FULLER AND SHIvELY
BOTH LOST IN RACE
Returns In County Precincts
Throughout Prowers Show That
League Was Especially Active
Nicholson and Schuyler Close.

Primary election passed off quiet
ly in Holly. There was almost no
excitement. The Chieftain is un-
able to give tabular abstract of
the vote in this issue, but presents
the totals for the county on the
United States senatorial candidates
and for the various county offices
as taken from the Lamar Register
of yesterday.
The returns show that the Nom
Partisan League was most active in
getting it's voters out, while the
Democrats and Republicans were
Indifferent. Here in Holly in Pre-
cinct 2, the Democrats polled 81
votes for U. s. senator and for the
same office the Republicans polled
AZ or total of IS. In Precinct 13
for the same offices the Democrats
pOlled so votes while the Republi-
cans polled Co.
The stay at home vote was more
disastrous for the Democrats, be-
cause of the endeavor of the League
to capture the Democratic organic
| alton. The result of this course Is
seen in the defeat of w. H. Shively
for commissioner in the first dis
trict and J. G. Fuller for sheriff in
both of which cases the League
was active. While the Democrats
are in control the Non Partisan
League has the ticket
In commenting on the primary
election the Lamar Register says:
Election day in Prowers county
passed very quietly and there was
very little excitement, but in spite
of that the total vote of 1891 is the
largest ever cast here at the primary
election. The gain over two years
ago is almost 600, about 400 Repub-
lican and 200 Democratic. In 1918
the Democrats cast 62S and the Re.
publicans 579. Yesterday the Dem
Ocrats cast S21 and the Republic
cans $40.
Locally the Non Partisan Leag-
uers made a complete cleanup on
the regular Democrats. Collins for
governor carries the county by
vote of 494 to 21S; and Callicotte for
senator has 1888 to 21l for Scott and
80 for banks. On the local ticket
L. F. Thorne carries the county by
As majority over Sam Higbee, Phil
Goodan for sheriff beat Jim Fuller
by 2S2 and G. +. Owens for commits
sioner of first district beat w. H.
Shively by 1867
According to latest returns the
race for U. S. senator on the Re
publican ticket between Nicholson
and Schuyler, is exceedingly close
with Nicholson slightly ahead.
