Hughes in this state by plurality of
36.93O.
In the governorship race, exclu-
sive Of the Socialist vote, 535,634
ballots were counted. For the other
state offices the total reached around
100000. In 1916 the variation in
the total vote cast for president and

dicates that the gubernatorial contest
received more attention from the
voters this year. Just about 10 per
cent Of the voters apparently voted
