OeuNeT, sept. S.-Edrly returns from
the state indicate a light vote has been
polled
Contests for the Democratic and Re-
publican nomination for governor
seemed to have developed the strong
est vote. The Progressive vote, with
no vital contests on, was lightest. Re-
turns were slow in coming in, and
while attention was devoted to learn
ing the ballot for the more important
offices, the count on others was passed
for the time.
Congressional and legislative con-
tests brought spirited rivalry in many
sections.
Thomas N. Patterson, Democrat, and
Edward P. Costigan, Progressive, were
| nominated for governor by their re-
spectiye parties at the primary cleo
ton Tuexdaq. Samuel d. Nicholson
seems to have won the Republican
running him a close second, according
to incomplete returns. Frank c. Goudy
was third in the Republican guberna-
torial primaries. Patterson defeated
Barnette T. Napier of Glenwood
Springs by an overwhelming majority.
In Denver Nicholsons vote was ex-
tremely heavy; Goudy probably was
second and Carlson third. Throughout
| the state, however, Carlson showed
surprising gains and he may rally
enough strength to endanger Nichol-
Gon's lead.
Returns from 14O precincts in Den
yer were received by 8 o'clock this
morning. Less than half the precincts
of the state had been heard from. AS
a. result the aspect of some of the pri-
mary contests may be changed by the
complete returns.
DR.. Hubert Work of Pueblo appar-
emily has received the Republican
nomination for United States senator.
over l. n. Stevens of Denver.
The contest for justice of the Su-
preme Court in both Republican and
Democratic primaries is close. James
r. Killian, judging from the incom-
plete returns, seems to have a lead
over his Democratic opponents, Judge
George w. Allen and Judge James H.
Teller. though Teller has developed
much strength in the state.
Allen was given a heavy vote by
Denver Democrats and as result the
contest among the three candidates is

In the Republican primaries, how.

John Campbell appears to be the Re
publican nominee. His main strength
came from out of Denver and he ap.
