mary election still incomplete last
evening, some of the nominees of both
the republican and democratic tickets
republican ticket Carl W. Riddick was
leading Attorney General w. D. Ran
kin by nearly 1000 for u. S. senator,
while on the democratic ticket B. K.
Wheeler of Butte was running away
ahead of his ticket and was conceded
the nomination. Lew L. Galloway for
chief justice of the supreme court
on the republican ticket was leading
the field by about 1000, while the race
between Miles j. Cavananugh of
Butte and Albert p. Stark of Living
ston on the same ticket was very
close, the former leading. John A.
Mathews of Townsend was leading on
the democratic ticket. j. M. Bur
lngame had lead of about It's over
Scott Leavitt for congressman from
the second district
On the county ticket it seemed GER
tain that Dominic Spogen of this city
will be the democratic nominee for
auditor and probable that Billy Pill
geram of Arlington will be on the
democratic legislative ticket George
w. Merkle, the local candidate for
state senator on the democratic ticket,
will probably come out third in. tha
race, the lineup being =Kirsehwing,
Judson, Merkle, Newman, though Mr..
Merkle was but a few votes behind
Judson.
Without any attempt to tabulate the
vote, which at best could be but very
incomplete the county nominees will
very likely be as follows:
