SMALL MAJORITIES ARE PRINCIPAL FEATURES (COXTINI El> FROM PARK ONE) Gottschalk, won over Opliger, carrying all three counties in the district by a large majority. Gerber led with the fin*t ten precincts for clerk but Nelson foged ahead then and won by u small number of votes. Ashbaucher led in almost every precinct and carried the town of Berne, the home of hie opponent, 1. O. Kerr by six voles. Dick Boch received a large majority of the votes, defeating Abraham Bagley of Berne and Cline won over Zimmerman for county assessor after a close race during the entire night. For commissioner of the first district John G. Hoffman nosed out August Busick, Simon J Bowers of Kirkland, running third. First returns came from south St. Marys on the republican ticket while Berne B sent in the first democratic returns. All of the precincts but five were in at two o'clock this morning and these were not received until today. A large crowd here and others in every part of the county received the returns as rapidly as they could be compiled. Free telephone service arranged by the Daily Democrat extended to every district in the county and thousands of calls were made. Expressions of appreciation are due the telephone exchanges and those who assisted in that work, a difficult job on election night. The primary in this county was conducted in a splendid manner and we congratulate every candidate on the high standard set for such a canvas without mud-slinging and without stooping to dirty politics. The committeemen elected in the primary will meet next Saturday to organize. The district meetings will be held the week following and then the state meetings. The republican convention will be held the last week of May and the democrats will convene at Indianapolis June 2nd. A Large Democratic Vote The democrats were out in force yesterday, the largest vote being polled for sheriff with a total of 4,627 of which Hollingsworth secured 1140 and Amspaugh 855. according to the official figures. Baker was third with 801 and Heller fourth with 669. The total vote for most of the offices was about 4,000 as can be ascertained by a glance at the official table in this issue. The Adams county candidates are all well and favorably known. John T. Kelly, renominated for his second two-year term as prosecuting attorney, is one of the old wheel horses of the party, having served in the legislature and as county clerk prior to his election to this office. Thurman A*. Gottschalk, named for state senator has served four terms in the lower house of the legislature, where he served as democratic, leader during the last two sessions. His vote in the three counties of the district, Adams, Biackford and Wells, shows his high standing. His home is at Berne, where he is engaged in the tile business. During the past year, he has devoted much time as a member of the Dunes Park commission and the educational committee. George L. Saunders, of Bluffton, who was nominated without opposition for representative in this district, is at present the state senator and in that capacity made an excellent record. He is the editor of the Bluffton Banner. John E. Nelson, for county clerk, is the present incumbent in that office and by his courteous and efficient service has won many new friends. His home was at Monroe before he assumed office. Edward Ashbaucher. the nominee for treasurer, is a. Decatur resident, having lived here since he was twelve years old. He was born just east of Berne, May 19, 1882. was educated in the Decatur schools and has had considerable experience in business, first with his father, Peter Ashbaucher, in the hardware business, was for years with the Decatur Produce Company and for several years past has been a salesman with the Kirsch Automobile Agency. For sheriff. Harl "Spot" Hollingsworth won In a field of seven candidates after one of the most interesting races ever held in the county. He is the present marshall of Geneva and the best evidence of his popularity, was manifest in the splendid vote. I almost unanimous, given in his home' town and in other adjacent precincts. He made a vigorous campaign and completed a good organization over the county. Dr. J. C. Grandstaff was nominated for coroner. His home is at Preble and be is Me of the best known men of the county, having served as coroner several years ago. Dick Boch. the nominee for surveyor, ha* served three terms in that import-' ant office. He is qualified, popular and efficient in the performance of his duties. His home Is in this city, where he waa reared and educated J. A,. Cline of Root township, won in

i a close race over Wm. Zimmerman? i for county assessor. He Is well-known ' over the county, is a splendid type of citizen and has had considerable experience as a deputy assessor and in township work along that line John G. Hoffman, of Preble town1 ship, was nominated for commissioner frlm the first district. He Is a na1 tlve of that township, where he was born in 1864. 1U served five years as president of the Farmers State r Hank of Preble and for twenty years, ■ as the agent for the Preble Township ' Fire Insurance Company. He was a ■ supervisor of Preble township and In] ' all his service has proven trustworthy and sound. i The ticket is composed of strong ’ men and is well distributed over the 1 county. It's a winner. , ——o — ■ WATSON, ROBINSON, AL. STUMP LEADING (CONTINUED ON PACE SIX) William A. Cullop, 15,810; L. Ert Slack. 14.418; William Rauch, 8.852; William Curry, 8,748. i The democratic short term senator- , ial nomination went to Evans Woolens, Indianapolis banker, without opposition. With the democratic long term race a question for the state convention to decide on June 3. interest centered in the race between Frederick and Stump for the plurality vote. Frederick who entered the fight at the last moment, has made a vigorous campaign of the state and is understood to have strong groups of delegates pledged to him for the convention fight. Stump showed strength in the central portion of the state, and Cullop led in the northwestern part of the state. The count of the election returns was slowed down tremendously by use of the long Australian ballots and it was hours after the polls closed before definite returns began to come in. Returns from congressional fights were slow in coming in but re-nomin-ation of all the congressmen seeking another term was indicated. The vote in the republican senatorial races is expected to total nearly 350,000. A much larger vote than many politicians had anticipated. The vote was much lighter in the democratic camp. Watson's strength was uniform throughout the state and there was little question as to the outcome after the first few prpcincts were in. The senior Indiana senator has apparently carried every county in the state with the exception of Howard county, where Watson made his only speech of the campaign. In 55 of the 64 precincts in Howard county Adams was leading Watson by 600 votes. Failure of the farmers to rally to the banner of Adams was shown in the early returns and borne out in results tabulated throughout the night. Adams, who had counted strongly on the farm vote to combat the force of the thorough Watson organization, admitted defeat at midnight. In the republican short term race Graham showed a burst of strength in early returns from some of the upstate precincts, though his vote even in that section fell short of the expectations of his managers. Though claiming a clean cut majority of 50,000 over all other candidates, managers for Robinson were not concerned over the situation should he fail of a majority vote. They declared his strength was so outstanding at the polls that the state convention would have no choice but to nominate him if the choice went to convention. o BOYS RULE IN DECATUR TODAY Junior Officers Take Charge Os City Positions As Part Os Week’s Program Boys ruled Decatur his afternoon as a par of the boys' week program sponsored in this city by the Deca,tur Rotary club.

Batesville, fourth district. The nomination of W Clyde Martin, of Palmyra, recently expelled by the Church of Christ for operating a skating rink and community house, in the republican race in the third district seemed assured. He was leading Jesse Paul, of New Albany, three to one. The third district is normally democratic.
