NOMINATED FOR CONFESS
Leslie Simpson, the attorney from
Dickinson, was probably nominated
for Congress from the Third district,
altho Blaisdell is considered a close
second. Davis and Devine are like
ly running close for third place
with indications that Norton will be
fifth IN the race. The reports are 80
slow in coming in that about the
only certain feature Of the contest
is that Simpson has without 1ues
ton won out. Mr.. Blaisdell- Is not
saying anything concerning the re-
suit, awaiting more complete returns.

sibly make some difference. We all
