good lead over his four opponents on

Similarly. former State Sunerinten-

publican aspirant for the suherna-
torial nomination, was maintaining a
good advantage over his three op-
ponents.
Ideal election weather and spirited
contests, together with the injection
OF the ku kluX Khan and prohibition
issues into the primary brought out
an uneXpeCt eddy heavy vote.
Politicians were considerably i'm
pressed with the comparative
strength shown by former Judge
Henry $. Priest, an aVowed wet"

pressed particularly with the proper
tion of Priest votes from purely rural
