k0ta, to the United States senate
from North Dakota was conceded"
today by r. G. Nelson,t state Sec

ent. %s !E.
Although j. f. r. O'Connor was
still leading Lynn j. Frazier this
afternoon In the race for the
United States senate, 1t was ap-
parent that the Nonpartisan
league candidate was slowly gain
ing and would pass the Grand
Forks man before the count was
AZ the same time Governor r.
A. Nestos continued to pile up his
already large lead over william
Lemke, the league candidate for
governor, and at s O'Clock was
moro than $4,000 votes ahead OF
his league rival.
In the races for the other state
offices 1t appeared likely the In
dependent candidates nominated
in tho Republican primary, which
included those for the all i'm
portant Industrial commission,
had been elected, but there was a
strong probability that those who
ran in tho Democratic column
had been defeated.
Returns received this after
noon were rs follows:
