PERTINENT POLITICAL PRATTLE
(By A. I. Eirnonston.)

jefferson City, Mo, Sept. i9.-The
official state primary returns now in
printed form ready for distribution
to those interested, disclose some in
teresting facts relating TO the Dem
ocratic nominations for representa-
tives in various Missouri counties.
This unsought honor was legally be-
slowed by electors on partyrlen in
several such baliwicks where no one
had filed regularly for the nomina
ton.
In Howell county no Democrat
filed for the nomination for repre-
sentative but party electors there on
primary day thrust the honor upon
Sam j. Galloway, of West Plains, by
giving him thirteen votes. If he ac-
cepts the nomination the election day
result will tell how lucky the number
is. Two friends conplimented Mrs.
Ada Langston, of West Plains, by
voting for her. l.. G. Williams, of
Peace Valley, the same county, also
received two votes and j, G. Evans, of
West Plains, one.
Among other Missouri Democrats
complimented by friends with votes
for Representative when they were
not candidates was r. A. Morris of
Mexico, Audrain county, who was
handed three. In Cedar county Paul
Kemp and Galen Gilmore, both of
Eldorado, received one vote each, the
result being tie, therefore there is
no legal nomination. II Is now the
duty of the Democratic County Com
a.
cancy.
In Davies, Dekalb and jefferson
counties no candidates for legislative
honors appeared on either the Demo-
cratic or Republican tickets, and the
returns to Secretary Of State Baker
failed to indicate any complimentary
votes cast for any one. 1t is up to
the county committees of both parties
to name candidates TO fill the yacan-
cies.
