REAL "HOSS" RACE

tCOutinued from rage One;
Bourbon county seemingly has ic1nched
the Democrat subernato.iaI nomina-
ton. He is leading o. T. Wood, United
States marshal, by slightly less than
1000. Dempster' o. Potts. of Wichita,
is third. while W. S. Hyatt. of Par
sons, is a bad fourth
This afternoon Wood conceded his
defeat. He sent congratulatory tele-
gram to Davis.
Congressman James Strong of the
Fifth district. made a great squirt after
discouraging early returns. He will
defeat Marshall by 1900. All other
mated.
Bird Beats Simpson.
Down in the Eighth district Richard
E. Bird, of Wichita, has beaten Lacey
NJ. Simpson. of Mcpherson county, for
the privilege of opposing Congress-
man W. A. Ayres, Democrat, in No
vember. Birds Purity is 500. Simp
son carried Harvey and Mcpherson
counties. Bird won in Sedgwick and
Sumner. while Darcy Dunno, third
in the race. received a plurality of 81
in Butler county.
It was rough sea which the state
senatorial candidates seeking renomi-
nation rode in Tuesdays primary.
Senators School, Getty Montee
Thompson, Gulick and Walter e Will
son all went down to defeat in their
home districts.
Total Vote to Exceed 100000
Total vote of the primary may go
slightly above 100000. The Republi-
can vote is expected to reach 100, 900.
It was previously estimated at 49,
600. The Democrats will probably
register the smallest vote in the his
tory OF the Kansas statewide primary.
The bars were let down and minority
party members made the returns ap-
pear ridiculous by aiding in making
majority party nominations. There
were few challenges. So far as known
there were no arrests, as the law re-
quires neither party registration nor
oaths by challenged voters to support
| party nominees.
