for Attorney General in both races
and Mr. Cureton was elected in
the State. Mr. Davidson had with-
drawn for Lieutenant Governor
and Mr. Johnson was chosen in the
State, carrying the county also.
Terrill carried the county by the
strongest vote, getting 2528 votes.
Mr. Mayfield’s name was not on
the ticket.
Johnson lead Mr. Allen by
.‘116 votes in the county and win-
ning in the district. Mrs. Frank-
lin defeated Mr. Hamilton for
Treasurer by 486 votes and Cat-
wile lead Wozencraft for Commis-
cioner of Precinct No. 4 by 232.
votes. One remarkable thing about
the commissioner'« race was the
unanimous vote Mr. Carwilc re-
ceived in his home box ; he getting
176 votes out 182, and getting all
the votes in Indian Mountain. An.
other rather remarkable thing
about the same race was that there
was a heavier vote cast in the sec-
ond primary than in the first in
Mr. ('arwile’s home box.
Only One Race Reversed from
First Primary—Heavy
Vote in Precinct
No. 4.
NOHE ROAD B0ND8
PASSED BY CAPITOL
ISSUES COMMITTEE
The second or run-off primary
passed off quietly last Saturday,
there being but little interest
shown in the election. Only 261!)
votes were cast in the second pri-
mary as against 4546 in the first.
A heavy vote however was poll-
ed in Precinct No. 4, owing to the
interest in the race in that precinct
for commissioner between C’arwile
and Wozencraft.
Only in one race were the re-
turns of the first primary chang-
ed and that was in the Representa-
tive’* race, in which (’. J. Lee won
over Mr. Russell by the narrow
margin of 18 votes. In the first
race the vote stood 1682 for Rus-
sell and 1376 for Lee. In the sec-
ond primrav the vote stood 1171
foT Russell and 1189 for Lee.
Mr. Cureton carried the county
y H. Burks, F. E. Adams and J.
3H. McMillan were in Dallas Tues-
-nay where they appeared before
and secured favorable action by
the Capital Issues Committee of
the Federal Reserve Bank at Dal-
las on the Comanche Road Bonds.
All bond issues of $100,000
must be passed upon by the Cap-
ital Issues Committee before the
bonds can be sold during the pe-
riod of the war. This is done in
tnroder that the Federal Govern-
ment may keep the issuance of
bonds in check so they will not
come in competition with the sale
of Liberty Bonds and so public
, construction works will not add
to the labor shortage in the Gov-
ernment works. ...
committee msy well feel
proud of their success in getting
i the bonds passed and we congrat-
f nlate them on '‘bringing home the
bacon.”
The road work means more to
ns at this particular time than any
one particular thing aside from a
general rain or scries of them.
It will give employment to those
who must have sueh, either in Co-
^ elsewhere, until rains
comm and crops can be pitched.
Every possible energy has been
pot forth toward getting the road
work under way but some difficul-
ties have been encountered which
one by one have been worked out
and the work will be started at an
early date.
We oongratulate those men on
their service, especially Mr. Burks,
who is inechaigc of the matter.
