to predict the nominee for as

Thomas Leading.
For lieutenant governor the indica !
tons are that H. Bascom Thomas is
leading. The other candidates are
splitting the opposition vote and |
Thomas undoubtedly has a great fell f!
lowing among the farmers of the state I
and the middle class of citizens. who |
believe every word he said about the |
members of the legislature was so and !
who really believe that he has been
made a martyr to politics
It is generally conceded that Robin |
son for land commissioner and Sam !
Sparks for state treasurer will be nom /
mated by an overwhelming majority.
Railroad Fight Hot. !
The fight fer railroad commissioner /
IS a warm ore William D. Williams |
for the unexpired term has no OppOsi /
ton, while three are opposing Allison !
Aayfield. Blake and Dashiel are
strong men, but with the vote divided /
between them it is believed that May
field will land in his old job.
For judge of the court of criminal .
appeals the fight is an open one. Fe .
lix 7. McCord is a Campbell appointee
and the enemies of the administration
are making a hard fight to prevent :
him being retained. The votes will have /
TO probably be all in before the winner /
Of that race can be determined.
The July primaries will be held on |
he 23rd, and there is more than a !
month in which TO make a hard cam /
1aign and the indications are that from
now on the oods Will be full Of poll {
les seeking the elusive votes.
