Curtis Has Small Lead, But

STONE SWEEPS MISSOURI
Majority Of Present Senator WIFE
Probably Reach 15O,0oo-Rob-
ertson Leads in Oklahoma.

turns from 90 Of los counties give
Curtis a lead OF 1858 majority over
Bristow for the Republican nomina-
ton for senator, and Neeley a lead OF
996 over FarreIy for the Democratic
nomination OF the same Office
Two or three big counties favorable
to Curtis in southeastern Kansas are
yet to hear from and his majority in
them viii perhaps Offset the majority
which Bristow gets IN the small coun-
ties Of western Kansas II is most
certain that Curtis viii win by a ma
Jority around $500
On the other hand the small eoun-
ties in western Kansas. yet TO hear
from, are liable TO swell Neeley's ma
jority for the Democratic nomination
TO 1900 over FarreIly.
For the six places on the nOn-par-
tisan ticket for supreme judge, It
seems that the winners are Henry F
Mason, John S. Dawson, E C Little,
John Marshall, George H BuekmaR
and A W. Benson However. the re-
turns are so meager that this list may
be changed in one or two particulars
On the Democratic ticket, the attOT-
ney general, lieutenant governor, in
surance superintendent and irrigation
members are in doubt and nobody
seems to be trying TO get any returns
on those Offices The Democratic
ticket so far settled is:
Looks Like Medley.
Neeley for senator; Hodges for gov
ernOr; Brown for secretary Of state;
CIemans for auditor; Laughlin for
treasurer; Miss Arnold for superin-
tendent of schools; Leftwith for state
printer For congress, Chapman in
the First; Taggart in the Second; Nc
Ginley in the Third: Doolittle in the
Fourth; delivering IN the Fifth; Con
nelly in the Sixth; ShOuse in the Sew
enth. and Ayres in the Eighth
Stone Swept Missouri.
Jefferson City.-Returns from the
primary received here, officially and
otherwise, indicate that United States
Senator Stone has received the Dem
ocratic nomination 10 succeed him
self by approximately 15O, 900 votes in
the lead of his two opponents, Judge
William H Wallace and John NJ Daw-
son There is nothing to indicate that
either Judge Wallace or Mr. Dawson
carried a single county in the state
or that their combined vote in any
county viii equal that cast for Stone.
It is impossible to tell at this time
whether Thomas ]. Atkins OF Polite
EIvins has received the Republican
nomination for United States senator
The indications favor Atkins
For Judge Of the supreme court,
which was the most exciting Of all the
Democratic contests, Judge James t
Blair ran away from his competitors,
Jerry S. RAIDER and Thomas J. De
laney. Blair's lead is placed at any
where between $4,000 and 10000
With the exceptions Of the Eleventh
and Twelfth Congressional districts,
from which very incomplete infOrma-
ton is at hand, all the old Democratic
congressman have been renOminated-
In six Of these districts the Progress
sfves had no candidates and the Re
publicans had none in seven
Robertson Leads in Oklahoma
Oklahoma City-Unoficia returns
from more than half Of the precincts
OF the state from the primary cleo
ton give Judge J. B. A. Robertson
of Chandler the lead over Judge R L
Williams Of Durant, and the other
Democratic candidates for governor.
From returns received to date Judge
Williams and Al Jennings are running
a close race for second place.
T. P. Gore has undoubtedly won the
Democratic nomination for United
States senator by a large majority
over Judge S. ". Hayes Of Chickasha-
The latter practically comedies his de-
feat
For state officers the returns are
not sufficiently definite to show who
are the nominees, but the returns in
dictate now that the following are nom
mated on the Democratic ticket:
W. G. Ashton, state labor commits
sioner; A L. Welch. insurance COM
missioner; Frank Gault, president
state board OF agriculture; a P. Wat
son, corporation commissioner; Ed
Boyle, state mine inspector; E B.
Howard, state auditor; r. H. Wilson,
superintendent Of public instruction
