KEEN INTEREST IN
 PRIMARY AT MESA

MESA, Sept. S.-With returns yet so incomplete as to definitely settle the nomination of but few candidates, in terest in the primary election continued keen in Mesa Wednesday and specuIa- ton was rife as to what the final counts would bring forth. Returns from the four Mesa precincts and Alma and Lehi were available early in the morning but they spelled nothing beyond the no1ni- nation of D. F. Jones for representative from this district and the nomination of the candidates on the two tickets for justice of the peace and constable of the precinct.
 Jones polled majority vote in all six of the local precincts, the final count giving him 421 to F. r Pomeroy's 265. several smaller precincts outside of this district will figure in the final returns but it is thought will not change the result materially

 The biggest majority polled by any one candidate was that rolled up by Victor H. Harding, candidate for county attorney, over Herman Lewkowitz Harding registered SIT to his opponents 1z5- W. k. Bowen, candidate for super visor, was next highest with a total from the six Mesa precincts of 559.
