ST. LOUIS, MO- Aug 3.-heturnS
from the Missouri districts where
there were contests, are coming in
slow. Incomplete returns indicate
Thomas M, Bradbury of Jefferson
City, has won the nomination for rail
road commissioner over his four op-
ponents, with j. G. A. Heller running
second. F. A. Weighman, the Repub-
lican, had no contest.
Charles A. Morgan has a big lead
and has undoubtedly been renominat-
ed over w. C. Crane for congress by
the Republicans. j. A. Dougherty,
Democrat appears to have the Demo-
cratic nomination in the Fifteenth
District.
In the Fourteenth the race is close
between C. A. Grove, the present Re
publican congressman, and David w.
Hill, Crewe has probably been renom-
mated.
In the Fifth District Howard F. Lee,
Republican, defeated Kimbell for the
nomination Congressman Borland
was re1ominated by the Democrats.
Congressman Bosher of Savannah.
was renominated, defeating former
Mayor Spratt of st. Joseph for the
Democratic nomination.
The race In the Seventh District be
tween c. w Hamlin and Frank S..
.Hefferman is very close, the result
being in doubt. Holmes Hall of Sc
dalia is the Republican nominee.
Down In Oklahoma.
GUTHRIE, Ok, Aug. with only
scattering returns received from about
fifty-five out of the seventy-six coun-
ties of the state, indications at 10
o'clock last night were favorable to the
nomination of ]. w. McNeal. Repub-
lican, of Guthrie. for governor over
Tom Ferguson, Fields and Jones. Nc
Neal places his majority at about 15,-
600.
Returns of the Democratic vote are
light and indicate close race be-
tween W. H. Murray of Tishomingo
and Lee Cruce of Ardmore for Gov
ernor, with the chances rather favor
ing the latter. His followers claim his
victory by 10000 majority. The vote
of Leslie p Rose of Lawton appears
to be light in a majority of the coun.
ties heard from. State Superintendent
of Public Instruction E. D. Cameron,
who las thorough organization
throughout the state, picked Cruce for
the winner at 10 o'clock. basing his
claims on reports received up to that
time.
In the congressional race there
seems to be little doubt of the renom
ination of B. S. Mcclure In the First
District, Dick Morgan in the second
G. r. Creager in the Third, regular
Republicans, and Charles Carter ir
t--e Fourth and Scott Ferris In til
Fifth, Democrats. Judge Milton Gar
ber, insurgent opponent of MCGUIRE
will probably carry three counties, &C
cording to early returns.
The grandfather clause" the pro
posed constitutional amendment deny
ing the right of suffrage to negroes
seems to have carried by 10000 to 15
900 votes.
