| $50 voting precincts out of 2,3OO in the

| On the basis of returns received how
ever. Governor B. F. Carroll. stand
pat" Republican. has an indicated ma
iority Of 10000 over Warren c. Garst'
progressive Republican, for the Govern

In the 1st and 7th Congress districts
| the returns are sufficiently heavy ap-
parently to give sound basis to claims
/ of the election of Prouty, progressive
over CONGRESSMAN Hull in the ith'
and Congressman Kennedy. "stand-pat'
over s. w Brookhart in the 1st
While Congressman Smiths support
ers in the 9Th District insist that the
! election is assured, Progressive leaders
FassSrt that the returns in Smiths terri
tory are far too scant to justify the
claim that the progressive candidate
Attorney General Byers has been de-
feated.
The contest between N r. Towner'
| stand pat" and J. H. Darrah. progress
/ lsive. in the Sth District, is in doubt ow-
ing Ito insufficient returns.

warts are fighting against each other in
the respective persons of John II. Dar-
rah and Judge H NJ. TOWne. and In
the 9Th. where Attorney General H. W.
Bvers ran against Congressman Walter
l. SMITH.
Governor Carroll made his campaign on
his state record, ignoring national topics.
