Minneapolis, March Ex-senator A.
B. Cummins Of Iowa carried the state
easily against Henry D. Estabrook of
New York in the presidential prefer.
ence primary election. William Grant
Webster, the Chicago unknown" is
recorded as receiving a scattering few
votes by those election officials who
counted his ballots at all.
Of the IA Cummins candidates for
delegate-at-large and the four Esta-
brook candidates for the same honor
it is apparent from present returns
that none of the Estabrook men has
won a place. A. o. Eberhart and
Samuel R. Van SAINT, former govern
ors, are high men in the race. Both
are assured of election.
The other two places as delegate-at-
large are believed, from present re-
turns, to lie between Fred C. Stew
ems of st. Paul, A. A. D. Rain of
Minneapolis, ]. F. Jacobson of Madi-
son and James Manahan of ST. Paul
Cummins Men Lead in Fifth.
In the Fifth congressional district
returns from 43 precincts indicate that
Josiah H. Chase, Second ward alder
man, and Ernest Lundeen, defeated
candidate for congress at the last cleo
ton, are named to represent that dis
trict at the Republican convention On
latest returns they have a neat lead
over the rest of the field. Both these
are Cummins men.
Very few returns are in from the
Tenth district, which takes in rural
Hennepin, the Fourth, Third and Tenth
wards of Minneapolis and several
outside counties, and these returns do
not tell a great deal excepting that
Rome G. Brown, Estabrook delegate,
is up near the top. In fact only IL pre-
cincts from the Tenth are in. Fred
B. Wright leads with III, l.. E. Jep-
son second with 1O4, William Henry
Eustis with 101, Mr.. Brown with 100,
l.. Bintliff, another Estabrook man,
with "a and Henry Rines with "a.
Hoist has but sc.
Lynch Men victors.
Returns to date indicate that the
Democrats who pay allegiance to Fred
b. Lynch have captured majority of
the Democratic delegates. Woodrow
Wilson was the only presidential can
didate of the Democrats.
Daniel w. Lawler, Lynch man, is
leading the Democratic candidates for
delegate-at-large in the city and is
running well in the country B. F..
Nelson, another Lynch man, is second
In 81 precincts here Mr. LAWYER is
credited with LOIS, Nelson with $50,
Cyrus King of Deer River, anti-Lynch,
with 7S5, Weiss of Duluth, Lynch man
with 672, Austin, Minneapolis, anti
Lynch, with 1858; Just, southern Min
nesota Lynch man. with 1884, Reiter,
anti-Lynch with 632 and Vessel, anti
Lynch, with 562.
1t is believed while these returns
in the city show the race to be rather
close, that the Lynch ticket will grab
majority of the delegates-at-large
In the Fifth district there is every
indication that Fred Wheaton and E.
J. Corroy, both Lynch men, are vic
