have been reported on the primary
election. which can hardly be half of
the entire vote cast at this election.
The results do not show any material
change In the relative order of things
with the exception that a mistake Of
1000 on Judge Rose from Douglas
county takes him out of first place on
the republican ticket and makes him
third.
On the democratic ticket Judge
Dean leads, with Oldham second less
than 100 votes ahead OF stark. All
three OF these candidates are more
than 1,20O ahead Of Albert. fourth In
the race. West and Everson must not
be considered as possibilities. These
results are from 5Gl precincts Of the
state.
On the republican ticket Letton
leads for Judge. with Hamer and Rose
running closely together as the other
two high men.
The latest figures obtainable from re,
ports now In give these results.
For supreme Judge, republican, rep
resenting 43l precincts out OF 1,640
precincts In the state: MacFarland
S.977, Hamer 12.Sli. Letton 1857.
Erperson and Mr.. Davidson are hope.
lessly behind unless when the far
west comes in 1t helps the former.
On the democratic ticket for su;
preme Judge 3i2 precincts give the
following results: Albert 1863. Dean
9,063. Everson $685.. Oldham S.S7S,
Stark $500, West 6,l72. In this case
Mr.. West and Mr.. Everson have
dropped so far in the rear that unless
they develop extraordinary strength In
other sections Of the state than In
those reporting they have no chance
OF nomination.
On the republican ticket for railway
commissioner. where there were six
candidates, the following totals are
from 35l precincts OF the state: Beebe
4,954. Eager 4.245. Hall $500. LANCER
2,l09, McGrew 1856, Russell 3,527.
LANCER Is the only one of this group
out of the running. Beebe received SO
strong vote In Douglas county that
he Is we'll up with Hall. but II the lat
ter maintains his strength In the coun
try precincts he will draw away from
the Polk county attorney.
On the democratic ticket for the
same Office Harman leads by 1850
votes over Furse. the only other can
didate who Is making a substantial
race. Harman has twice as many
votes as either OF the lowest two OH
the ticket. These results are from 56l
precincts.
For regent on the democratic TICKET
the following totals are secured from
321 precincts. Anderson 1859, KnarT
4,4SO, Kotouc 1905, Miller 5,915
Kotouc has not developed the strength
expected from those southeast sections
heard from, and bids fair under pres
ent conditions to be final loser. Be
cause OF meager returns concerning
MIR. Anderson 1t is not known whether
no will run higher than G. 7. KNAPP
or not.
On regent OF the university Miller
leads. with Knapp 1900 behind him
Both these candidates will probably bt
nominated.
