BLACK AND TURNER
LEAD FOR SENATOR
MAY REQUIRE OFFICIAL COUNT
TO DETERMINE SEVERAL
CONTESTS.

With the vote for several candi-
dates running SO closely in the incom-
plete unofficial returns received from
all parts Of the state, it appears now
that only the official count will tell
the outcome of the race for supreme
court justice SO far as Judge M. F..
Gose is concerned, Justices Chadwick
and Grow apparently having safe
margin, and for United States senator
in the Democratic ranks, where
George Turner is running little be-
hind Judge w. w. Black of Everett,
though the complete unofficial re-
turns may settle all contests. Albert
Johnson, incumbent, is sure of the
Republican nomination for congress-
from this district, B. L. Hubbell of
kelso has lead on Stanton Warbur-
ton of Tacoma In 65 precincts report
ed for the Progressive nomination,
and Charles Drury of Tacoma is lead
ing in the incomplete returns avail
able, for the Democratic nomination.
Ole Hanson apparently has defeated
Congressman Falconer by big mar
gin for the Progressive nomination
for United States senator.
For Supreme Court Justices.
Nine hundred and ninety-five pre-
cincts in the state, on the supreme
court race, give: Grow 23,917. Chad
wick 32,313, Gose 21,105, Hum
phreys 23.S24, Holcomb 1920, Pre-
BILE 1854, Pemberton 25,527 and
Mills 27.549. Thus Judge Chadwick
is leading the entire ticket and the
returns indicate that he may receive
sufficient votes to elect him, under
the primary law. The others who
appear to be sure OF a nomination
are Grow, Holcomb, Pemberton, Mills
and Humphreys, Judge M. F. Gose
apparently having failed, though
there is strong likelihood than when
all the returns are in from Eastern
Washington. Judge Gose will over
come Humphreys' lead and get 4
place on the ticket.
The race for the Democratic nom
ination for senator Is very close and
it may take the official count to de-
termine whether Turner or Black 10
the nominee, though returns from
scattering precincts throughout the
state indicate that Black is leading
slightly on the total OF first and Sec
ond choice votes. George F. Cotter-
ill headed the ticket in King county
but fell behind In others, except
Thurston, while Judge Black was
given an unexpectedly large vote In
his home county, Snohomish. There
are several Turner strongholds to
hear from, however. which may
bring him the nomination, for he 10
gaining steadily in the reports from
Eastern counties.
The Vote For Senator.
So far as figures are concerned,
943 precincts throughout the state
give Cotterill 1910 firsts and 1918
seconds; Turner $500 frsts and L.
903 seconds; Black 2.720 firsts and
S.201 seconds; Todd 1,728 firsts and
1902 seconds: and Dege 542 frsts
and S55 seconds, making CotterilPs
total 4,888, Turner's 5,592, Blacks
1921, Todd's 2,720 and Dege's
1897.
AS the returns from the Progress
sive primaries come in, Ole Hanson
keeps increasing his lead over Fall
coner and the formers nominations
is assured. Here in this district, B.
L. Hubbell seems to have captured
the Bull Moose nomination for con-
gress. 65 precincts giving him 129 to
Warburton's 96 votes, the same ra-
ito prevailing throughout the dis
trict. Johnson captured the Repub-
lican nomination without difficulty,
221 precincts giving him S.632 to.
3,746 for Wiley, while the Democratic
race is closer, 80 precincts giving
Drury 20S, Cass 1877 and Hazard 105
The Results in This County.

county are concerned, though the

King of Olympia and d. F. Wright
of Shelton are leading for the super
ior judgeship, defeating Judge c. E.
Claypool and Assistant Attorney Gen.
