FARGO, N. D.. June 30 ASSOCIATED
Press) Non Partisan League leaders
claim that former Gov. Lynn j.

publican Senatorial nomination.
McCumber had lead of 4.S00 votes
over Frazier in the contest when tabu-

ended for the night.
Unofficial returns from 1901 pre-
cincts out of 2.064 in the State gave:
McCumber. 54125; Frazier, 1908.
Senator McCumber. after dropping
down to a $500 lead, made slight gains
early tonight when a number of pre-
cincts in the anti-league territory
made belated reports, but the down.
ward trend started again as additional
precincts in the western part of the

MCUMBER IS DETECTED,
BUT CLAIMS A VICTORY
Special Dispatch to THE NEw YoRK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington. ID. C., June 20.


The indicated defeat of Senator Nc
Cumber, arch apostle Of the bonus. for
denomination in the North Dakota Re-
publican primaries caused a sensation In
Washington tonight. =
The Senator himself admitted at 10
o'clock that returns received from one
half OF the State was very unfavorable
He still persisted In the claim, however.
that the full count would show him the
victor.
In no other circles was as much i'm
portance attached to the North Dakota
primaries as among the political leaders
of the American Legion who are en-
gagged in promoting the $4,000, 600, 900
bonus raid on the Federal Treasury.
These political leaders threw the full
power of their influence behind Mr.. Nc
Cumber They conducted an active can
vass among the voters OF the State urg-
ing them by every device known to poll
tics to support the most conspicuous and
energetic advocate Of the bonus for the
able bodied service men.
According to the best advices there
are approximately 5000 ex-service men
in North Dakota. The politicians In the
American Legion asserted their power
to deliver this class OF voters to the
support OF Mr.. McCumber.
On the basis OF the returns received
up TO a late hour tonight. IT was quite
apparent that the ex-service men OF
North Dakota refused to be delivered
en- bloc TO the support of their most
aggressive legislative champion.
Senators and Representatives who
studied the returns were compelled to
admit that they had attached entirely
too much Importance to the promises
and threats of the political leaders of
the American Legion. Even II Mr.. Nc
Cumber should finally be returned the
winner. which now seems improbable.
the value of the purchasable ex-service
votes will be shown TO be far less than
some Senators and Representatives be-
lieved Il to be.
