The Primary election held here Tuesday was a timet affair. It is thought
that approxraentty two-thirds of tho
regular vote was all that was polled in
any o£ tho precients. The progressive
vote took a decided slump, while many
democrats voted with the --epublicans.
The voting on Governor will undoubtedly give Osborn a majority while
Martindale follows in the race,* For
Congress Gurrio and Loud ran neck and
neck, the majority being to tbe latter.
Senator Kelley was renominated, but
McDonell, his apponent, make a fine
showing against' him.
With four candidates in the republican fied for Sheriff,  Davjs of  Greenwood township received   a   mujority
while Rowe gave him   a  hard   race
The only office for -which Democrats
had  more   than   one   candidate    was
sheriff.    Sheriff John R. Brown won
the nomination against Graham   and
Stevens.   County Clerk Morrisey, with
two candidates   against  him   won  in
spite  of   their   efforts,   with   a   large
majority.    For   treasurer,   Peter   A
Oman landed tho nomination  against
Clute and Morrison, with Clute following not far behind.   Prosecutor Bowler
again received the nomination against
Guinn, a former occnpent of that office,
with a majority of over one  hundred.
In tho city of Clare vote was very
light,   total    nun-bar    of    republican
ballots cast being 180, democrats 'US and
progressives 8.    For Governor in the
Republican column, Ellis receives  21,
Grosebeck 38, Linton 33, Martindale <50
and Osborn 07.
For Congress, Gurrio receives 30,
Glerum 51 and Loud 70. State Senator,
Kelley gets 101 and McDonell 00, For
State Senator on tho progressive ticket,
Daile*- receives,fi, and Johnston 2, * For,
sherrifi: the republicans has four candidates, Davis getting 80, Rowe 79,
Trumble 12 and Updegraff 55. Opposition against Brown did not amount to
| much, he receiving all the democrat
votes for sheriff excspt 2. County clerk,
republican, MoKenna gets 13, Morrisey
128 and Williams 43, Treasurer, republican, Oman receives 40, Clute 32 and
Morrison 117. The vote on Prosecutor

game against the locals by a score of

for the leaders in tbe Hub circuit,

Clare youngsters showed the visitors
plays that they never had seen or heard
of before. It would nof of been so bad
if the visitors could have secured a few*
runs, but during the nine innings
there was just one man got to the
third sack. Coby, the Indian school;

Shepherd, Mich., Aug. 24.—Shepherd
defeated Mt. Pleasant here today in
the final game in the Hub circuit by a
score of 7 to 5. This results in Shepherd, Mt. Pleasant and Alma having a
triple tie for first place, the first time
in baseball history.
As usual, it was too much Burkhart,
which, combined with hard and timely
slugging of tho home team, defeating
Mt. Pleasant. In tbe first inning
Burkhart was forced to do the rather
unusual stunt of striking out four men
in one inning, one of his fast ones getting away from Wyman on the third
strike. *
Shepherd's big inning was the sixth,
when Manion, the first man up, laid
one against the fence for three sackF.
This was followed by two clean singles
and tbe retiring of Nelson, the Mt.
Pleasant pitcher, to the outfield. Francis was substituted. The next batter
up followed with a clean single, then
came a base on balls, another long single and another base on balls, and
Francis made up his mind that the outfield was the place for him, and Nelson
went back in the box and finally retired
the side.
Mannin and Dennison featured at bat
for Shepherd with three hits each out
of four times up. Caugblin and Boyle
pulled some circus matches in the outfield. Bowen, tbe Mt. Pleasant star
second baseman, played bis usual good
game, robbing the batters of several
sure hits:

Not-with-standing this  Clare  is considered today of having one of the best
