Grigbys’ plurality .774 |
Contrary to expectations a Such
larger vote was polled in theiBele
gate to congress election on Tuesday
than was expected, consideringll the
fact that neither of the candidates
made any extended campaign and also
on account of the short notice given
for the holding of an election. Many
of the remote precincts could not be
reached by wire and consequently
knew nothing of the election. The
returns to date show 3,500 votes polled
and this number will likely be in
creased another thousand when all the
precincts are heard from. George B.
Grigsby wins over J. L. Jones, his
plurality now being over 700 which
will likely be increased to a thousand.
