CHICAGO, April 14.-Illinois wants
Lowden.
Practically complete returns from
yesterdays preferential primaries in
Illinois early today showed Governor
Frank o. Lowden leading General
Wood by 66,731 votes as the repub-
lican choice for president. Returns
were awaited from 1888 downstate
precincts expected to run the gov
errors plurality to $4,000 or more.
The democratic situation was mud
died. With no names printed ON the
ballots, a great variety of names
was written in-some palpable
tjcshess on neighbors. and some seri
ously intended. All democratic eli
gibles were honored with written-in
votes, but fluctuations failed early to.
day to indicate favorite.
There. were two features to keep
Governor Lowdens walkaway from
making it a dull election.
One was General Woods victory in
Cook county, where the officer took
105,S77 votes to Lowden's 1894.
The other was the great written-in
vote rendered Hiram Johnson.
In Cook county Johnson thus
polled 40,SS1 votes. Returns from
down state showed the senator had
many followers there also, but fig
ures on his showing were not com.
plete. One candidate for delegate
from Chicago pledged to Johnson was
elected. He was the only out-and-out
candidate for Johnson. ...
On the basis Of the preferential
vote, not absolutely binding, Lowden
would take thirty-five of the fifty
Illinois delegates elected yesterday
to the national convention. Some OF
these were pledged to the governor
Wood had none pledged. but carried
the districts from which fourteen
were elected. Johnson took the other.
Eight more will be chosen by the
state convention.
In, Chicago. Mayor William Hale
was decisively victorious
in a. fight for ward committeeman,
taking thirty-four Of thirty-five wards.
The mayors position in the party
was strengthened greatly by the cleo
ton.
Outside Cook county the vote was
lighter than anticipated, spring plow-
ing having a preference over voting.
The woman's vote was light, also.
In Cook county (Chicago) the fol-
lowing written in votes were cast:
Harding, 1885, Hoover. 416. On the
ticket Governor Edwards
received 172 votes.
General Wood was enroute to CHI
cago today from the east. Governor
Lowden was campaigning in Kansas.
Precincts from which returns were
missing were SLOW to supply the fig
ures today. They were all downstate
precincts, which were expected to
yield pluralities for Lowden at the
average OF thirty-three to The pre-.
cinct
In $3.50 precincts OF the states
5 $50, the vote was recorded:
Wood. 158.40S.
Lowden, 22c,9S2.
Of these totals, Wood obtained
105. 4OS of his votes in Cook county.
Senator Johnson's name was writ
ten in many downstate ballots, but
election officials ignored the written
names temporarily in their anxiety
Eu get the Wood and Lowden totals.
