went strong for Allen, many rural sec
tions going twenty to one for the gov
ernor.
Ninety scattered precincts incom-
plete and unofficial, early today, gave
Allen 9.139 and Snow 1929; Curtis,
1882. and J. A. Edwards, 1,4S5.
Attorney General Hopkins. opposed
by labor and the non-partisan league,
developed two to one lead, seventy
precincts giving Hopkins 1,S08 and
Rooney 9S3.
So light was the democratic vote
that returns early today were not def
mite enough to give any esflmate or
the strength of the four candidates for
the nomination for governor.

was nominated for United States SEN
ator by the democrats without opposi-
ton.
