bulle h--lNpeclal Telp-
sram')-Late this evening for the first
time Carroll was conceded nomIna,ea yan
second term by his opponents though a.
seems certain that the governor carnot
nave more than 1000 or 5000 ma ajority. Tha
Carroh committee claims a majority ~
| l1'Voo and that the regulars will control tho
state convention. The latter was aInost
iost slght or but not until the county CON
ventions are held will 1t be known who has
| this control.
| Inc reports on other state officers ware
almost entirely neglected II is ragardoa
as certain that D. j. Palmer is renom,-
mated for railroad commissioner. bnt re-
turns on others are insufficient to indicate
| the result.
1t seems certain that Senator CoSsop
mas led for attorney general with speuker
| Feeley close second
Garrett has the lead for clerk Of the
supreme court, but the superintendent ~
pubic instruction goes into the state con-
vention. 49,
The only consolation the insurrents have
in the whole matter is their success in
defeating Captain ul by large majority
Other Contests Indefinite.
| On the other state contests. nothing dsf,-
mite, even sufficient to make an estimate
on, has been received. There were five
congressional fights in the state this spring
| and indications early this morning are
| that in these fights the stand patters have
| held their own.
In the First district c. A. L5enrod,,,
| stand -patter, defeated Smith Brookhart in
surgent, by plurality of 5000 votes.
surgent, defeated Congressman Hull stand
In the Seventh district s. f. Prouty. in
patter, by a plurality of l. 400
In the Eighth district. meager returns
show Towner. stand-patter, leading over
Darrah by a large majority. His noni
| nation Is generally conceded.
In the Tenth district ConRressnar
| Woods, insurgent won out easily over L. p
ayne' carrying practically every county in
the district.
The ''progressives' are jubilant over the
nomination Of Judge Prouty 1t was Judge
Proutys fourth attempt to defeat Hui
and the formers majority is held 10 Leave
no doubt as to the attitude Of the sev.
erth district on the tariff on which sub-
ject Hull has been consistent regular.
Carroll Forces Confident.
The Register and Leader, with inoom-
plete returns from forty-six couniies a.
oon, figured Garst had a lead OF To- ooo
votes, Last night this paper figured a Ike
majority for Carroll. The Daily CaptaI
today Insisted on an6lysi1 of incomplete
returns from thirty-three counties that
Carroll Is the winner by 10000 or l2 OOo Al
respective headquarters both sides claimed
majorities of 10000 1t can scarcely be
conjectured Just when a definite announce
ment can be made. An official Canvass
it is said, may be necessary before the
candidate can be named with certainty
Claude E. Porter of Centerville apparently
has won the democratic gubernatorial nom
nation.
According to the Daily Capital thirty.
three countless or one-third OF the number
in the state indicate the nomination of
Governor Carroll by a plurality ranging
from 1900 to 1900. The thlrty-three toun
ties heard from, not complete, show thai
Governor Carroll has 1L9s7. while his op.
ponent, Mr.. Garst, has 424e. This gives
Governor Carroll lead in one-third of the
counties Of the state OF lO,72l votes.
Returns from Counties.
one county heard from complete, shows
Governor Carroll made slight gain. Tbis
Is Davis county, his home county. which
gives Carroll 767 and Garst 81, giving The
county to Governor Carroll by ZOO Ciav
county nineteen out of twenty prectnots
give Carroll 693 and Garst $40. The lead og
Garst In Black Hawk county has been cut
to less than 200. In Scott county twenty
five out Of thirty-six precincts show Ga[st
with majority Of 5SG. This indicates thar
Scott county win give Garst a majority
of about 200. Returns from Hancoci
county show Governor Carroll gained 200
over his vote Of two years ago when he
carried the county by over 100. Sioux CITY
complete gives CaToll a majority OF "a
votes The country precincts are expected
to Increase this majority materially. Every
county in the first district gave Carroll
safe maJoritles and indications are that hs
has carried the Third and Second distrlct.
by safe majorites.
Almost complete unofficial returns from
the seventh district give Prouty l,lOO over
tiull. This reversal is decided, as two
years ago Hull was nominated by forty
votes.
Smiths majority in the ninth Is another
surprise, Present returns give him 1000
over Attorney General Byers
