St Louis.-The denomination OF
Senator Selden P. Spencer as Repub-
Hcan candidate for United States sen
ator was conceded by the local organ
ization that has been promoting the
candidacy of Dwight F Davis, who,
with Senator Spencer, led the three
man contest.
Returns from through the state are
coming in slowly, but tabulation by
the Globe-Demoerat from approximate
" 1000 precincts, including St Louis,

a tabulation by the Globe Democrat
from approximately 1900 precincts in
the state, including St. Louis, give
Hyde, 71,595: Atkinson, 1882, and
places the rest of the candidates as
follows: E. E. E. McJimsey, Sits;
Frank H. FaTris, rs, 1853, and c. H.
Mayer. 1887.
| John NJ. Atkinson OF St. Louis ap-
! peared to be the Democratic choice,
as he was leading his opponents by
almost 10000 votes. Frank H Farris
Of RoIla, the wet candidate, was sec
ond, closely followed by Judge Charles
H Mayer of St Joseph. The remain

Good majorities to United States
Senator Charles Curtis and the seven
| Republican congressman are to be
figured from returns from over Kan
sas tonight. Governor Henry Allen
and the first teTmers in state offices
are safely by with pluralities ranging
from 25 600 to 10000 with the state
treasurer still in doubt as well as the
congressional contest in the Eighth
district. Early forecasts are borne out
with Richard Hopkins leading Edward
Rooney two to one for attorney gener-
al Frank l. Travis is leading George
Banks four 10 one. Governor Allen
carried every county in the state ex-
cept Crawford Wichita and Topeka
gave George Snow, Aliens opponent,
the largest vote against Allen.
Last returns available on the state
treasurer fight gave E. T. Thompson
a slight lead with Carl White gaining
from rural votes. Charlie Evans is
close enough behind the other two to
still have a chance before the final
count
On the Democratic ticket, the only
contest, that for nomination for COVER
nor. is still in doubt because of the
meager returns.
Jonathan Davis Of Bronson is lead
ing on the returns, with o. T Wood,
Liberal; Dempster Potts, Wichita,
and W. S. Hyatt Of Parsons, following
in the order named.
All Of the Republican congressman
have been nominated, with Lacey
Simpson of Mcpherson a possible win
ner over Judge Richard z. Bird Of
Wichita, in the Eighth district, now
represented by ". A Ayers Of Wichi-
ia, a Democrat Mr.. Ayers was re-
nominated. Other Democrats who
seem to have been named on incom-
plete returns are:
First district, J. A Evans, Valley
Falls; Second, c. a Bowman, Kansas
City; Third, ]. D. burlington, Nc
Cune; Sixth, Miles Mulroy, Hays
