Goodrich Beats McCray Watson Ahead of New

More Interest Centers In Returns From Primary Than There Was In the Voting

Logan Wood Beat Constable Official Returns From Jasper County Shows McCray 553, Goodrich 334, Myers 58, - Watson 469, New 335, Robinson 95. Indications from dispatches from all parts of Indiana point to the nomination of James P. Goodrich, of Winchester, for governor, while Warren T. McCray seems to have carried the tenth ongressional district and to have run strong in all parts of the state, it is conceded that he was defeated and- that Mr. Goodrich will receive a majority of all votes cast

and that his nomination will result from the primary. James E. Watson, of Rushville, seems from meagre returns to have somewhat the best of Harry S. New, of Indianapolis, although the latter had a large plurality in Indianapolis and a surprisingly large vote in many parts of the state, sufficient to throw the senatorial contest over to the state convention in April. John A. M. Adair, of Portland, who was endorsed by the democratic machine, won readily over Leonard B. Clore, of Johnson county. John W. Kern, of Indianapolis, present United States senator, had no opposition. William R. Wood, of'Lafayette, received about 80 per cent of the republican vote for lOth district representative. George Hershman of Crown Point, apparently defeated Reno Isherwood, of Lafayette, for the democratic nomination.

Progressives who did not vote the republican ticket, largely remained away from the polls and in the 2nd precinct of Marion township there wfiß not a progressive vote cast, while the total in the county was only 57. Logan Wood, of Parr, has apparently defeated-- R. Lyle Constable, of Newton county, for the nomination for state representative. Mr. Wood carried Jasper county by 317 votes and only lost Newton county, Mr. Constables home county, by 48. Benton county was the fighting ground and while no returns have ' ■ p - V

been received from there it is believed Mr. Wood will get at least an even break and since he goes into that county with a majority of 269, his nomination seems assured. The official vote in Jasper county was as follows: For U. S. Senator — Harry S. New 335 Arthur R. Robinson 95 James E. Watson 469 For Governor— James P. Goodrich 334 Quincy Myers 5i Warren T. McCray 553 For 10th Dist. Representative— Nelson J. Bozarth 130 William R. Wood 742 For Joint Representative— R. Lyle Constable .... .... 287 William L. Wood 604 The republican county ticket had no opposition and is composed of the following men, most of whom are candidates for re-election: Treasurer^—Charles V. May.

Recorder —George W, Scott. Sheriff —Ben D. McColly. Coroner —C. E. Johnson, Surveyor—Edgar D. Nesbitt. Com. Ist Dist—Henry W. Marble. Com. 2nd Dist—D. S. Makeever. Reuben Hess was nominated for prosecuting attorney of the 30th judicial circuit, composed of Jasper and Newton counties, having no, opposition. 4- - For governor on the democratic ticket the result in Jasper county was John A. M. Adair ....295 Leonard B. Clore .... .-ISI For 10th district representative— George E. Hershman 348 Reno Isherwood 64 In some precincts Ishei*wood did not get a vote. Mr. Hershman, who is an attorney at Crown Point, was bom in Jasper county" and for a short time practiced „ law in this courtty. die is an able and ambitious young man. C. Arthur Tuteur was again nominated on the democratic ticket for prosecuting attorney. The democratic county ticket was named, which had no opposition, as follows: , Treasurer —S. A. Brusnahan. • Recorder —W. D. Bringle. Sheriff —John G. Culp. Coroner—Alfred ,P. Rainier. - Surveyor—Devexe Yeoman. Coin. Ist Dist. —W.n. Grube, Jr. Com. 2nd Dist.—Robert J, Yeomalk In' the fourth precinct of Jasper

county, where the college is located, quite a number of voters froih the college called for democratic ballots, but it is understood they unanimously declined to vote for Woodrow Wilson for president, expressing their disapproval not only of his policy in the European war but also of his fail-_ ure to protect Americans and their interests in Mexico. This same reason is assigned over the state for the small democratic vote and in some places life-long democrats .called for republican ballots and voted the ticket. It ie reported that eleven in one precinct did this in Tippecanoe county. Carl Lamb, of Benton county, received 212 votes, J. A. McFarland, of Jasper county, 143 votes, and J. A. Wildasin, of Newton county, 66 votes for joint representative on the democratic ticket, irwas not. lparned here how they fared in the other counties of the district. Mr. McFara candidate, which doubtless was responsible for his small vote. The delegates to the republican state convention are: 1 H. W. Marble, H. B. Brown, William Whited, J. D. Allman, C. P. Fate, Jesse Nichols, C. H. Peck.
