WARNER AND CAREY WERE BOTH BEATEN

C. C. Warner Lost White County by 3(14 After Carrying Jasper County by 119 Votes. '-v / • It is the first time for a long time that Jasper county has been represented in both branches of the legislature by democrats. But it will be. in the house for the next two years and in the senate the next four years. Charley Wdrner carried Jasper county by 119 votes but lost White county by 304. He was thus defeated by 185 votes. His opponent is Patrick Hays, a democrat of White county. Mr. Hays is an old SQldier and a nice old gentleman but he will probably not prove a very live wire in the legislature as he is a man of advanced years who has had little experience in lawmaking. Lawrence D. Carey, republican candidate for state senator, carried Jasper county by 86 and lost White county by 230. The official Result in Newton and Starke counties has not been received but it is probable that he has lost both counties. Opposed to him on the democratic ticket was Chester A. McCormick, of North Judson, a newspaper publisher and a very excellent young man. He will doubtless prove an active member of the senate and should represent the district very ably. John Brown, of Monon, who represented the White c and Jasper district* in the state legislature two terms, having been elected as a republican, did not cut much of a figure on the' progressive ticket and received only 399 votes in Jasper county. Arthu/ Tuteur, democrat, also lost out for prosecuting attorney. The office again goes to Fred Longwell, of Brook, who has ably filled it for the past four years. Mr. Tuteur carried Jasper county by 101 votes and lost Newton county by 174, according to a telephone message received by Coun* ty Clerk Perkins. That would make Mr. Longwell’s 1 plurality in the two counties 73. White county elected democrats for every office. Newton county did the same, -with the exception of a republican surveyor. There won’t be a republican in a large number of court houses in the state where democrat office holders had before been unknown.
