The law further provides that the canvass shall be commenced within 72 hours after all the returns have been received. It is quite probably Mr. Kehoe will commence the canvass on Friday, although if everything is in readiness he may start the work tomorrow. The total vote cast yesterday was about 6,000, with the democrats in the lead. The republicans did not turn out as expected, while the vote of the socialists was small and the progressives did not, it is believed, have more than a total of 175 in the 68 precincts. In several of the precincts the progressives did not receive a single vote. In Divide the returns show that only eight votes were cast out of a total of 31 registered, and of the eight, seven were divided between the two old parties, the socialists receiving one vote. Charles S. Henderson, on the republican ticket, received five votes, and Sheriff Driscoll got one, Davey receiving two. Yellows Win Victory. It was expected that there would be a lively contest between the red and yellow wings of the socialist party, but this failed to materialize and the yellows easily succeeded in nominating the full ticket. At neither the republican nor democratic headquarters today were there approximately complete returns. Among some of the republicans there is a doubt as to who is elected as candidate for sheriff, county attorney and coroner, but the following list of candidates is believed to be as near correct as can be secured until the official count is made: Republicans. State senator—T. A. Grigg. Representatives in the legislature—Peter M. Bonino, John L. Carroll, J. E. Cowperthwaite, Frank W. Haskins, W. J. Helman, J. B. Henderson, Alexander Meagher, John H. Miles, E. J. Rinckel, Lewis A. Smith, W. J. Thomas and Stephen Wright. County commissioner—John M. Barber. County clerk—Paul A. Ozanne. County attorney—John A. Smith. Sheriff—Charles S. Henderson. Treasurer—Joseph Lutey. Assessor—Eugene Thornton. Auditor—W. B. Brinton. Coroner—William Odgers. Superintendent of schools—Frances Brome. Surveyor—Edgar J. Strasburger. Justice of the peace, Silver Bow township—Charles Oke Kelly. Constable, Silver Bow township—Wm. D. McClain. Justice of the peace, South Butte township—Charles Rowe. Among the democrats there is no doubt as to the names of the persons selected for the county offices, but there is a dispute as to two or three members of the legislative ticket. Sheriff Driscoll is [column 5] ahead of his nearest opponent, while Attorney Canning was nominated over County Attorney McCaffery by at least 500 [?] votes. Clerk and Recorder Kehoe is leading Albert Dockstader, his nearest opponent, by about two to one. Harry Gallwey for state senator easily defeated his nearest opponent, Kerr Beadle. The following is a list of the candidates nominated: The Democrats. Senator—Harry Gallwey. Representatives in the legislature—Oliver Choiniere, James Doner, Frank Corr, Louis Donovan, John V. Dwyer, John Egan, Jerry Flanigan, Ralph W. Foltz, W. J. McMahon, James E. McNally, Ben Wilson and Frank Hayes. County commissioner—Otto Simonson. County clerk and recorder—Dave Kehoe. County attorney—Matt Canning. Sheriff—Timothy Driscoll. County treasurer—John J. Harrington. Assessor—P. S. Sullivan. Auditor—R. J. Campana. Coroner—Dan Drew. Superintendent of schools—Grace E.

The last lines of column 4 ("...legislative ticket. Sheriff Driscoll is") are blurred at the foot of the page but secure from context; no line is lost at the join, column 5 beginning "ahead of his nearest opponent". Kept as printed: "It is quite probably Mr. Kehoe", "Sheriff—Harvey A. Smith," with a comma, "Senator—" in the Democratic list against "State senator—" in the others. Line-end hyphenation joined (to-morrow as tomorrow, the paper's style elsewhere in the issue).
