ELECTION MARKED BY LIGHT
VOTE-JUDGE STEELE AND
THATCHER HIGH MEN

Tuesdays primary election was not
fraught with any great amount of in.
terest and the vote was extremely
light. While the, returns are not all
In from the outside precincts, it is
estimated that the total vote will not
be above 1900, which is about 20 pei
cent of the normal vote in the county
There were but four contests in the
republican ranks and none in the dem
-ocratic resulting in the iamo-
cratic primary, being a somewhat
perfunctory affair and drawing a very
light vote. In fact, in many of the
country precincts, no attempt was
made to hold democratic primary
Incumbents ALI Win
In each of the four contests in the
republican ranks, the men who are
now in office were again nominated.
The closest contest was for the nom
ination for probate judge, between
Judge Adrian Nelson and L. G. Peter
son, Judge Nelson winning by approx
imately 100 votes.
Sheriff John l.. Woody won the re-
nomination for that office in the three
cornered fight against 0. W. Boards
ley and 3. H. Mcconnell, by about
200 votes over Beardsley, second high
man.
County Assessor E. Gemmill won
over B. c. Rowe by about 300 votes,
Judging from the returns available.
In the first commissioners district
John Cone won over Alvah Strong by
a vote estimated at between 800 and
400.
One of the interesting races was be-
tween Judge Edgar G. Steele, candi-
date for the nomination for district
judge on the republican ticket, and
Harry Thatcher, candidate for the
nomination for auditor, for high place
on the ticket Practically every voter
cast his ballot for these two men, and
the returns so far received show them
running neck and neck. In two Of
the Moscow precincts their vote tied.
