| Above are the latest and most COM
piete figures at hand on the upper
peninsula vote on senator. governor
and congressman I'm the primary cleo
ton Monday. They embrace returns
from every county in the upper pc
ninsula and include complete returns
Tor several among them Marquette.
Baraga, Keweenaw and Luce and
practically complete returns for all
the big counties, Houghton, Gogeblc,
Delta Menominee. Dickinson and
Chippewa. The missing precincts are
remote country precincts, in which
light votes were polled. The belated
returns will doubtless Increase the
majorities of Osborn, Townsend and
Young, particularly Mr.. Osborn's ma
jority which will probably finally
amount To about $1,000. Consider
ing how light the vote was this is
wonderful showing. The vote was
lighter than most people expected IL
would be, and hardly exceeded $1,000.
Big Vote for Osborn.
Marquette county gave the 500 can
didate, on the available returns,
plurality over Kelley of 3,176. Hough-
ton did little better than this, giving
Osborn 1924 over Kelley. but Hough-
tons vote was larger than Marquette's
SO this county made the best compar-
.ative showing. Chippewa county gave
its home candidate 2,250 over Kelley,
with Kelley and Mussclman polling an
inGigniflcant vote there, 1O2 and 14O,
respectively. Osborn carried all the
counties by good majorities, except Al
ger. Returns now available indicate
by seven votes.
Ross Probably Nominated.
The returns on lieutenant governor
are most incomplete, most OF the cleo
ton officials neglectng to make press
returns on this Office, and the relative
standing of the three candidates can
hardly be known until the county
clerks tabulate the vote. Such re-
hnU
show Ross, the iMhskegon candidate,
to be considerable favorite. and he
will probably get a plurality of some
thousands over Rice, who seems to be
running second. in the upper penin-
sua.
The vote on congressman was con-
siderable lighter than the vote on gov
ernor, as was the vote on senator.
Kerr's Marquette county vote closely
what he looked for. He
figured Marquette county for 1000
votes. He gos over 1,400. The Kerr
upset was in IIoughton county, whore

Townsend Swept tho Peninsula.
Townsend's victory i'm the upper pc
ninsula Is shown by the nearly com
plete returns to have been a most
sweeping one. The Burrows organiza-
lions were bowlcd over i'm all dircc-
lions oy the rush of voters hurrying
TO the booths to get I'm their ballots for
Townsend. His majority north of the
straits Is i'm excess of 1000, and In the
list of counties In tho Townsend col
Imn are no less than twelve, School
,raft, Chippewa, Baraga, Keweenaw,
Luce, Houghton, Gogebic. Delta, Me-
Ontonagon Marquette and
Niger. a thirteenth county is also
ikely to fall into Townsend column.
With three precincts missing Mackinac
county gives Burrows a majority of
,ut three. and IT is likely to be wiped
,ut. Burrows carried Iron county with
"a majority and Dickinson with 9S.
The decisive victory of Townsend
n the upper peninsula was the great
st surprise OF the entire primary and
vas particularly disconcerting to the
Burrows forces. II was foreseen that
he race between Townsend and Bur-
ows would be close. Townsend men
lad claimed the upper peninsula, but
lot many of them believed 1t possible
o defeat Burrows I'm this region.
