DEMOCRATS DIVIDED
Fierce fractional Fight---Re-
publicans Nominate a
Strong Ticket


feature of the primary elections
in ShOshOne county last Tues
day was the great excess OF
republican votes as compared with the
democratic. This cannot be explained
by a lack of interest or apathy on the
part of democrats, for there was
a bitter fight being waged for the con-
troll of both the county convention and
central committee which naturally re-
suited in determined efforts to bring
out a full vote The fight was be-
tween the factions lead by Probate
Judge Weniger and that represented
by the Days. The fight also included
the nomination for probate judge and
in this Weniger won by a decisive ma
iorty. but the real fight was for con-
troll of the party organization. Both
sides claim to have won the contro-
versy but this will probably not be
settled until the county convention
meets. The significant point is that
with this fractional fight on and both
elements using every effort to get the
voters out the total democratic vote
in the county was but little more than
must be taken as strong indication of
the drift OF political sentiment and a
forerunner of what is going to happen
in this county on November ?.
Republicans United.
There are no fractional fights in the
ranks of Shoshone county republicans,
and the excessive vote in the primary
party affairs together with personal
interest in the contests for sheriff and
prosecuting attorney While these
contests were waged with an earnest
determination on the part of all con-
testing candidates, the results have
left no sore spots that will create any
permanent party dscord or prevent
republicans from entering the cam
paign thoroughly organized and work
ing in perfect harmony for the success
of the republican ticket in county,
state and nation. The county ticket
is made M largely of men who are
now serving the county in the positions
for which they have been nominated
and have therefore received an I'M
qualified vote of confidence, while the
other candidates are men of equally
high standing and possess unquestiOn-
ed qualifications for the respective po-
stiOns. With the exception of St
Maries and Big Creek precincts. re-
turns have been received from the re-
publican primary Returns from the
democratic primary have been received
from all but st. Maries Big Greek,
Delta and Pine Creek. The totals for
