Omaha, April 22.-Colonel Roose-
velt carried Nebraska by big major
mary Of Friday. This was made GER
tain and certainty was added to the
belief that Champ Clark was the Dem
ocratic choice when additional returns
from the election came in. All re-
turns received thus far from approx
imately three-quarters of the total
vote cast show the following results:
Roosevelt, 31,242; Taft, 1862: La Fol
lette, 1o.297; Clark. 14,031; Harmon,
1924: Wilson, $500.
Returns thus far indicate the for
mer president has a majority of the
vote in all Of the six districts Of the
state.
Harmon carried the Second district
by 1,106 votes.
Clark Well In Lead.
Indications are that Champ Clark
has carried the First. Fourth, Fifth
and Sixth districts and will have a
majority of the votes in the state.
Woodrow Wilson has not had ma
jority of the returns received thus
far from any of the six districts.
The Nebraska primary law is in.
definite regarding whether delegates
to the national convention shall be
governed by the votes in their dis.
tricts or by the statewide vote. Each
party has an agreement Of its own 70
garding this feature
The Republican delegates will vote
AZ unit for the candidate who OBJ
tains a majority Of the state vote.
Democratic district delegates will vote
in accordance with the vote Of their
districts. and delegates at large will
vote for the candidate who obtained
a majority Of the entire state vote
Two delegates are elected from each
district and four delegates at large
by each party.
Indications are that former Cover
nor Shallenberger is the Democratic
nominee for senator On the early re.
turns George w. Norris is leading
Senator Norris Brown for the Repub.
lican nomination. Governor Aldrich
apparently has been re-nominated by
q large majority.
