Topeka, Kans., Aug. 3.-With the
regulars conceding the defeat Of
four of six of their candidates for
congressional nominations; with the
insurgents unopposed in two dis.
tricts and claiming the victory in
two others, the progressives today
are jubilant over the clean sweep
they made in yesterdays primary
elections.
Today's returns show the insur-
gents victorious in the second,
fourth, fifth and sixth districts,
where they were opposed by regu-
lars. and in the seventh and eighth,
where they were not opposed. Re
turns from the first and third dis
tricts are not yet complete and both
sides are claiming the nomination.
Governor w. r. Stubbs was re.
nominated and incomplete returns
today indicate that r. j. Hopkins
insurgent, probably was nominated
for lieutenant-governor.
The regulars admit the nomina
ton of Alexander Mitchell, insur
gent, over G. f. Scott, in the second
district; Fred Jackson, insurgent
over ]. M. Miller in the fourth; r
r. Reese, insurgent, over w. A
Calderhead in the fifth and I. B
Young over w. A. Reeder in the
sixth. Murdock, in the eighth, and
Madison in the seventh, both insur
gents, we're unopposed.

lar, made the race for denomination
against T. A. McNeal, insurgent, in
dlcate that the progressives were
victorious. Later returns were In
favor of the regulars and at 10
O'Clock the nomination was in
doubt.
The first district was supposed TO
be strongly regular and the insur-
gents yesterday predicted that the
regulars would win. The strong
showing they made there has greatly
pleased the insurgent leaders.
In the third district, where Con-
gresham P. P. Campbell sought re-
nomination and was opposed by Ar
thur Cranston, insurgent, early re-
turns showed Campbell winner.
Later returns showed lnsurgent
gains.
It is estimated that Governor
Stubbs' plurality is 10000. This,
the insurgents say, represents their
lead over the regulars in the state.
