by closing time that an exceptionally

There is reaction here since the
storm over the primary election has
subsided. The friends of Senator
Bourne all express sincere regrets at
his defeat, and it is the general opin-
ion that had he come home for 60
days and visited the various parts of
the state where he has secured large
appropriations, he would have been
renominated hands down. There is
also the generally expressed opinion
that Senator Bourne would have been
reelected had he been nominated.
