I The primary election yesterday
i was light throughout the state and
returns are coming in slowly.
Enough is known, however, to in
sure the denomination Of Gov.
! Clarke by a plurality vote while Sen
ator Cummins has tremendous
majority, defeating Senator Savage
1 by vote of nearly three to one. Had
the opposition to Gov, Clarke been
united upon one candidate the indi-
cations are that the governor would
have been defeated, but the candid
acy of John w. Rowley took enough
votes from Judge Lee to assure the
nomination of Clarke.
| All of the republican state off cials
were re-nominated by good MAORI
ties and will be reelected. There
was really no fight made upon any
of the candidates for state Office ex-
cept the governor and lieutenant
] governor.

afternoon indicate that Senator
Cummins has about $4,000 majority
over A. c. Savage for United States

buque has the democratic nomina-
ton for U. S. senator over E. T..
Meredith of Des Moines by from
10000 to $1,000 majority. John T.
Hamilton is the democratic nominee
for governor and S. H. Bashor is the
progressive nominee for United
States senator.
