humber as last year. Its applications

unusually numerous. Drew reports
$4,000 in hand for q new dining hall

The Southern Baptist and Chicago
seminartes, one at Louisville and the
other at Chicago, and both drawing

supply OF ministerial timber to be un-
diminished. They hold their own In

Southern Baptist seminary thinks the
supply inadequate, but improving in
quality.

secretary Of state, except for the re-
publican and democratic candidates.
The vote on these candidates follows:

Twenty-seven thousand persons that
voted for president did not vote for
governor. The total vote for president
vas more than $4,000 votes. The
Prohibition vote of 1927 for governor
was approximately 1900 more than TOR
president and enough to entitle the
prohibitYonists to a place on the prim-
airy ballot in two years. Apparently
the prohibitionists and socialists
traded votes on governor and president
as Debs got about 1900 votes more
than McCrillis and Jones got about the
same number more than Chain.
Judge Stevens vote will be close to
$4,000. He ran about 1000 ahead of
the other candidates on the progress
sive ticket. Harry A. Morey, candi-
date for secretary Of state, was next
to Judge Stevens with 10000 votes. 1t
was freely predicted before election
th't if Judge Stevens got 10000 votes
the republican ticket would be defeat
ed. It would be difficult to determine
ho-7 the $1,000 persons that voted for
president only cast their ballots.
Harding led Kenderdine by almost
10000 votes for lieutenant governor,
but his total was $3.50 behind Clarke.
Persons who favor party circle or
lever point to the results this year as
evidence that many people do not care
to express their choice further than
for president
