Chicago, Aug. 10-Such returns as
were available early today. in addition
to those obtained last night, confirmed
the republican nomination Of Deneen
for governor and give republican en-
dorsement for United States senator
to Hopkins. From the figures at hand.
which, however. are incomplete, the
majority vote OF Deneen over Yates,
Is probably not far from 1900 to 15,-
900. The vote for senator shows Hop
kins has about $4,000 plurality over
Fsoss, but it is not certain this estimate
will hold. Returns from some coun-
ties may reduce the Hopkins lead ma
terially. It is however, considered GER
tain by the politicians khat Hopkins
will receive strong plurality in the
popular vote. It Is certain Foss will
carry the fight into the next legisla-
ture and warm contest will ensue
when that body meets next winter.
Foss and his managers claim he has
carried q majority OF the senatorial
districts, that the chief strength Of the
Hopkins vote, particularly in Chicago.
has been the democratic wards. 1t is
claimed the vote in the senatorial dis
tricts should be binding on the mem-
bers Of the legislature and, therefore.
Foss and his friends argue, even If de-
feated on the popular vote, he will
have majority Of the legislature un-
der instructions to him. Hopkins
managers deride this claim and assert
the vote Of the state at large is the
only thing that carries with it party
endorsement.
Returns today indicate Ogiesby hds
been nominated for lieutenant gov
ernor on the republican ticket, and
that Pickering has been chosen by the
democrats as their candidate for clerk
of the supreme court. These were
the only offices on which the result
last night was III doubt. Returns from
the county precincts continue to come
in slowly and definite figures are most
difficult to obtain on many votes, par
ticularly those OF, the democratic tick
ct. Because Of the general interest felt
dn the bitter struggle for the republi-
can gubernatoriel nomination, and for
the republica.. ndorsement for sena-.
tor, the election Judges generally
have counted the votes Of that party
tirst Enough figures are obtainable,
however, to show that Strfnger has
received als Overwhelming plurality for
the democratic endorsement for sena-
tor and that former Vice President
Adlai e. Stevenson has been nomin-
ated for governor. The republicans
thruout the state seem to have turned
out to vote at the primary election in
greater force than the democrats. This
generally is attributed to the interest
telt in the republican contests.
Governor Deneen In Springfield de-
clined to make statement regard
Ing the result OF the primaries further
rbllan to say he was gratifed to learn
that he would have a majority in the
state outside o.: his home county as
well as in Chicago.
While Deneen has won this excep-
tionally bitter contest his enemies are
not thru with him. Probably it is true
that there Is more talking being done
Just now than there will be acting
later. But at the same time it Is
fact that the war against Deneen is
q war Of determination. 1t is not one
which will stop within party lines.
MANY Of the most powerful of the gov
ernor's political opponents would pre-
Ter vastly to have a democrat dn the
executive office at Springfield rather
than to have four more years OF
Charles s. Deneen.
Would Like Democrats to Win.
These men are particularly encour-
aged by the nomination Of Adlai Stew
enson as the democratic candidate for
governor. They believe that he with
the support which the rabid anti-De-
neen men can give him will have a
good lighting chance to carry Illinois.
In this belief they are reckoning
without consideration Of the fact that
the state outside of Chicago is built on
different political lines from that por-
ton within the corporate limits Of its
largest city. Down-state republicans
are not likely to carry the bitterness
OF primary fight into an election.
