years In the presidential primary. the
Democratic vote was the largest ever
cast by the party In nominating con-
test. The intense feeling shown In the
factional Democratic vote evidently
served to keep Democrats in their
own primaries for once, and the indi-
cations are that more than $4,000 vot-
ed Democratic tickets, while the Re.
publican vote Is not likely to show
over $4,000, less than half the usual

makes the official count of the ballots,
there will be doubt about fourth place

parties. On the Republican side. A.
o. Eberhart, 8. r. Van SAINT and J. r.
Jacobson are unquestionably winners.
James Manahan, who forged ahead of
Fred G. Stevens on Thursday and Fri
day figures, was passed later by o. J.

found in the compilations. Another
set OF figures. made by Julius A.

office OF the secretary of state, shows
Manahan, but with st. Louis county
not included. which will help Larson.
Austin Pressed by Weiss.
On the Democratic ticket. Dan w
Lawler, C.. M. King and b. +. Nelson

fourth place. but Is closely pressed by
A. G. Weiss, and the complete count
