Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-08-31

Returns from the vote cast in the
Cascade county primary election had
been so far reported Wednesday eve
ming that but one county nomination
apparently remained in doubt. The en-
tire city vote was uabulated and the At
outside precincts all had been reported
but II, and these, with the exception
of Neihart, are considered capable OF
influencing the final returns but little.
The race about which the most doubt
centers is between John j. Holmes and
A. ]. Fousek for the democratic NOM
ination for county treasurer, Holmes
being 20 in the lead at the last count.
In the republican congressional race
Scott Leavitt was leading j. Nj. Bur
ingame by 242 and it seemed certain
that he would maintain his lead in Cas-
cade county. c. n. Pray continued to
lead his opponents in the race for the
republican nomination for United
States senator in the county and is ex-
pected to emerge with a plurality OF
ct least 500. l.. l.. Galloway, repub-
lican candidate for chief justice of the
state supreme court, received a ire
mendous vote in his home city ana
county, having a total approximately
four times as large as the combined
vote of his opponents.
On the democratic ticket, Barker
has a safe lead over Hockersmith, his
nearest opponent, and Ryan is leadlng
Eichemeyer by more than ZOO. Spo-
gen is the nominee for auditor ana
Wegner is the nominee for admins
traitor by nearly two to one vote.
Burns has safe lead for sherlff,
Holland being the runner up, but not
within reaching distance.
The race between f. A. Ewa!d and
W. J. Tighe, republicans, for the noml-
nation for county attorney, gave Ewald
an apparently safe lead. Ewald's lead
Wednesday night was 140, with seven
country precincts missing. Andretta
republican, for county commissioner,
was leading Gordon Ferguson. his near
est opponent, by an even hundred votes
and the dopesters consider his noml-
nation certain But six precincts were
missing in this contest. The one pre-
cinct of particular consequence still to
he reported is Neihart, but the An
dretta and Ferguson vote were report
ed from there. Other precincts from
which the count has not been received
are Belts. Blythe, Adel, Riceville, Al
bright and Belt park. The vote in the
county was approximately 80 per cent
of the registration, but considerably
above that point in Great Falls. In
terest taken in different contests by
women is considered responsible for
the large vote in the city.
