With but seven small precincst still to be heard from in
entirety there is slight probability that any of the standing of
the candidates will be radically changed. B. C. Rumsey and
Dave Powers seem to be the only candidates who are likely to
be effected by the results of the remaining precincts.
Senator F. E. Warren, candidate for h United States senate,
received a very strong endorsement from he Republican voters of the
county, as did Congressman Charles e. Winter, candidate for congress.

senatorial race due TO the strong endorsement h g received in h Powell
