was nominated by a safe majority. the exact figures of which can not be given at this time. Mr. Larson claims that his majority will be between 100 and 150. A. M. Boyer was nominated over A. D. Lathrop for justice of the peace for Hol- brook precinct. R. s. Teeple and c. H. Jordan were elected precinct committeeman in Hol- brook precinct.
 The republicans of Navajo county did not nominate a candi- date for county superintendent of schools, and the present in- cumbent, Prof. Joseph Peterson. will have no opposition in the general election. Miss Dee M. Moss, county recorder, will like wise be reelected without oppo- sition. her republican opponent, Mioc EIooY,oy- Handora0n havinO
