PRIMARY RETURNS
ARE SCATTERING
Close Race Between Dunphy, Todd
and Lister for Democratic Nomi-
nation for Governor.

especially true of the democratic
vote No definite returns have been
made by any of the counties on the
vest side and some of the east side
counties have either given only par
4 tial returns or no returns at all.
From the figures available it APP
pears that Is east side counties have
given Dunphy and Todd each about
4 5000 votes and Lister about $500.
4 The race for the nomination for gov
ernor appears to be between these
4 three and the result will depend upon
the votes which they receive on the
west side. Lister will poll a heavy
4 vote in Pierce county and Todd will
probably have good sized vote in
I King, while Dunphy is likely to poll
4 large second choice vote in both of
these counties The official count
will probably be required to deter
I mine the result.
Governor Hay had walk-over in
his race for denomination and w. l..
4 LaFollette made a great run, having
received over $4,000 votes on the
face of the returns now in to 5000
for Shaefer and 1000 for Ridpath.
LaFollette's democratic opponent is
almost sure to be r. NJ. DrumheIler
Of Dayton, as the returns thus
far received give him 1884 votes to
I 261O for Maloney and 1888 for Tus-
tin.
The republican state ticket will ap-
parently be made up as follows:

collier has probably won the nomina-
uon for lieutenant governor, though
cage of Spokane is crowding him
hard
george e. Ryan and George K
STEPHENSON, for secretary of state
ana state auditor, were unopposed
ana therefore are nominated. The
result of the race for state treasurer

ney general, leads with returns at
aand' but nearly all the returns arc
from the east side, where he is
strongest.
