Denver. = Incomplete election re-
turns throughout the state, but def
mite enough in Denver to indicate the
trend Of public sentiment, point to the
nomination at the primary election OF
Democratic and Republican tickets
dominated for the larger part by rep
resentatives of the progressive forces.
Governor Shafroth is the Democratic
nominee for the long term in the Unit
ed States Senate. Clyde G. Dawson
has been victorious over Merle D. Vim
cent on the Republican side. while
James H. Brown, a progressive, leads
Charles w. Waterman for the vacancy
term.
Philip B. Stewart leads in the race
for governor over Clifford c. Parks,
Republican assembly nominee. Elias
M. Ammons defeated Joseph H. Mau-
pin as the Democratic nominee.
Edward T. Taylor and William L.
Clayton lead as Democratic congress-
men.at.large, the regular Republican
organization capturing these offices
for Samuel H. Kingsley and Albinus
A. Johnson.
Judge Tully Scott leads in the Dem
ocratic nomination for Supreme Court.
On the Republican ticket Justice John
Campbell is ahead of Rees D. Rees,
progressive.
James B. Pearce, for secretary OF
State; Roady Kenehan, for auditor;
Frederick Farrar. for attorney gener-
al, and Mrs. Inez Johnson Lewis for
superintendent Of public instruction.
have been nominated on the face OF
sparse returns.
BENJAMIN Griffith, present incum-
bent of that office, and one OF the
leaders OF the progressive Republican
party, is ahead for attorney general.
John A. Rush, Democratic nominee
for district attorney, leads H. A. Hicks
and John l. Mullins. John Horne
Chiles has a substantial lead over Ar
chibald Lee, progressive.
In Denter county. Shafroth, on the
face oil incomplete returns, has rolled
up more votes than Adams and Thom-
as O'Donnell combined. Reports from
the state show Shafroth has lest none
of his strength, except that in Pueblo
county, the home Of Adams, he and
O'Donnell were badly defeated.
Governor Shafroth's plurality over
the state will reach 5000 IL the ratio
Of his apparent Denver victory and his
vote as reported outside Of Denver Is
maintained. Adams follows Shafroth,
with O,Donnell third.
Elias M. Afmons received the nom.
ination for governor on the Democrat
ic ticket by vote OF three to one
over Maupin, the Democratic candi-
date. Thomas J. lyman developed sur
prising strength in Denver and
throughout the state, and looks like
the second choice.
Conflicting reports from over the
state place the nomination of the rival
Republican candidates for long term
senator and governor in doubt.
Philip B. Stewart, progressive Re-
publican candidate for governor, has
received 393 votes against 217 for Clif
ford c. Parks, assembly nominee, in
thirty-one precincts, a majority OF
which are in residential districts.
Parks appears, from reports, to have
carried Larimer. Weld and Boulder
counties, and claims majority in the
San Juan and La Plata districts. His
majority in Huerfano county Is $500.
but Stewart claims FL Paso county by
1900, and has heavy majority over
Parks in Montrose, Delta and Mesa
counties. H
Stewart has probably carried Den
yer by 500. Against claim Of $500
majority for Parks, the progressive Re-
publican headquarters assert that
