WITH ONE EXCEPTION
The unofficial returns from the
state election held last Tuesday have
now been carefully checked and while
the figures may be slightly changed
F; when the results from the different
counties have all been tabulated, as
required by law, this will not be suf-
ficient to change the ultimate result
in any OF the contests.
The entire democratic state ticket
has been elected with the exception
OF the inspector of mines, in which
the republican candidate. Andy ].
Stinson. has been reelected.
The candidate selected and ma
jorities given them are as follows
United States Senator:
Key Pittman -------72
Representative in Congress:
Charles L. Richards -3707
Governor:
James G. Scrugham 2050
Lieutenant-Governor
Maurice J. Sullivan -251.
Justice of the Supreme Court:
]. A. Sanders ----------32
Secretary of State:
w. G. Greathouse
State Treasurer:
Ed Malley 2349
State Controller:
George A. Cole
Surveyor General:
Charles l.. Deadly ------------ 1S1
Attorney General:
M. A. Diskin --------------- 331
State Printer:
Joe Farnsworth
Inspector OF Mines:
Andy J. Stinson 3S7f
Regent of University:
Frank Williams
In the two close races the results
hinged practically on White Pine
county. Diskin for attorney general
has total majority In the state OF
3s1 and his majoriy in White Pine
county was 336.
Deady for surveyor general shows
lead on the total figures OF 1S1 md
his majority In White Pine was 10.
One Of the state candidates writ
ing to friend In Ely said: white
Pine was our one best bet. Returns
from there came in late and tho re-
publicans held out some hope of be-
Ing elassed in Ely as favcrable, hut
when the returns became known the
old guard threw up the sponge"
Among the surprises perhaps the
greatest was that Pittman carried
White Pine over Chandler by ma
jority of sos. This is not to be ac-
cepted as an indication that Mr..
Chandler is not popular in his home
county, because the reverse is un-
doubtedly true. Neither is 1t to be
accepted as an indication that there
was any doubt in The minds of The
voters OF the county that the local
man would not make good senator.
because the reverse is there likewise
true. The figures show that Pitt
man carried every county in the state
except Churchill and Douglas. and
the entire result clearly indicates
that the excellent record OF Senator
Pittman made him strong favorite
with the people. and perhaps no other
man in the state could have come
even as close TO him as did Mr..
Chandler. In White Pine county the
Pittman campaign was well handled
and while Mr.. Chandler made The
straightforward. clean campaign
which is characteristic of the man it
is generally conceded that In matters
which of necessity were left to cam
paign managers his interests were
not we'll handled in many instances.
While the Pittman majority over
Chandler Is larger than that given
Serugham over John II. Miller for
governor, Governor-elect Scrugham
received larger percentage of the
vote In White Pine county In the
race in which he was directly inter-
ested than did Senator Pittman.
Serugham received close to 20 per
cent Of tho total vote cast for gov
ernor in this county, while Pittman
received 65 1-3 per cent of the vote
cast for senator
