Tue.sday’s primaries passed off quietly with only a small percen tage of the voters •xercising their right of franchase, and as a re- sesult the county tickets recom mended by both parties were en dorsed without contest. In the town of Seneca Falls, only 196 Republicans and 70 Democrats took the trouble to vote, so it will be seen that the primaries are be com ing an expensive lu x u r y . But little interest was shown, and in Seneca Falls but one surprise was sprung, in the second dis trict, where B. D. Adamy defeat ed William Alman for Republi can committeman by a vote of 27 to 17. The contest was carried on in a quiet manner, and Mr. Adamy's legion of friends will be pleased to have him as a member of the town committee. Minor contests were carried out in sev eral towns, but the regular com-, mitteemen were elected. As a result, William H. Van Cleef, will be the Republican nominee for Member of Assembly, with Harold Troutman of Ovid, as candidate for sheriff, and Dr. F. W. Lester of Seneca Falls, ANNUAL FIELD DAY AT WILLARD.
