What viii Clarke Get?

When Carroll was nominated for gov
ernor first time he had IS. S34 votes and
when he was renominated he had
80. 464 When Clarke was nominated
he had s9,107 votes. What viii it be
when he is renominated? When Car
roll was nominated he had 4l95 less
than his opponents. when rencminated
he had a majority Of 40S4. When
Clarke was nominated he had zoos less
than his opponents. He did better than
Carroll first time, and Will do better
for second time.
When Cummins made the race for
the senate first time there We're 1926
republicans who voted for him. on ms
second trip Il was increased 70 13S.Sic-
When Kenyon ran ne got the votes OF
l24.1S0 republicans II Will pe re-
mem bered. however that when Cum
MINIS received 13S,s4o votes for nomin-
alton il was at a time Of the general
election. SO that probably $4,000 rep
resents the number of his particular
admirers among republicans willing to
go to a primary for him. 1t Is esti-
mated he will gain at least two new
supporters for every one that strays
away because of the bull moose call.
| The Democratic Primary.
| In the first democratic primary oo.oS7
| votes were cast for governor. In the
! second one 47,542 votes were cast fol

| two years ago, $3.50 votes Were cast
! for governor OF these latter 1855
were for Ed Dunn and %, 4o5 for John
| T. Hamilton. There will be much
| larger vote this year.
! One of the features OF the election
returns that 1t will pay to watch is
| that OF the standing OF candidates at
| home II would he a safe bet that Art
| Savage will not carry his own sena-
| torial district in which he has twice
been elected, district with botf
counties normally anti-Cummins. Just
watch the returns and see what Mad
| ison and Adair do to their candidate
against Cummins.
Then watch Van Buren, county and
| see il the home OF the man who claims
TO have discovered the anti platform
is in favor OF Reputation. 1t will no

Watch Lees District.
Incidentally II might pay to watcl

il gave 2,7lo more votes against Clark
than il gave for him. Being agains

on the other hand Dallas count:
can not possibly do as well by Clark
as two years ago owing 20 some loca
combinations 1t gave Clarke 2,i2
against us for his opponents, or l,40
majority. One Of the complication
said TO be annoying Is that Governo
Clarke's son is making the race 10
county attorney. and Of course there
resentment over that fact when Their
is a large field OF candidates. odd
enough the younger Clarke is pitte
against his cousin in the race. But tn
