HUTSELL IN DOG FIGHT


This one word was mouthed to-
day by followers of Harry o. Cham
berlin and Edgar Hart in the races
for congress and county clerk on the
G. o. P. ticket.
Adherents of both candidates
claimed that the slight lead of Del
bert o. Wilmeth, in the congress
sional race, and of George o. Hut
sell, in the clerk derby, might be
upset by the official vote canvass
and, if not, a recount of all pre-
cinctS in the two races might be
asked.
Managers of Wilmeth claimed an
unofficial count of 212 precincts
showed Wilmeth leading, 1892 tt
12,757 for Harry o. Chamberlin.
Both Claim Victory
Hart and Hutsell both claimed
victory in the race for county
clerk. Hart forces asserted their
tabulations showed they were
winner by 100 votes while Hutsell
hackers cof1tended they had won by
a count of 1854 to 1884.
The slight margin of victory gave
hopes to Chamberlin forces and
Hart supporters that the canvassing
boards final figures would throw
the lead into their laps.
William Henry Harrison was the
victor over Alexander G. Cavins in
the G.. o P prosecutors race with
a vote of 1855 to 1925 for Cavins
County councilmanat-large was
another close race on the G. 0. P.
ticket with only the official canvass
to determine the final victorS. Miss
Mary Frances Stubs was trailing
Joseph j. Schmid by 236 votes, while
Edward H. WiSchmeyer and John G.
Truemper were assured the other
two posts on unofficial tabulation.
Democrats Total Higher
Democrats polled slightly more
votes than the Republicans in the
primary.
Basis of this belief was in the
county prosecutors race where a
total of 1886 votes were cast on the
Democratic side, while only 42,63e
were cast on the Republican Ticket
But in the city race for mayor, the
Republicans outvoted the Democrats
with a total of 44,764 G.. o. P. bal
lots cast to 40,083 by the Democrats
Lack of interest on the part OF
the Democrat sin the mayoralty race
is believed to have cut down then
city vote.
The official board expects tc
complete it's work tomorrow.
