With the returns practically complete
in all but three counties in Kansas at
Topeka, Kan, early yesterday, former
senator Charles Curtis, Republican,
appeared to be leading in the race for
the United States senatorship by
about 200 votes over Representative
George A. Medley, Democrat. BY many
il is believed only the official count
would indicate the winner. Late re-
turns indicated the election of the en-
tire Republican state ticket by plurali-
ties of from $1,000 to 10000.
