McSWEENEY WINS.
Majority Reported Nearly
Eight Thousand.
Returns Incomplete, But Missing
Precincts Will Not Make Change.

The following summary of the re-
turns received in Columbia last night
ls taken from the State of this date /:
The second State primary election
has been held and the returns have
come in more completely than on any
preceding occasion of the kind. The
returns received by the State this
morning account for a total vote of
upwards of $4,000. There will
hardly be from 10000 to 10000 more
votes to be reported. The returns
were sent in promptly from most of
the counties, and by l o'clock prac-
tically everything that was received
was in. 1t was rather difficult un.
dertaking to get the returns in
shipshape 80 that they could be given
to the public this morning.
AS result of the election Gov
McSweeney continues in the Office
of governor for the next two years.
He has received 34,92l votes against
27,4l2 for Col Hoyt, his majority
being 1900.
In the race for lieutenant governor
Col Sloan has been beaten by Col.
Tillman, the formers vote being
2S,09O against the iatter's 33, ,974, the
majority being 1914 on present
figures
For railroad commissioner the vote
was 33,sSO for Wharton and 1854
for Evans, the majority being 6,236.
Chairman Evans is undoubtedly
beaten.
IN the Sixth congressional district
Congressman Norton has been
badly beaten by Lieut. Gov Scarbor.

The election seems to have passed d
