The work of the official canvass has
been tied up by the failure OF Cowley
| county, Finney county, Lyon county
| and one or two other counties to make
report on their vote for representa-
| tives and senator's
1t looks as though there was some
| thing wrong with the county clerk of q
county when he is unable to get ir
the returns of primary election fol-
two weeks after the county canvass is
made, but that is exactly the difficulty
which confrOnts the state board
The total vote on governor, all par
ties, was 1912, of which the Republi-
can candidates received 1233O6 the
Democratic 42,S09. the Socialist 231C
and the Prohibitionists 707. The tota
vote of the state on all the candidates
for the various state offices have been
carefully figured out by the clerks in
the office of the secretary of state and
their results will probably be accept
ed without change by the cnnvassine
board. The following are the complete
results on state officers:

One by one the prospective contests
for nomination to the legislature are
fizzling out For a time 1t looked as
though there might be a dozen con-
tests filed. Thus far there have been
none.
Inc latest case TO vanish Is Cndt OF
David Phillips against F. L. Travis
from the Allen Woodson district.
Phillips was beaten by 13 votes. and
thought for a while he would demand
a recount, but he has changed his
mind.
Finney county is slow IN sending in
its returns on the result Of the legisla-
tive contests in the recent primary.
and for that reason the list of candi-
dates for the legislature in Finney
county was incomplete, as printed in
the State Journal Monday.
A letter from Garden City an
nounces that Richard J. Hopkins is
the Republican nominee by about 200
majority.
Ralph Hoskinson is the Democratic
nominee. It Is a peculiar coincidence
that the opposing candidates are the
respective sons of w. r. Hopkins and
the late A. ]. Hoskinson. who for
many years were law partners in
Garden City. The two young men
have grown up together in Ffnney
county, and are close personal friends.
Some day the official returns may
be received from Finney county. and
the nomination of Hopkins and Hos
kinson officially announced.
The Republican congressional COM
mittee of the First district will meet
