GREEN RIDGE. Saturday afternoon's primary elec tion In the Second ward was the most lively over known In North Scranton Republican politics. Tho election was conducted uadr.r the Crawford county system, a flag ticket being used, on which appeared the names of all the candidates, with squares opposite each In which to make tho mark Indicating the voter's choice. The system worked well, and there was no friction whatever In tho rapid handling of the big vote. In tho five districts there was a total poll of 7fl7 votes for alderman, for which ofllce there were four candidate. There was no contest over tho district election ofll cers, and tho men placed on tho ticket for Judges of election, Inspectors of election, and registers of voters were given practically tho unnnlmous vote of tho electors of the district they will serve If elected In February. The warmest part of the caucus was In the tight for tho aldermanlc nomi nation. Ah expected, the battle was between the present alderman, Otto D. Myers, who is serving the unexpired term due to the reslsnatlon of Alder man Roberts, and John B. Owens. Everywhere they had hard workers out In their behalf, and carriages were on the constant go bringing voters to the polls, who under ordinary circum stances let the primaries go by default. The result of the efforts In this direc tion Is plain In the heavy vote cast. There was also great Interest In the fight for common councilman, but tho result shows that Morris V. Morris, the present incumbent, ran far ahead and Is an easy winner, almost doubling tho vote which was given for his opponents, Joseph T. Powell and Renjamln S. Rob inson. Tho closest contest on the ward ticket, however, was between I,yrnncls J. Olver, of the Green Ridge side of tho ward, and Thomas J. Owynne, of tho hill section, for school controller. For this ofllce 658 votes were cast. Mr. Olver winning out by a lead over Mr. Gwynno of twenty-six votes.

Cigars were passed by the successful candidates, and brief re marks, thanking the voters for tho con fidence shown In them, were made by Messrs. Morris, Myers and Olver. Mr. Owens, who was defeated for tho nomination for alderman, was not pres ent, and It was afterwards announced In places, where a number of Republi cans had gathered that he would stand as an Independent candidate for the ofllce. If this determination Is con tinued in It will be contrary to the de cision of a meeting of all the candi dates on Dec. 1, when a resolution was ndopted providing that all should sup port tho ticket nominated. That It will create much Ill-feeling was evidenced when the announcement of Mr. Owens was given out late Saturday night. The position of Mr. Owens Is alleged to be based on the claim that there were frauds In the Fifth dlstiict. and that the vigilance committee allowed many not Repub'lcans to vote. If this claim holds good, and tho vote of tho district be thrown out. as provided for In the rules. It would In no manner affect the result of the caucus, and the nominees would stand as the result al ready Indicated. TOLD IN BRIEF.
