holds. Advices at noon Wednesday
indicated that Peavey had defeated
him with out much effort.
For the assembly nomination, K.
Martin Thompson of Phelps went into
Iron county, the home Of his opponent
with lead of about 300 votes. There
he surprised both his friends and
those OF Assemblyman Mark by cut
ting the Iatters majority in much
larger voting population down to less
than 100 votes.
Local interest was conferred in the
contests for county clerk. Clerk Of
Court, District Attorney and sheriff
For the first named Office, Mrs Viola
Everett. a candidate a9a issg
Mary Hong, received Very large
vote in her home town going out Of
Eagle River with a good majority to
her credit and repeated the trick on
a smaller scale at Phelps The vote
of other towns was not sufficiently
strong to overcome the practically
solid vote given to Miss Hong, in the
precincts of Presque Isle where she
formerly lived and formed an acquaint
ance which did not forget her in a
day when friendship counted
JOS. F. Habrich running for clerk of
court against Hunter Case Of Phelps
made a strong showing all over the
county but hunters home town came
to the rescue with vote for him
that put him across by a large major
ity
The office of district attorney had
two candidates in the field, Geo. E.
O'Connor and jonas Radcliffe, both
widely known throughout the county.
Mr.. O'Connor however was the favor
tie carrying. all but three precincts in
the county.
The greatest surprise to many came
in the result of the vote for sheriff
for which there were three candidates
r. c. ZiebeH, C. H Blohm, JOS L
Mccormick and Thos Gray were in
the field. In Eagle River Mr.. ZiebeI
walked away with the largest majority
given any candidate. Gray, the Win
chester candidate developed unexpect
ed strength in a number of precincts
and BIohm of Conover gave them a
genuine surprise when after carrying
his home town handily he went across
into the town Of Phelps and showed
them all under which was not SO sur.
prising when it is remembered that
Charlie has at some time or another
put down a well for about every farm
er in the township and enabled them
to get water without going to a neigh.
Dor for it,
Co., Treasurer, Chas. H Adams
Miss Fern Scott. Register of Deeds
and w. j. Walsh for Surveyor were
in position to sit back and watch
the other struggles with peaceful
minds as they had no opposition
The Democrats had no contests in
their party ranks so that the vote in
that party was light but large enough
to insure, them a place on the Official
ballot in November, for such offices
as they named candidates, those
being sheriff, treasurer and county
clerk.
In the landslide, nearly every con
gressional district in the state elect
ed LaFollette supporters and also il
a great many of the state Legislative
contests. Among the defeated ones il
Senator John Conant Of Westfiel(
who is well known here He switched
over to the Ganfield-Morgan GROVE
which we could have told him from
more than thirty years Of residence il
that district, was a pretty dangerous
thing to do.
1t was a battle in which not man,
Wisconsin newspapers can take mucl
credit for winning, as less than
