Lynn j. Frazier Nominated for United
States Senator
At the time this article is written,
complete state returns on the primary
election held last week are not avail
able, two holidays intervening being
responsible for the delay in getting
the votes counted and tabulated.
Enough is known, however, to as
sure Gov. R. A. Nesots of the repub-
lican nomination by majority Of
about 10000 votes. Other state Office
candidates who have sufficient plu-
rality to insure their nomination when
the votes are all counted include Frank
H. Hyland for lieutenant governor, in
dependent; Thomas Hall for secretary
Of state, independent; John Steen for
state treasurer, independent; Joseph
A. Kitchen for commissioner of agri-
culture and labor, independent; D. C.
Poindexter for state auditor, nonpar-
tisan; S. A. Olsness for insurance
commissioner, nonpartisan; and Geo.
Shafer for attorney general, indepen-
dent. The race for railroad commits
sioners is close, and the outcome is
still in doubt. Miss Minnie Nelson
will have a large majority over her
opponent for superintendent Of pub
lie instruction. For the supreme
court, Sveinbjorn johnson, Seth Rich
ardson, M. j. Englert and w. L. Nues-
sic would seem to be almost certain Of
landing nominations, while L. E. Bird
zell, A. G. Burr, A. T. Cole and w. n.
Stutsman are punched for the fifth
and sixth positions.
Lynn j. Frazier will receive the re-
publican nomination for United States
senator by about the same plurality
that Gov. Nestos will have over B. F.
Baker for governor. Geo. M. Young,
incumbent, has been renominated for
congressman from the second district.
]. F. T. O'Connor has a big lead
over F. o. Hellstrom for United States
senator, in the democratic primaries,
and the outcome of the race between
Simon and Platou for the democratic
nomination for governor is doubtful.
Complete returns on the vote in
Dickey county are now available,
showing that Frazier carried the coun-
ty for U. s. senator, getting 1,402
votes to 1921 for McCumber and 100
for McHarg. Young received MAJ
jority for congressman, his vote being
1899 to 1918 for Sherman. Stegner'a

orably received in Dickey county, as
he only received 67 votes, Nestos
