Jefferson County Primary Shows Low Voter Turnout
The Democratic primary in Jefferson County yielded under 40 percent turnout with voters split over candidates. Key races included Wm. H. Wilson and B. H. Hiner for Congress, Gray Silver and H. S. Cushwa for State Senate, and C. M. Wetzel defeating J. P. Kearfott for the Legislature. County offices and school boards were elected in several districts amid broad voter indifference and claims that the party risked disaster by forcing Silver onto the ticket.
