Judge John K. Shields was nomina
ted to succeed himself in the u. S
Senate over Gov. Tom c. Rye by
ABOUT $4,000 votes.
Judge Albert H. Roberts, former
chancellor from this division, won the
nomination for governor over Austin

235 votes, hropshire 8. Peay ID, in
the guberl atorial race, making the
vote for Judge Roberts little more
than ten to one over the total vote of
his opponents. At that the democratic
vote for the county was very light as

500 Had the vote come out as ex-
pected the majority for Judge Roberts
would have continued In about the
same relative proportion.

ination for state senator from this
district.

252 votes. HIS name need not have

formally declared the nominee with

for tloater from this district and will
have to face Hon. L. c. Norvell, re-
publican, In the coming election. Mr..

some majority and there seeems little
1oubt that he will win again this time.
