VOLUME LI. O’NEILL, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 14, 1930. No. 12
THE PRIMARY ELECTION
WAS HELD TUESDAY
Another primary election has pass
ed into history.
The election in Holt county was
quite interesting and filled with many
contests that caused the candidates to
get up on their toes. The Supervisor
contests in the various districts
brought out a fairly good vote; the
sheriff contest also warmed up at
the latter end of the allotted time.
The friends of Senator George W.
Norris gave him a majoriy of 509
over Stebbins. Governor Arthur J.
Weaver piled up a majority of 1065
over Harry O. Palmer of Omaha in
the gubernatorial contest.
The contest for representative in
the sixty-fourth district developed
into a real contest between Ezra
Cooke and C. E. Havens; when the
votes were all in with the exception
of the vote by mail ballots, it was
found that Cooke was in the lead one
vote. Havens has a majority of 3
mail votes, which gives Havens the
nomination by two votes.
Another contest that was real close
was between Harry Cooper and Har
ry Miller for the office of county
treasurer; Miller has a lead of 15
with the mail votes to be counted;
there are not enough democratic mail
votes to change the result.
The contest between L. G. Gillespie
and W. E. Conklin closed with Mr.
Conklin 205 in the lead.
The big fight of the campaign was
between the candidates for sheriff.
There were four contestants on the
republican side, all of whom waged a
hard and sincere fight to win.
County Attorney Julius D. Cronin
was successful in his effort to again
secure the nomination for the office;
his plurality was 560 over H. M. Ut
tley and H. E. Murphy.
The race for supervisor in the
various districts resulted as follows:
First district, republican—J. C.
Stein received a plurality of 65 over
Henry Vequist and Henry Werner;
democrat—Henry Mullen received a
plauality of 3 over his opponents,
August Wabs and D. P. Hynes.
Third district, republican—W. H.
Shaughnesy received a majority of
132 over Andy Clark; democrat: John
Sullivan defeated T. J. Coyne 54
votes.
Fifth district, republican—Rodell
Root received 100 majority over M.
J. Zalt*d. Democrat—Elmer Gibson
defeated B. B. Gribble 73 votes.
Seventh District, republican—F., O.
Hammei'burg defeated his opponents
J. V. Johnson and Gib McCreath 20
votes. Democrat—Hugh L. James re
ceived a majority of 22 over Thomas
Hanrahan.
The official count is being made by
County Clerk E. F. Porter, Harry
Bowen and M. H. McCarthy.
Following is the unofficial totals
of the vote cast in Holt county for

GEORGE W. NORRIS
WINS BY 30,000 MAJORITY
Late returns indicate that Senator
George W. Norris will have a major
ity7 of 30,000 over his opponent, W.
M. Stebbins, of Gothenburg, in the
race for United States Senator when
the votes are all counted. Norris hat*
a lead of 24,507 and 459 out-state
precincts to hear from; a conserva
tive estimate on these precincts will
give the Senator a lead of more than
30,000.
Norris will oppose Hitchcock in the
fall election. The latter defeated Dr.
Jennie Callfas, dry leader and Hoov
er bolter, more than 4 to 1.
The Republican voters gave their
biggest endorsements to Governor
Arthur Weaver who had a 3-to-l
lead over Harry lialmer of Omaha;
Atttorney General C. A. Sorensen
wh# had a two to one lead over Bert
M. Hardenbrook of Ord, and Theo
dore W. Metcalfe of Omaha, who had
a five to one lead over his nearest
opponent in the field for lieutenant
governor.
une oi tne closest races on tne
state ticket was that of Republican
candidates for state auditor, with L.
B. Johnson of Omaha, incumbent, de
feated by George Marsh, former
state audkor.
In the family name contests on
the Republican ticket for secretary
of state and auditor, the Marsh fam
ily was 100 per cent victorious over
the Johnson boys.
Frank Marsh easily defeated his
Johnson in the race for secretary of
state and George Marsh took down
two Johnsons in the race for auditor.
The other Johnson was Fred G., for
mer secretary to Governor Weaver.
The expedition of the Ericsons for
the office of state treasurer probably
was not successful. Dr. T. W. Bass,
of Broken Bow was maintaining a
slender margin over the Ericson who
spells his name without a “k,” with
the Erickson with a “k” in third
place.

SIX GRAIN STACKS BURN
ON SIMON SIMONSON PLACE
Six stacks of oats on the Simonson
place, rented by Fred Eppenbaugh,
about thirteen miles northeast of
O’Neill, burned about ten o’clock this
(Thursday) evening. The opinion of
those who were at the fire is that the
stacks were set on fire; no rain has
fallen in that vicinity since the oats
were stacked, three weeks ago. The
stacks were twenty or more rods
from the fence.
