States, including Illinois, held
- primaries yesterday, and it has
been many years since so much inter
est in public matters has been shown
by the average citizen, as was revealed
by the size of the vote cast in almost
all of the States.
In Illinois the vote ran hundreds of
thousands above former years, whilo
in Arizona, South Carolina and Wash,
ington the balloting was unusually
heavy. In Louisiana, also, where the
fight against former Governor Jared
Y. Sanders was particularly bitter, the
vote cast was unexpectedly large, and
in Colorado the fighting was spirited
and close.
Dunno and Lowden Nominated
Governor Dunno was renOminatCd by
the Democrats without opposition of
really serious nature, by plurality Of
| $50, 900 votes, while the Republican
nominee, Frank o. LOwdPn, will re
ceive at least that number for his
plurality, if the early figures on the
returns are supported by the later ones.
Representative James r. Mann, Re
| publican house leader, was renominatcd
with little opposition.
The sensati onal feature of the prim-
aries here. however, was the spirited
race run by william Lorimer former
! senator, who staged "comc back -

friends He is according to the late re-
turns lest night, only 1855 votes behind

chance of landing winner at the end
