 Ihe early returns also indicated T sweeping victory for Earle Hodges. candidate for Secretary of State. who had Guy B. Tucker for an opponent. Il Will not be surprising if inc final vote shows Hodges to have lead the ticket.

 N. F. Kirby is nominated for ass5 ciate justice of the supreme court, having had T. D. Crawford for an opponent
 Returns were. slow in coming to the state capitol, but a comparison shows a light vote to have been poll cd throughout the state
 Mingled with the late returns were messages of congratulatfon to Coy Donaghey, who received the expres- sions of confidence with good cheer and expressed some surprise at the favorable reports from counties which had been considered doubtful.

 The Congressional Contests.
 The congressional contests were as spirited as the race for governor, and early returns show that Macon, Floyd Crayens, Jacoway and Goodwin haya been successful unless some mate rial changes are effected by returns from outlying precincts. The results will not be determined to the satis- faction of all until an official report of the votes cast in the each district is made public.
 The returns from the Fifth dis trict indicate clearly that Jacoway has defeated Ludwig and Griffin.
 Returns for Railroad and Ware house commissioner indicate close race between the contestants, the of fieial count being necessary to d. termine the result with any degree of accuracy

Wood has been nominated oye~ Monroe Smith in the Fifteenth dis trict; and returns from Pulaski in dicate the nomination of Frank Pit tard and Lee Miles in the Tenth district.
