Dunne's Minority.

The democratic contest for COVER
nor offered more opportunity for
conjecture at midnight. Dunno mad
AN Indicated majority of $1,000 in
Cook county, but Alchuler, his near
est competitor, appeared to be run
hing SO we'll in the state that a con-
~servative estimate of DUNES ma
1ority is 10000 to 10000 in the
state,
Congressional returns were delay
ed and authoritive estimates were
impossible. Cook county voters ap-
peared to favor b. M. Chippcricld
and William u. Mason for the repuh-
lican nomination for congressman
at large, and Laurence Stringer and
either JapIes p. Brennan or William
b. Williams for the democratic nom
;inatlon.
In the Enemy's Country.
Chicago voters voted two to one
against woman suffrage in the pri-
maries. The question was not on bal
lots outside of this city.
Woman suffrage was defeated In
the Cook County primary by a vote
oil 10000 to $4,000, with two-thirds
|of the precincts heard from.
Roosevelt's victory was not a re-
|spector of territory. He carried the
home ward OF. Congressman McKin-
ley, Taft's campaign manager, at
|Champaign; he was also successful
IN the seventeenth. congressional dis
|trict, where Col. Frank l.. Smith, the
Taft state manager lives, and in
Speaker Joseph G.. Cannon's home,
Danville, Roosevelt polled 1,S44 to
1927.
Senator Robert NJ. LaTollette OF
Wisconsin polled u small vote. In
Cook county, where he had spoken,
the Wisconsin senator had a vote of
.l4.440, where R%oosevelt's apparent
vote was SG,144, and that of Taft
90, 064.
While Col. Rooseyclt's lead in
Cook county was the basis, of eight
TO five over Taft, reports from out
in the state Indicated that he ran
stronger there, in places as high as
five to one, bringing the estimated
cyerage to five to two.
Champ Clark's candidacy met just
the opposite ratios. In Chicago his
apparent majority, based on more
than three-fourths Of the total nun
Der Of precincts, was about sc, 900,
or on a proportion Of about four to
ono for Wilson. In the state pre-
cincts his lead was about in a pro-
portion Of eight TO five, bringing the
general proportion as Indicated in
tho returns at midnight, as about
two TO one.

Q dthc result of the Illinois primaries
