From Saturday's Daily
The canvassing board, which is
checking up the vote cast at the pri
mary election Tuesday, has been very
busy since yesterday noon when it
started in on its task and the fact
that the voters made free use of the
ballot to write in names has made
the work very slow. There being
no democratic candidates for presi
dent many names were written in
and also throughout other offices
there were names written in. On
the republican state senatorial ticket
there were a large number written
in and also for different state office4.
' Governor Bryan received several
! votes for governor on the republican
1 ticket, the voters evidently recogniz
! ing his worth and desiring to secure
'such a candidate on their ticket.
