CAMPBELL WINS
ALSO DAVIDSON
Returns Incomplete but They In
dicate a Safe Lead for
Campbell.
.BEALL DEFEATS STERETT
Fifth District Congressman Returned
by Majority Of Nearly Two to
One = Cousins Wins
Over Alderdice.

With more than one-half of the
vote accounted for, Attorney General
Davidson has a majority of more
than $4,000 over Col Wynne If he
should hold his strength throughout
the returns yet to be received, his
majority would be in excess of 25,-
000 So far as the returns already
received are indicative, there is every
reason to believe that his lead will
increase in proportion as the reports
come in, for the reports printed this
morning show that his strength is
pretty uniform over the state There
is no section of the state in which
he has shown notable weakness, and
one would have difficulty in trying
to support the idea that it was a Sec
tional contest.
The returns SO far received show
that Attorney General Davidson has
carried Dallas, Van Zandt, Coryell,
Smith, Travis, Galveston, Lamar,
Starr, Hidalgo, San Saba, Jefferson,
Wilson, Harris and Bexar counties
certainly, and, probably, in addition,
/ Uvalde, Polk, Taylor, Anderson, Col
orado, Navarro, Eastland and Val
! Verde. The counties which Col.
Wynne seems to have carried be-
! yond doubt are Tarrant, Kaufman
Montague, Duval, Rusk and Nacog-
doches, and the probabilities are
that he has also carried Madison
Grimes, Brazoria, Cass and Bowie
The latest returns give Campbell
a vote of 105,049 and Williams 62,-
023. This indicates that Campbell's
| majority will be in the neighborhood
of $4,000. The count Is still slow
many of the judges having refused
to work Sunday, and it will undoubt-
edly be several days yet before all of
the returns are in.
The most surprising and perhaps
the most notable feature of the re-
turns is that they show a slight ma
jority against thesproposition to sub
init prohibition amendment. The
exact figures are: For submission,
$3.50; against, 60,020. 1t will un-
doubtedly require cry nearly COM
plete returns to make 1t certain what
has been the outcome of this contest.
! Stephens has lead of 5000 over
Barker for controller, they being the
| leaders in the race
Robson for land commissioner
has lead Of 5000 over Stone.
In the contest for superintendent
of public instruction, Cousins has
nearly 10000 more votes than Al
derdice.
Davidson has about $4,000 more
than baltimore in the race for Judge
of the court Of criminal appeals.
For judge of the court of criminal
appeals in the second, for the one
place that was the subject Of contest,
the returns give the following totals:
Dunklin 1o,262, Kirby S,1O2, Cars
we'll 1854.
For the contested judgaship in
the sixth supreme judicial district
the returns give Hodges 6,282, Todd
4,370.
In the congressional races the only
contest that seems to be still in
doubt is that in the second district,
where Mr.. Cooper and Mr.. Dies are
running very close.
In the fourth district Mr.. Randell
seems to have won unquestionably,
and in the fifth district Mr.. Beall
has an overwhelming majority. Mr..
Moore, the incumbent, has a lead of
| about 1,400 in the eighth district,
and as his strength has been pretty
uniform over the district this seems
to make it certain that he has been
renominated.
Congressman Henry in the elev~
enth and Congressman Gillespie in
the twelfth have good leads, as has
Congressman Smith in the sixteenth
district. In the fifteenth district
there seems to have been no real
contest, Mr.. Gamers election hav-
