: With the contest on United
States senator and governor
ship settled beyond question,
interest centers now on the
rest of the Republican state
ticket where some very close
contests have developed. 1t
would seem almost certain
that the following leaguers
have been nominated: State
Auditor Poindexter, Insurance
Commissioner Olsness, and
. - Milhollan, Fay Harding and
Mcdonnell of the railroad
commissioners. They are lead
ing the Independents in a COM
pilation Of counties where
Nestos' vote is more than
1900 more than Bakers, indi-
. eating that Governor Nestos
has run far ahead Of the bal
. 'ance of the ticket and secured
league support that did not go
to other candidates on the In
dependent Republican ticket.
The race for attorney gen.
eral is exceedingly close as is
also that for state treasurer
and commissioner of agricul-
ture. Leaguers have a fighting
. '.'chance for these positions also
although it may be, late today
before anything definite is
known other than that the
vote will be close.
On governorship, 1899 pre-
cincts give Nestos 89,322 ;
Baker 72,807, and Stegner
1884. Nestos has a plurality
of 16,516!4, ~ tas aa4.s; z..,%
" With the rural vote coming
in, Frazier continued to pile
up a safe lead over Senator
McCumber. In 1882 precincts
the vote stood: Frazier 81,-
486; McCumber, 1913, or a
lead for Frazier of 5,713.
Although returns are too meager
to base d prediction upon the win
ners in the Republican primary on
.Sthe balance of the state ticket,
some startling disclosures are made
upon tabulation of returns from
various coutnies All anti-league
candidates for other officers are run
ming far behind Nestos while the
league candidates are polling prac-
llCdlly Ddher VOte Hfu III SOIuc III
stances, running ahead of their can
didate for governor.
1t would appear that the league
has fighting chance to capture
many of the other state Offices.
Olsness and Poindexter in coun-
=. ties tabulated are leading as we'll as
Harding, Milhollan and Mcdonnell.
Olson and Garberg are crowding
their adversaries. ~
