The Winslow mail., 1924-09-12
HUNT SELECTED
BY A PLURALITY
OF MORE Than
TEN THOUSAND

IueSQay, primary electlOn DAY, was
stormy, a cold rain falling. ali day and
the night before, making the day so
forbidding that a small vote was poll
ed in the three local precincts. A
heavy vote seems to have been polled
over the balance of the state, and
much interest was manifest in the
selection Of the choice of candidates
to lead the two parties.
Returns received by The Mail from
all but 81 state precincts give George
w. p Hunt, present governor and can
didate for denomination on the demo-
cratic ticket, a total of more than
10000 votes over Sydney P. Osborn,
his nearest opponent, or 21716 for
Hunt, 1886 for Osborn and 1885 for
Samuels. Dwight B. Heard was nomi-
mated for governor on the republican
ticket by about 1000 plurality over
Maddox, S449 votes being cast for the
former and 1892 for the latter
Navajo county, according to returns
so far received by The Mail, gave
Hunt vote of 525 against 33S for Os-
born and 102 for Samuels, and the re-
publicans favored Maddox slightly,
giving him 297 votes to his opponents
Dwight B. Heard, 266.
In the race for justice of the Su
preme court, Judge A., c. Lockwood
(Democra), the tabulation shows,
has a lead of 4O57 over his nearest
opponent, Loren Vaughn in the four
cornered race for the Democratic
nomination for the office. The returns
this morning gives Lockwood Demo
craft, 1150S; Vaughn Democrat),
7451; Bollinger Democrat), 1856; and
Cunningham (Democrat), $500; while
Charles F. Ainsworth, candidate for
the republican nomination without any
opposition polled total of 54S2.
The returns this morning show the
results in the corporation commission
contest among the four democrats to
be as follows: White leading with
9445, Claypool 9417, Earhart 1915,
Raumaker 1922.
All state and local contests seem to
be settled with the exception of the
race between White and Claypool for
corporation commissioner, the slight
lead by the former not assuring his
nomination, as the results from the
few remaining precincts may yet
swing the choice to Claypool.
County contests centered in the
races for sheriff, county attorney,
recorder and school superintendent.
In the first Divelbess, republican,
without opposition won the nomina-
ton, and Osborne's nomination on the
democratic ticket is conceded by Hub
bard, the latest, but incomplete figures
giving the former 514 to 40 for Hub
bard Winslow was strong for Hub
bard, but the south and east ends OF
the county were carried strong by
Osborne.

ed for county attorney over Udall and
Larson, on the democratic ticket, the
vote being, Sawyer 512, Udall 800, Lar
son 49, Hoyt won the republican
nomination by vote of 296 over AK
line, with 250.

corder, was nominated on the demo-
cratic ticket, over Mrs. Gardner. The
