BOYLE SECURES BIG LEAD
IN RACE FOR NOMINATION
Mrs. Rose Malone Defeats Clyde
johnson by Good
Margin
In general it may be said of the

few surprises developed, although
there were some contests closer
than it was generally thought they
would be.
Before noon yesterday it became
evident that Myrtle was showed un-
der for sheriff and final returns
from all precincts in the county,
with the exception of Fish Lake and
Ida, show that ingalls, led the dem
ocratic ticket with an even 500
votes against Myrtle's 254.
Robertson is leading Ruhl by SO
for the democratic nomination for
clerk and treasurer, Roberson's to-
tai being 43S and Ruhl's 402.
Mrs. Rose Malone secured the
nomination for auditor and recorder
over Clyde Johnson, ALB to 1888.
1t is estimated 22 votes were cast
in Fish Lake and 16 in Ida, max
ing a total of 38 votes still to be
heard from.
Roger Foley secured the nomina-
ton for district attorney over Ed
wards, 1872 to 361.
A contest in which no one would
venture to predict a winner before
yesterday is still in that condition.
DR.. J.. V. Ducey and Marvin Arnold
are tied with 36S each for the state
senate. Stoller secured 1877 votes.
1t remains for returns from Ida
and Fish Lake to determine the
winner in this hot race. Precinct
No. 2, the last by a long time to
complete counting, CAV Arnold
129 against 1O4 for Ducey and
tied them in the contest.
For county commissioner, AL
Mills was nominated with 225 and
Dellinger and Arm secured 1872 and
1913 respectively.
Second highest on the democrat
ic ticket was Rod Armstrong, candi-
date for nomination for the assem-
bly,, who polled 526 votes. Harry
Ernest and A. j. Twilegar also were
nominated for the assembly, the
fourth highest man being John w.
Crane, who ran As behind Twilegar.
For justice of the peace, Bradley
was highest with 297, Brown second
with 2G4 and Huggard last with
POI.
The last returns from contests for
state offices, received shortly after
midnight, were incomplete from all
counties and contained only light
returns from Lincoln and White
Pine. These returns gave Lamb
1880, Roberts 1884, Kearney 1868,
eddie 1771, Bartine ESQ, Evans
2617, Finch 141O, Boyle 2495, Luce
266, Pickett 1850, Thatcher 1924,
Cole 1859, Mrs. Wildes 23S9, Deadly
1902, Dunn 1882, Fowler 272O and
Mcknight 2OS9.
The general trend of the state re-
turns changed little during the
night, except that Oddie passed
Kearney late in the night and
George Cole was shown to be rapid
ly gaining a lead on Mrs. Wildes
for state controller.
The returns indicated that Boyle
would be nominated for governor
by a big majority.
Incomplete returns from all coun-
ties, with a small vote in White
Pine reported, Washoe 95 per cent
complete and other counties par
tial, give Lamb 1892, Roberts 1892,

Thatcher 1876, Cole 1921, Wildes

Ter 1859, Mcknight 1852. Boyle
