Returns From Twenty-Sevcn
Precincts in State Indicate
Small Margin Over His
Opponents.
HARDING WILL CARRY
STATE BY OVER 10000
Wray, Nonpartisan Candidate,
Shows Surprising Strength
In State-Holds Own
With Morehead.

The first 27 Nebraska pre-
cincts reporting the result of
Tuesdays election showed the
following:
For president: Harding, A.
ia; Cox, 2,046. \
For governor: McKelvie,
republican, 1858; Morehead,
democrat. 1929; Wray, inde-
pendent, 1,783.
None of these precincts was i'll
Douglas county.
Allowing for the fact that some of
these precincts were in territory
normally republican, the indications
still pointed to a Harding plurality
over Cox of more than $4,000 in
Nebraska.
Mckelvie is running away behind
Harding and Wray, the independent
Nonpartisan league candidate, is
making a much better showing on
the early returns than expected and
better than he is likely to show on
more complete figures. While the re-
turns are too scattering to make
prophecy safe, the likely fact is that
Mckelvic has been reelected by a
safe majority.
