Aside from Osborn. indications are
that the entire Republican ticket Is

governorship with those received by
the remaining candidates on the Re
publican ticket indicate that approxi-
mately. one-fourth of the Republican
voters OF the state cut Osborn.

be solidly Republican.
The Democrats apparently have re-
tained their present representation OF

district, and Beakes, In the Second,

been defeated by former Congress

societies did very effective work
