Close Race of Republican Can
didates for Senate in Indi-
ana-Returns Incomplete.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, March s.
tive James E. Watson were running
neck and neck in the race for the re-
publican nomination for United States
senator. according to returns received
today from yesterdays primary. With
unofficial returns from 900 out Of the
3.1Il precincts in the state the stand
ing was: New. 1910, and Watson.
31,217. with Arthur r. Robinson run
ming third with 7,947 votes.
James =. Goodrich had good lead
over his opponents, Warren T. McCray
and Quincy A. Myers, in the race for
the republican gubernatorial nomina-
ton when unofficial returns from Loss
precincts in the state had been tabulat-
ed. The standing then was: Goodrich,
$1,000; McCray. 21,35s Myers, 1887.
Law Requires Majority Vote.
The law provides that the candidate re-
ceiving the nomination shall have a
majority of all the votes cast for the
candidates for the nomination which
he seeks.
John \. NJ Adair, representative in
Congress from the eighth district. is
conceded by many leaders to have won
the democratic nomination for gov
ernor over Leonard b. Clore. With
only $50 precincts in, he was leading
with vote of 22,763 to Chores $3.50.
Democratic returns are slower in com
ing in because of the fact that the
election inspectors in many cases We're
republicans and opened the republican
ballot boxes first.
Returns on Congress Incomplete.
Returns en- congressional candidates
are too incomplete to give anything
like definite results.
The outpouring of republicans at
the polls was surprise. In number
of precincts in various parts OF the
state the voting had to be suspended
for a time while more republican bal
lots were printed: The progressive
vote was very light and the lack or
contests resulted in the democrats not
displaying their full strength.
1t was estimated that about 50 per
| cent of the total vote in the state was
| cast.

The Needed Margin
GONE idea Of what the Red sox may
Dhave to accomplish on this last home
stay can be gathered in from the following
figures:
On the last western trip Carrigan's club
won IL out Of Is games from the four
western clubs. Yet during this same spell
the Browns picked UP FIVE games on the
leaders by winning is out Of 20 from New
York. Philadelphia, Washington and Boston.
The Red soG can hardly do better than
TO travel at a .ss7 clip against four such
clubs in September. Hence It may be that
Carrigan will need a fvs-game margin when
he starts west again. for while he Is bat
ting with four strong clubs his leading
opponents will be cleaning up entire series
from a much softer and more abject oppo-
sttiou
