Former Senator William Lorimer
comedies his defeat for the republican
nomination for congress in the Sixth
district. when those precincts on
which he had counted to give him a
lead failed to live up to his expecta-
tions.
Women Fail to Vote.
Less than fourteen per cent Of the
registered women voters of Chicago
balloted in the primary yesterday ac-
cording to returns today. The small
vote cast by women was attributed to
the scarcity Of offices for which they
might vote. More democratic women
than republican went to the polls
There were approximately $4,000 dem
ocratic votes to the $4,000 for repub-
lican women. The total women vote
is expected to reach about 10000.
Colonel Frank o. Lowden won in a
landslide. He captured the republican
nomination for governor yesterday by
"a clear majority estimated at $4,000 to
10000 over his two opponents. State
J Senator Morton D. Hull and Colonel
Frank L. Smith OF Dwight.
1t was the most smashing margin OF
victory ever given in governorshir
primary battle since Illinois went
under the direct primary system. An
idea Of its size may be gained from
the fact that Deneen in 1908 had a
plurality Of 10000 over Yates and in
1912 when eight were in the field
Deneen Won by a plurality Of $4,000
over Small-a plurality, not a ma
jority over all.
Carries Ticket With Him.
With Lowdens triumph, the state
slate backed by the Thompson-Low
den Sherman forces. known as the
Peoria slate" likewise appears to
have Won almost in it's entirety. There
are one or two places on which re-
turns have not come in, and they are
the spots on which the Slate smash
pears to have swept in in the cyclone
Of ballots.

William Lorimer defeated.
James r. Mann, republican leader in
the house, victor about to for re-
nomination over the Rev. Melbourne
P. Boynton.
Medill Mccormick and B. NJ Chi
perfleld, winners Of the republican

William Eliza Williams and Joseph o.
Kostner proboble democratic nomi-
nees.
These We're high spots in yesterdays
battle for congressional nominations.
In Cook county the fight waged fierce
ly ana the incomplete returns at d
late hour left several nominations in
doubt.
Beaten by A. w. Fulton.
.Lorimer's defeat in the Sixth district
was at the hands of Arthur W. Fulton,
former alderman, who had the city
hall-neutral crowd backing as well as
the ex-progressive organization sup
port. Lorimer had been waging a
strenuous tent meeting campaign since
his political come back" announce
ment at meeting of depositors Of the
defunct LaSalle Street Trust and Saw
ings Bank His platform was that he
be allowed to come back" politically
and make good.
Every force the Lundin- Thompson
city hall cohorts could muster was
thrown against Lorimer, despite the
fact that he was their former chieftain.
Probably more money was spent in the
district than in any two others in the
city. sLorimer's lieutenants consisted
mainly Of Joseph Bidwell and Adam
Wolf. followers Of the days Of his
power. tE
Mann Claims 1900 Lead.

campaign manager was claiming VIC
tory by 10000 plurality.
Dunno Wins EARLY.
Governor Edward F. Dunno was re-
nominated by the Illinois democrats at
yesterdays primary with a plurality
which probably will reach $4,000. 1t
was a triumph for the governor and
he accepts /. as sweeping indc.se-
ment of his administration.
From Chicago to Cairo. with only
here and there an exception, 1t was
all the same way. At no point did
the opposition to the governor assume
sufficient proportions to merit serious
