Worthington, Mimi, May 3.-Re-
publican primaries for the election
of delegates to the Mobiles county
convention which meets Wednesday
were held Saturday in Worthington.
The attendance was light and not
much interest shown. At confer
ence held two days previously, names
were chosen to go on the primary
tickets. The first ward was entitled
to seven delegates and the second to
eleven. Eleven names were placed
on the first ward ticket and sixteen
on the second ward ballot. The vot-
ers eliminated the extra names. The
primary results with the number of
votes received by each delegate
elected were: First ward, twenty
votes cast, of which ]. ]. Kies re-.
ceived 20; w. E. Madison, 10: J. N:
Gould, 10: Mrs. F. NJ. Manson and
Ernest Sterling, II each; D: W.
Phillips, Is: John Roberts, IL. In
the second ward sixty-one votes
ceived SO; ]. A. Atkinson, J. G. Mott
and A. B. Williams, 81 each: L. M.
Shell, 40; A. T. Latta, 48: A. w. Fa-
gerstrom and E. ]. Jones, AZ each;
Mrs. H. E. Lamb, 80: ]. E. Godfrey
and NJ N. Reistroffer tieing for elev-
enth. place with 81 votes each. No
returns have been received from the
country and it is doubtful If causes
were held in the rural precincts on
account of the almost z fmpassabfe
roads. While it is not known, def
nitely, how the city delegates elect
ed stand on the governorship, in the
neigh borhood, of one half Of them are
for Julius A. Schmahl. The rest are
n iNi1ni having nh0ina If
Joks like an uninstructed delegation
fom the Mobiles county convention.
A. E. Hart, proprietor of the larg-
est department store in Worthington,
has just closed a deal for the sale
of his store building and the lot On
which it stands, to Swanton & Ell
lers, proprietors Of the only moving
picture show in the city. The con-
sideration is $4,000. The store is
on the main business street of the
street 1t is admirably adapted for
movie house. Possession will be
given September 1. Mr.. Hart has
been in the mercantile business in
Worthington the past nineteen years
and has made a big success OF it.
During this time he has also bought
wool extensively and of late has been
interested in real estate. He served
for four years on the city council.
Mr.. Hart will close out his mercan-
tile interests as soon as possible. He
will remain in Worthington and de-
vote his attention to wool buying
and real estate. The purchasers Of
the property will remodel the build
ing, and expect to have it ready for
the show business by the first of next
year IL not sooner.
Result in Fairnnont.
Fairmont, Mimi, May 3.-Less than
fifty voters out of $500 republicans
in Martin county turned out to vote
in the republican caucus Saturday
evening. J. e. Haycraft, member Of
trying law suit, and DR.. F. N. Hunt,
county chairman, was called to Blue
Earth, in consultation. The Senator
Ward element took no active part in
I the caususes, and there was but one
ticket in the field.
The county convention will place
several ladies on the delegation to
the state convention Saturday. 1t Is
understood that the county conven
ton will favor Fred Hadley for, gov;
ernor, with Preuss and Schmahl tied
for second choice. 1t is expected that
Louis Collins, soldier candidate, will
be favored for lieutenant governor.

ceived no opposition:
First Ward: Mrs. Elizabeth Luedt-
Ike, Mrs. Mary F. Ward, Robert F.
Porter, Ben F. Ballou, George A.

Richardson, R. I. Sawyer, Miss Min
nie Bird, Mrs. J. /. Daffer.
Third Ward: Frank A. Olson,

With the women of the First and
Second wards organized into civic
clubs and studying politics in all its
mysterious and entangling phases,
and women throughout the county
showing more than a passing inter-
est in political issues of the day, it
begins to look as though Martin coun-
ty women, at least will cut some fig
ure in the coming election.
