DEMOCRATS NAME DR. M’CULLOCH

For Governor, While McCray Gets G. 0 P. Nomination. WILLIAMS WINS FOR JUDGE On Republican Ticket, and Cumming-, ham Gets Democratic Nomination —Johnson Carries Jasper County.

, In Tuesday’s primary in Indiana Dr. McCulloch of Indianapolis received the Democratic nomination for governor, and Warren T. McCray of Kentland the Republican nomination. George A. Williams of Rensselaer won out for ciucuit judge for the counties of Jasper and Newton by a plurality of 67 over his four Republican opponents, carrying Jasper county by 10 and Newton county by 57. T. B. Cunningham of Kentland received the Democratic nomination for judge over A. D. pabcock of Goodland, by a small majority in each county. He carried Jasper county by 55 and Newton county by 74, although Mr. Babcock carried his home township of Grant by 90 majority.

“Hi” Johnson carried Jasper county on the presidential preference choice by 129, but McCray lost the county to Fesler by 31. J. D. Rich of Brook received the Republican nomination for joint representative with three opponents in the field. While Wood, Lowden and Harding delegates were elected in Jasper county, Johnson’s carrying *it miay mix matters up a little perhaps in the state convention and the selection of delegates to the national convention. There was no preferential vote cast in Jasper county for a Democratic choice for president, and, in fact, the delegations from nearly all states holding primaries will go un. instructed to the national convention at San Francisco next month. The only contest in Jasper county was over governor and judge, and no great amount of interest was taken in these nominations. The Republicans made an active campaign for their candidates for president,' governor and judge and sue' ceeded in securing many votes of Democrats for their favorite candidates. The intention of the primary law is to prevent the voters of one party from voting for or packing a convention for the opposite party, and no doubt scores of Demo-

'crats who were approached by canand personal friends among 4he Republicans and asked to vote for a Republican candidate, did so without any intention of doing wrong. Howdver, it is a disreputable thing to do in any event and makes a mere farce of the primary. This accounts in great measure to the small apparent Democratic vote in the county. There was really only about a 50 per cent vote cast of both Democrats and Republicans combined, and as one cannot vote a mixed ticket in the primary, those Democrats voting for, a Republican candidate either voted the entire ticket or but for one man, leaving the balance of the ballot blank. The Republican delegates to the state convention are Claude May of Remington, Charles Meadel of Carpenter, C. W. Hanley, B. D. McColly and L. H. Hamiltdn of Rensselaer, C. P. Moody of Barkley, H. W. Marble of Wheatfield and John Greve of Demotte. The latter Is said to be for Johnson, while Hanley and one or two others are for Harding; McColly for Lowden, and the others for Wood. ’The following is the vote by precincts on president, governor and judge, and is quite interesting in revealing the strength of "the various candidates In the several precincts:
