st. Louis, Mo-, Aug. 2.-(By
Associated Press. - James A.
Reed, senior senator from Mis-
souri,, is leading Breckenridge
Long, third assistant secretary of
state In the Wilson cabinet in the
race for the Missouri democratic
senatorial nomination.
The Reed-Long race over
shadowed all other issues in the
primary campaign. The senator
was bitterly assailed by followers
of Woodrow Wilson, by those who
objected to his war stand, by
friends of the league of nations,
prohibition, suffrage and federal
maternity bills, by women's organ
izations and by those democrats of
Missouri who assisted in reading
him out Of the party in 1920 when
the action of his home district in
electing him a delegate to the ma
tionaI convention at San Francis
co was twice Overruled.
On the republican side in the
senatorial nomination, r. r.
Brewster of Kansas City, who car
ried the endorsement of the ''old
guard" republicans as well as that
of Governor Hyde's administra-
tion, and William Sacks were re-
ceiving most votes, with Sacks
leading as a result of strong sup
port In st. Louis for his light
wine and beer platform.
With the interest in the sena-
torial contests, particularly that
between Reed and Long, oyershad-
owing everything else, the count
on other offices was slow. In
complete unofficial returns, how
ever, indicated that IA of the pres
ent congressman, 13 of them re-
publicans and one a democrat,
have been renominated. Most OF
them had no opposition.

sentative W. W. Rucker. demo-
crat. is running behind Ralph F.

where Representative Samuel A
Shelton, republican was not
candidate for reelection, Phil A

All four of the women candi-
dates for congress apparently
have been defeated, although re-
Iurns from the eleventh district,
where two women we're in the re-
publican race, and the twelfth,
where one woman was demo-

ALL CHARGES
FALLING FLAT
IN RECOUNT
Becoming Apparent That
Election Contest Only
Bit of Political Horse
Play For Klansmen.

That the primary election con-
test instituted by r. r. Coster in
behalf of Charles Hall, defeated
Ku Klux klandadate for the re-
publican gubernatorial nomina-
tion, against Ben w. Olcott is
nothing but bit of political horse
play for public effect and the pur+
pose Of bleeding Oregon klansmen
for money with which to finance a
hopeless battle by khan lawyers is
becoming daily more evident.
The contest was instituted un-
der the provisions Of the corrupt
practices act, by the terms of
which fraud must be alleged. The
allegations of fraud have been
made, made promiscuously and
apparently with no other purpose
than to technically comply with
the law. So far the Hall forces
have shown no evidence OF having
evidence in their possession to
support the charges that they have
made.
None Substantiated.
In the 80 Marion county pre-
cints recounted up to noon the
contestants has made TIT allega-
tions of individual irregularities
and fraud in the vote. Not one OF
the challenges has been substan-
tiated by the recount. The checl
has eliminated 493 of the allega-
tions by showing them to be
groundless and the 224 remaining
constitute charges of fraud on the
part of individual voters and
cases where the votes were influ-
enced by priests and other Off
cials of the Catholic church. Un-
der the ruling of the court 1t must
be proven that each of these 101
voters changed their registration
or cast their ballots with fraudu-
lent intent and in bad faith.

In precinct IL, Salem, availed the
contestant nothing and the re-
count gave Olcott a gain of one
bringing his total gain to six.
Innocent Mistakes.
Up to this time the only irregu-

we're in the nature of innocent
mistakes by the election boards
and no indication of any fraud or
