COMPILATION SLOW
These are all the general totals at
hand, the task of compiling the results
proving to be a slow one.
From other figures it is now known
that William D. Kent, opposing Dun
can McKinlay for congress in the Sec
ond district, has a lead of 1142 votes.
The indications are that Kent will win
the nomination, another insurgent VIC
tory.
In the Seventh congressional district
Stephens, the insurgent, is leading
James McLachlan by over 1000 and his
nomination is conceded. In the Fifth
district e. A. Hayes, incumbent but
who was closely associated with the
insurgent movement in congress, is
leading Charles Davidson by nearly
5000 in the vote from San Francisco
and san Jose alone.
Virtually complete returns from San
Francisco gives Edward Rolkin for
member of the state board of eqUaliza-
tion First district, a lead Of nearly
5000 over Joseph Scott, his closest OPP
ponent. For railroad commissioner
Second district, II. D. Loveland has a
lead of more than 5000 in this city over
Edward A. Tingler. For presiding jus
tice of the district court of appeals,
First district, Thomas J. Lennon, I'M
opposed, polled a vote Of 10000.
There is no possibility that a general
idea of the legislative nominees can be
secured tonight. The vote is badly
scattered and the result in many dis
thcts will not be known certainly until
all precincts have been heard from.
