Republicans Nominate County Ticket in Primary Vote
The county GOP nominated H. C. Dillman for auditor and E. 5 S. Wells for clerk district court, T. H. Maxwell for county recorder, E. W. Drake for county attorney, and T. Crozier for the board of supervisors with Dillman facing the only contest. Dillman led auditor votes 624 to 304 for Becker, 249 for Lodge, and 120 for Curtis. Barger beat Bartholomew for district judge endorsement 672 to 540. The primary showed low voter interest and no oppo sition for most county offices, with apathy blamed on lack of contests and subdued auditor campaigns. The new central committee will be formed after the convention Monday.
