Senator's Lead Cut From
10,0S0 to 3,154, With
Over Half Counted.
SIGNAL VICTORY
FOR NONPARTISANS
League Regains Control
Lost With Recall in
October.

FARGO. n. D. June Ex-senator
Porter J. McCumber has been de-
feated in the Republican primary by
former Governor Lynn r. Frazier
the Nonpartissn League.
Returns up to ten o'clock left no
doubt as to the outcome.
With more than half of the vote
tabulatsd on the senatorship. Nc
Cumber's lead over Frazier had been
cut from nearly 10.0S0 to 3,154. A
total of 1918 precincts out of 2.26s
gave McCumber $3.50 and Frazier
55.145.
These returns included a large
nummber OF western counties where
the leaguers are strong. Only two
small counties were not represented
in the total.
In the defeat of McCumber the
Harding administration has sus-
tanned a harder blow than in the
Iowa Indiana or Pennsylvania prt-
maries. where administration candi-
dates were defeated. AS head of the
Senate Finance Committee. Senator
McCumber was one of the most pow
erful men in Washington.
Victory for League.
His defeat is a signal Victory for
the Nonpartisan League-which lost
control of the ship of state in last
October's recall election. Gov. Fra
zier. then governor, was recalled.
along with his henchmen in State
Offices. Consequently his victory is
looked upon as a remarkable reversal
of public sentiment
In past elections the Republican
nomination was tantamount to cleo
ton. Frazier probably will win in
November IL present opinion continues
to prevail in the State. When the In
dependent Voters Association at
jamestown last March refused to in
dorse McCumber it was because of
tacit agreement that If he were de-
feated all the opposition to the nom
partisans would combine to elect the
Democratic nominee over Frazier.

nominee over Frank o. Helistrom. of
