Victory is Evident.
IN. m. If,.iaI pra.a

Des Moines, a.. June 6.--lowa has
apparently handed the "old guard
of the republican party its third
successive defeat in state senatorial
primaries.
Smith w. Brookhart, progressive
on the basis of present returns, has
been named republican candidate for
United States senator from the
state, polling more than the re
quired 35 per cent of the total vote
in field of six candidates.
The other two primaries where
the the "old guard" went down in
surprising defeat were in Indiana
where Albert Beveridge was chosen
candidate, and in Pennsylvania where
Clifford Pinchot was successful in
trlumphing over the old Penrose
machine.
Indicate Enough Votes.
On the basis of returns compiled
early today, Brookhart had polled
9S.7 per cent of the total vote. If
he should not receive at least 35 per
cent of the vote, the nomination
would rest with a state convention,
which the "old guard has hoped to
control.
With 1,2O6 precincts out of 2,34S
in the state reported, the vote
stood:
Brookhart 60,346; Pickett, favorite
of the conservatives, 2S,639; Thorne,
24OS0; Francis 20,337; Sweet 1922.
Most Of the vote thus far tabulat-
ed Is from cities where Brookhart
was expected to show his greatest
weakness. Rural districts yet to be
heard from, are regarded as Brook
hart strongholds.
Des Moines, looked upon as a
Pickett stronghold, went for Brook
hart almost two to one.
