IN INDIANA PRIMARIES
INDIANAPOLIS, May 7--(By the
Associated Press).-Presjdent Cool
idge's walk-away victory in the Re'
publican primary giving him 50 more
votes in the national convention al
most faded from the sight of pol1tl-
cal observers today with interest CEN
tered in the contest for the Repubil-
can nomination for governor, which

Belated returns from the balloting
I yesterday failed to change the early
standing in the state contest. Ed
Jackson, secretary of state, running
with Ku k.ltlx Khan support, has far
outstripped his five opponents for the
gubernatoriaI nomination, and IN
doing so apparently has gained a ma
jority vote, making his selection bind
ing on the state convention that
meets late this month. Jackson's
closest opponent, Mayor lew Shank
of Indianapolis, avowed opponent OF
the Khan, was many thousand votes
behind.
Returns from ,673 Of the state's
3,409 precincts gave Jackson 84,645;
Shanks $4,000; E. C. Toner, Ander-
son publisher, $3.50; Ora G.. Davis,
Terre Haute mayor, 4.014; Edgar ID.
Bush, former lieutenant governor,
1884, and Elias Dulberger, OF In
dianapolis, l ,452.
In the Democratic contests, inter-
est centered in the nominee for gov
ernor, and while DR.. Carleton 3. Me-
Culloch, of indianapolis, who head
ed the state ticket in the last cleo
| ton, led in the eight-man contest, it
was soon apparent that he would fail
of a majority vote, leaving the nom
ination to the state convention to be
held later this month. McCulloch's
Gratis on a presidential preference.
Not only did the khan issue bob UP
in the governorship race, but also in
some of the congressional contests,
and likewise in the races for county
offices. The fight. too, was mani
fest generally throughout the state
in the efforts to elect delegates to
the state convention that will nomi-
cloest opponent was Mayor George
r. Durgan, Of Lafayette, an anti
khan candidate,
The returns from lap of the
3,409 precincts gave:
McCulloch, 37,431; Cravens, 49,
639; Crittenberger. 14.339; Bait.
1868; Dugan, 20,005; Risk, 1895;

gressional returns early today were
TOO meager to forecast final results.
