J. T. Davis, of Blairsville, the "'preacher candidate for Assembly," the Republican, nomination at the primary election yesterday by an overwhelming vote, and his strong lead over the other candidates is regarded as a great -victory, for temperance forces, because his linn stand favoring the ratification of the national prohibition amendment was the issue of his campaign.

The vote in all the districts was far below normal, especially in the country districts. With a heavy margin of votes to spare, State Senator William C.

Sproul's lead over his principal opponent, J. Denny O'Neil, of Pittsburgh, ran ahead of pre-primary estimates.

The minor candidacies of Weimei 1 and Habgood amounted to little. Sproul's victory over O'Neil is by a two-to-one vote. The O'Neil candidacy virtually collapsed and'Sproul carried county after county that the O'Neil people had claimed as certain for their man. The real light of the -Republican primary was over the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor between Senator E. E.
