Minneapolis, June 22.-With Frank
B. Kellogg's nomination as Republican
candidate for the United States SEN
atorship settled, and with Governor
Burnquist's victory, known through the
early returns, the attention of the vot-
ers over the state was directed to the
apparent victory of Thomas Frankson
Of st. Paul over James A. Peterson
of Minneapolis for the Republican
nomination for lieutenant governor;
to Thomas P. Dryers unexpected vic
tory over Samuel D. Works, state in
surance commissioner, as candidate
for the Democratic nomination for gov
ernor, and to the nomination of asso-
ciate justices to the supreme court.
Ernest Lundeen's victory over Con-
gresham George r. Smith Of Mime
apolis also came In for no little at
tention.
keIiogg's Victory 10 Complete.
Mr.. Kellogg's victory was complete.
To his platform Of Americanism and
preparedness, Mr.. Kellogg accredited
his success in polling 59,139 votes out
of 1,944 precincts, against 40.652 for
former Governor Eberhart, 20,911 for
Senator Moses e. Clapp and 20,147 for
Congressman Charles Lindbergh. Mr..
Kellogg modestly disclaimed any cred
it to his own ability as a campaigner.
Lawier Named by Democrats.
Daniel w. Lawler of St. Paul will
be Mr.. Kelloggs opponent at the cleo
ton next fall Mr. Lawler led in the
Democratic returns of 1,421 precincts
out Of 1920 in the state by vote Of
1924 against 1927 for A. J. Davis of
Minneapolis. However, the Republic
an nomination for senator in Mime
sofa always has been equivalent to
election.
From the very beginning of the re-
turns Governor Burnquist led Samuel
G. Iverson so far that there was no
doubt Of the Governors denomination.
Returns show 1902 precincts out of
1920 gave Burnquist 94,793, Iverson
29.661.
Frankson for Lieutenant Governor.
Thomas Frankson of st. Paul led
James A Peterson for the lieutenant
governorship nomination by the Re-
publicans with more than 5000 votes
to spare. MIR. Frankson, with 1902
precincts reported, had 49,300 against
1916 for Peterson, and 27,259 for DR..
]. A. Gates. This lead practically
dominates Mr.. Frankson, 1t was said.
The Democrats staged the real sur
prise of the election in the nomination
Of Thomas P Dwyer, Minneapolis
"boilermaker," for the governorship
Of the state over the candidacy Of
Samuel D. Works, state insurance COM
missioner
The results in 1,421 precincts out
of 1920. showed Dwyer leading with
1878. Mr.. Works has 5,S97 and Cyrus
M. King of Deer River, 6,652.
SchaIIer Out of Running.
Supreme Court Justice Schaller. ap-
pointed by Governor Hammond last fall
to fill out the brief remaining term Of
the late Justice P. E. Brown, has a
heavy lead to overcome, if he is to
remain a candidate for the position
he now holds. Returns from LIPS
precincts out Of 1920 indicated that
he would be out of the running.
Against his 1880 votes were 42,9OS
for w. B. Anderson, 41,517 for District
Judge James H. Quinn. and 1922 for
Kneeland.
Congressman Smith Defeated.
Further evidence of the popularity
of preparedness as a campaign issue
was furnished in a negative way in
the candidacy of Congressman George
r. Smith in the Fifth district. Con-
gresham Smith. who voted against
the McLemore resolution in Congress,
was defeated for the Republican nom-
ination by Ernest Lundeen, who had
$3.50 votes to Mr.. Smiths 1916.
Madison c. Bowler won the Demo
cratic nomination over Frank Plachy.
