FESLER LOSES
HOME COUNTY,
RETURNS SHOW
Seventy-Eight Precincts Are
Counted, With McCray
4,258, Rival 4,194.
TONER FAR IN ARREAR

James w. Fes1er has failed to carry
even Marion county, his home coun-
ty, late returns indicate.
Official returns for seventy-eight
Marion county precincts, unofficially
L<bulated, give Warren T. McCray
4,25s and Fesler 4,194.
Toner polled 80 votes in these pre-
cincts.
Indications are that McCray has piled
up a majority Of 1000 in the state, as
suring him the nomination.
John Isenbarger of North Manchester
and Mason J. Niblack Of Vincennes were
contesting for second place, with James
K. Risk running a surprisingly strong
third.
FEsLER's SHOWING
SURPRISE OF ELECTION.
The poor showing made by Fesler was
the surprise Of the state election.
With every report of Official returns
the fact that McCray is running him a
close race in Marion county is apparent.
The defeat Of Fesler probably is the
hardest blow ever suffered by the re-
publican organization in Indiana.
Fesler was the organization candidate.
His overwhelming defeat can not be
taken as anything but a Reputation of
the organization.
McCray was known as the candidate
Of the ants in the state and in Marion
county.
Edward c. Toner Of Anderson, who
WIS not considered a formidable can
didate except in some quarters, polled
nearly as many votes as Fesler.
