Topeka, Aug. 14.-Gov. Stubs is
leading Senator Curtis by more than
1000 in the popular majority in one
half the Kansas counties from which
official returns had been received by
Charles Sessions, secretary of state
There are returns from SO of the
counties received and the total on
these counties gives Stubs 23,3S3
and Curtis 21,366.
Some of the big Curtis counties
like Shawnee, Crawford and -Chero-
kee were not in the list and big
Stubs counties like Wyandotte and
Sedgwick were not included. Most
of the counties counted are small
western Kansas counties which the
governor carried.
The big counties missing are al
most standoff on the votes
so it is impossible to tell yet wheth-

jority. The indications are that he
has. as the figures obtained from II
