Result as to Manning and Allen in Doubt No one Nominated for So licitor in this District Doughton Probably in the Lead for Congress Boyden Nominated for the Sen ate in Bo wan. All the counties in the State which bold primaries at all held them last Saturday. Many counties more than was anticipated did not hold county primaries at all. Some held primaries only as to local offices, while many others ommitteU the State candidates only. Some counties, Forsyth for in stance, will hold mass conventions next Saturday. For corporation commissioner Brown will he nominated to succeed himself over Bagwell, his only oppo nent. Lee seems to be in the lead for the long term over his opponents, Pearson and Graham. There seems to have been no voting on the congressional candidates in several of the counties of this district. Rowan goes for Murphy,. Iredell' for Caldwell and Taylorsville for Gwalt ney. Cabarrus gives a plurality for Doughton, with Caldwell second. Nothing has been heard from the other counties. Ii It Mannm or Allen? One of the hardest fought contests this far is that between Judges Man ning and Allen for the position now held on the Supreme Court bench by the- former. The reports from the various primaries held Saturday all over the State show that the matter is in doubt with chances that Judge Allen has won. Based on elaime made by the re spective managers of the two candi dates on the counties which have ex pressed themselves, Judge Allen has received majorities in 23 counties, and Justice Manning 23, while the primary votes of 9 counties will be di vided. This accounts for 70 of the 98 counties of the State. ' What the other 20 will do will only be known when the convention meets. ... ManagettDorteh, -who ia -Booking after- Judge Allen's campaign, claims that- his candidate will go into the convention with 125 majority, while Senator Foushee, who is representing Justice Manning,' more modestly claims claims a majority of 75 for his man. Judge Allen's manager claims that he will have from two-thirds to all in the following counties: Alexander, Al leghany, Anson, Bladen, Burke, Cher okee, Columbus, Craven, Cumberland, Duplin, Graham, Harnett, Iredell, Jackson, Johnsoi., Lenoir, Macon, Madison, McDowell, Mitchell, New Hanover, Northampton, Onslow, Pen der, Polk, Randolph, Robeson, Samp son, Scotland, Swain, Warren, Wayne, Wilson, Watauga, Yancey. - The following counties will be practically even: Cabarrus, Catawba, Edgecombe, Gaston, Granville, Lee, -Mecklenburg, (Pamlico, Pasquotank, Union, Vance. The Solidtorship Contest. Of the five men in the race for so licitor in the twelfth judicial district the indicatons are that Smth and Shannon-house will go into the con vention that is to be held in Gastonia July 7, with the closest possible vote, there being a difference, according to - the latest end most reliable reports . procurable, of not more than one con vention vote. . ' ? No one has the nomination on the first ballot. There are 240 votes in the district convention, and! they will be divided about as follows: Shannon bouse 73i Smith 72, Ohilds 31, Wil son 44, Mangum 20. ', According to the returns from Mecklenburg county, of the 85 votes 'allotted, Mr. Smith, who received a .total of 1,979 votes in the primary v will get 42.03 votes in the convention. Mr. Sbannonhonse, whose ; popular vote was 1,938, will receive 41.40 or .63 of one vote less than Mr. Smith. vIn Gaston there were but two can didates in the race, Mcsit-s. 'A. G. 'Mangum and George W. Wilson, the V judications being that Wilson earned the county in a ratio of about 65 to . 3o per cent. Of the 51 votes allotted to Gaston, it is estimated, that Mr. Wilson will receive 33 and Mr. Man ' gum 18. '. ', ' Lincoln at ' course ' went solid for . Childs. This will give him 20 votes. The convention will meet in Gas tonia July 7. . -: ' .. i In the Congressional Districts. " " In the third, fifth, sixth, eighth anl tenth districts tbe Democratic stand . ard bearers are in dispute. - In the other five districts,, the first, second, , fourth, seventh and ninth, the present able representatives' have no opposi tion arid will be unanimously endorsed by their respective district conven . turns. , ' . ..; '.. Based on tbe latest returns obtain able this is the situation in the eon ' tested districts t " - , Third District Representative C. R. Thomas 'will probably receive the renomination. In the Fifth District the result is in doubt between the four candidates, Steodman, Me'bane, Jones and Roy ster. In the sixth district a hard fight has been made against Godwin. He seems to be in the lead, but not enough to secure his nomination. There are four candidates against him, McClam my, McKinnon, Cook and Clark. In this, the eighth, district the matter is in doubt, with Doughton probably in the lead. Based on printed and private re ports J. M. Gudger, Jr., will go into the tenth district convention with a sufficient number of votes to nominate him on the first ballot as the opponent of John G. Grant (Republican) the incumbent. The Result in Rowan. In the Democratic primaries Satur day in Rowan the closest contest was for the county judgeship and the final count as announced Sunday gives Judge B. B. Miller, tbe present judge of this court, a total vote in the county of 1,141 and J. C Keesler, Esq., a total of 1,136, a majority of 5 for Miller. Tbe electoral vote is figured out at 57 80-100 for Miller and 51 20-100 for Keesler. This may be changed several points. For sheriff the incumbent, James H. McKenzie, has a majority of 273 over J. S. Hall. This is a larger ma jority than he had two years ago when he defeated the late Sheriff J. Hodge Krider. Mr. A. H. Boyden won the greatest victory of the contest and has & ma jority of between- 600 and 700 over Mr. W. B. Smoot for the State Sen ate. The indications are that W. D. Pethel, of Spencer, and W. D. Cole man, of lower Rowan, have been nom inated for the lower house of the General Assembly. There was only one other candidate for the lower house, George H. Page, of the county. ThiB will give Rowan an entire new Ifclegation in the next Legislature. The Bitter right in Wake. The fight in Wake was Ion and bitter. The ring carried the city of ri'ii .... . ; naieign Dy majorities ranging from 300 to 500, but there was a landslide for the insurgents in the country pre cincts. In the afternoon the impress ioa prevail! that 4h Mass- Mectiflg"' ucuei nai neen detested because Ral eigh had proven so disappointing in its vote. But wnen the news began to come in from the country it was apparent that the rural districts had gone so largely for the Mass Meeting ucaei as to insure its nomination. According to latest reports the re sult in Wake seems to be in doubt. It looks like Sears for Sheriff and Russ for Clerk of Court, both regulars, nave won over the insurgents. The Iredell primary re-nominated L. V. Long, for Senate; Z. V. Turling ton, and N, D. Tomlin, representative, and all other county officers including J. A. Hartness, clerk, without oppo sition. The county is solid for Long tor judge and Caldwell for Congress. A proposition to put county otlicers on salary was defeated. In Mecklenburg W. C. Dead. W. A Grier and W. G. McLaughlin are nominated for the House and H. N, Hiarr for the Senate. Mr. D. B. Smith for solicitor over Mr. Frank M. Shannonhouse by an approximate majority or x votes; Mr. AN. w. Wal lace for sheriff, over Deputy E. O. Johnston by a majority of 415 votes: Mr. James W. Stinson for treasurer over Capt. B. D. Duckworth by a ma jority of 469 votes; and the holding of a second primary next Thursday to determine whether Mr. Charles Cot ton Moore Or Mr. J. A. Russell shall receive the nomination for clerk of court; these are the most important ieatur.es oi Saturday 'r election. - Death of Mr. Jesse Skeen Mt Fleaaant News wan reraivl tutiv tliSi mum. ing of the death of Mr. Jesse Skeen, one or me oldest eilizans or AU.
