There will be two less contests in
the general election than were counted

on Saturday. Mr.. Matthews notified
Frederick Thayer, Jr., clerk to the
Board of Election Supervisors, on Fri
day, October 7, and Mr.. Haenftling
notified Mr.. Thayer on the following
day.
This leaves four contests in the race
for county offices.
In the Senate race Clifford Friend,
Republican, will oppose Bernard l.
Gender, Democrat. j. S. Teats, Re-
publican, will oppose J. W. Owens,
Democrat, for Sheriff. w. G. Meyers,
Republican, will oppose H. A. Lora-
ditch, Democrat, for clerk to the
County Commissioners; while in the
race for County Commissioner, there
will be three Republicans, Cheston Fl,
