Elections wer held in every pre-.
cinct in the county except Sandy
Hook in the Seventh district. AL
though there was some difficulty in
coTalling officers to hold the election
in some places, the polls were finally
opened everywhere and elections held.
Democratic leaders expressed re-
great that the party vote was not
larger in Maury county, because it will
reduce the eounty's strength in state
conventions. But state conventions
have been practically eliminated I'M
der the new primary law, SO that re-,
ductio will not be so much los after
all
Mmury county as usual went Demo-
cratic, in Tuesdays election, not with
the accustomed big vote but with a
majority that ranks we'll with the best
years, the Republicans also voting
lightly Senator John r. Shields was
given Il napjority Off 500 and the 9th
er Democratic nominees received maj
critics ranging along the same figure.
Representative l.. z. Padgett led the
entire ticket while Hon. Sam A. Hays
led the legislative ticket. The vote
in the county was about so per cent
OF the normal general election
strength, but considering the large
number of voters out OF the county
because of their service in the army
and navy or in government industries,
it was considered a good representa-
ton of the people.
The vote given each candidate was
as follows:
U. S. Senator-John X. Shields,
Democrat, 1911; H. Clay Evans. Re-
publican, .242.
Governor Roberts, Democrat, L.
sci; Yindsay, Republican, 215.

1907.
State Senate Clarke, Democrat, H.
500.
Representative Russell, Democrat,
1877; Hays, Democrat, 1S4S.
Interest in the election was at low
ebb all day and last night there. was a
distinct difference in the scenes about
The Herald building as contrasted
with other years. A number of men
assembled early in the evening and
until a late hour theer was always
few lingering to get the latest news,
but there was none of the old time
interest that is generally shown on
election nights.
Returns were received early from
all precincts in Maury county and
this county was the first to give a
complete report to the Nashville pap
ers and the Democratic state head
quarters. There was no opposition to
the legislative and congressional can
didateS, consequently the local inter-
est was mill. The chief interest lay in
learning how the Democrats had fair
ed in other states in which the vote
was expected to be close.
