CURTIS CONFIDENT.
He Claims 75 Districts-Eight Short
of Nomination-34 in Doubt.

With "a of the 165 legislative dis
tricts still in doubt, Senator Curtis at
o'clock this afternoon claimed rs
districts-or eight short of a positive
nomination. He declared that these
would be gained in the counties yet to
report and that he would control 90
districts.
Curtis declared that he had positive
the 40 senatorial districts and that
five of the districts are yet uncertain.
OF the 125 legislative districts, Cur
tbs claims 54 and places 20 in doubt.
He places his popular majority in the
state at 10000 and vows that his re-
ports on the election situation can not
be contradicted in the ultimate re-
turns.
THE list from the Bull Moose head
quarters is either not complete, or my
strength is not shown declared Sen
ator Curtis this afternoon. They do
not give me Allen, Leavenworth,
Brown, Bourbon, Cherokee, Crawford,
Decatur, Doniphan, Elk, Ellsworth,
Finney, Hamilton, Haskell, Marshall.

Lutte and reliable reports that 1 have
carried these counties. 1 have 21 of the
40 senatorial districts, with five in
doubt and I have "a of the 125 1egisla-
tive districts with 29 in doubt That
leaves me eight short of a nomination
and 1 am confident have won and will
have 80 districts
In the progressive report, Curtis is
given Marion county. 1t is not claim
ed on the Curtis list. Should he re-
ceive this county, it will increase mis-
figures to &c districts.

CAPPER'S VICTORY
Topeka Editor Showed Great
Strength in Every County.
His Majority May Mount as
High as 10000.
CONTINUED on Page TwoA

From almost every county in the
state, the primary returns indicate
that Arthur Capper in his candidacy
for the gubernatorial nomination, has
made runaway race and will prObabl
show 10000 plurality over Frank Ryan,
his opponent. Capper'S strength was as
wide as the borders of the state and the
vote which tn. Topekan polled was
practically equal to that given the
Roosevelt electoral candidates.
Early returns last night indicated
that the fight for the Republican NOM
ination for governor was to be a one
sided affair. AS the hours passed and
the returns began to accumulate in the
various party headquarters, the Capper
majority grew. In every cCSnty he out
stripped Stubbs and in many Of the
counties, he led the fight for the tall
vote. Out in the short grass territory
Capper'9 majorities were reported in
many counties as five and ten to one.
Just how large the Capper majority
will attain, is a matter of mere spec
ulation- At the progressive headquart-
ers today all effort to tabulate the To-
pekan'S vote was abandoned and the
work was confined entirely to a care
full watch of the senatorial situation.
1t is probable that Capper has car
ried at least 100 of the los counties in
Kansas. His majority in almost all
of these counties is large and in many
party vote Smaller counties which
polled 800 to 1000 Republican votes in
Tuesdays primaries reported the Cap
per majority at 200 to 400 over Ryan.
In the larger counties the proportion
was not so large, although there was
no uncertainty as to the majorities ex-
cept in a few of the larger counties.

Capper received three votes to Ryan's
one all through this county. In a few
strongholds at Abilene and Herington,
Ryan showed a squirt of strength.

Charles II. Browne
These are the men nominated for
places on the Republican ballot of
next fall as the presidential electors
of that party. It is almost a clean
sweep for the Roosevelt forces in the
state, as nine of the candidates pre-
sented by them were successful. Of
course, there is nothing like a com
plete count as yet, of the primary bal
lots in scarcely any section of the
state. Or, at least, returns from the
counts have not been made. But the
returns that have been made indicate
unquestionably the choice of these
electors by large majorities.
There is still the suit pending be-
fore the United States supreme court
which questions the rights of the
Roosevelt electors to a place on the
regular Republican ballot because of
their avowed determination to cast
their votes for Mr.. Roosevelt in the
electoral college If they get there. But
there are not many who believe that
the supreme court will assume juris-
oiction in the case. The state supreme
court refused to do so on the ground
cal dispute beyond the control of any
existing laws. And it is likely that
the nations supreme court will take
similar position.
If this is done, and unless some
other move is made ~ the Taft forces
in the state, and the Republican party
is successful in the state next fall, it
means that surely eight and possibly
nine of the electors nominated yeSter-
day will vote in thu electoral college
for Colonel Roosevelt.
Mr.. Baker, who was named origin
ally as a Roosevelt clector has since
let it be known that he is of mind
to support the Republican presidential
nominee. Mr. Taft, regardless of his
first stand. But the Roosevelt leaders
in the state are Sanguine that they
can get Mr.. Blaker to reconsider his
latest determination i'll the premises.
Mr.. Charles E. Browne, the other
elector chosen yesterday, has always
been lined up for the support of the
regular Republican / ominee.

The Democratic vote in Topeka was

but Billiard got about all the votes to
be had.

feated. Returns received today at the
Bull Moose headquarters from the
once strong Stubs counties indicate
that the Kansas governor has lost
strength in many of these counties,
but with returns from country pre-
cincts in nearly all of these counties
yet to be received, the Stubbs hope is
high and it is believed that he will
win in the final count.
1t was on the Democratic vote for
governor that one of the biggest sur
prises of the election hit the state.
Returns from most of the larger cities
in the state indicate thai Mayor Bill
lard is leading in the race for the
gubernatorial nomination and has re-
ceiVed majorittes in several of the
counties outside of the congested dis
tricts. Reports from Cloud county
last night stated that he had carried
that county and Rush county also re-
ported a majority for the Topeka
mayor. From Pittsburg, Leav enworth,

the wards of Topeka, the news of the
Billiard strength was Il surprise.
