 Family Again Represented
 Chicago, April P)-Once more a Mccormick stands for election to the United States senate as representa- tive of Illinois republicans.
 Twelve years ago it was Medill Mccormick. Today it is his widow, Congresswoman Ruth Hanna McCor- mick. She was nominated at yester- days primary election with more than 140, 900 votes to spare over Sen- ator Charles s. Deneen, seeking re- election.
 Medill McCorns8E won the repub- lican nomination N 1918 from one of the political powers of Chicago William Hale Thompson. Yesterday his widow overturned the dominant republican organization in Chicago, and she did it with the full support of the reconstructed city hall repub- lican faction that Deneen forces crushed in 1928.
 
 Next November, as a result of Tuesdays primary, history will get chance to repeat-or reverse-itself; for then, as ? years ago it will be Mccormick Hs. James Hamilton Lewis. Lewis, whom Medill McCor- mick defeated in the 1928 election, ran away with the dem ocratic nom- ination yesterday.
 With 1850 of the states 7,117 pre- cincts counted early today, Mrs. Me- Cormick had polled 455,796 votes against 314,s49 for her opponent. Newton Jenkins was third on the ballot with 74,305 votes.
 The victory of Mrs. Mccormick, the first woman ever to win a sena torial nomination from a major po- litical party, was accomplished by plaralities from every part of the state. However, her great strength, which showed itself as surprise to many political wiseacres, was in Chi cago, Senator Deneen's home town where. only two years ago, he led the fight that dumped. Mayor Thompson from his place of party power.
 Carries Cook County
 Mrs. McCormick's indicated advan- tage in Chicago and Cook County alone, on the basis of the incomplete returns, may exceed 150,000 votes. She sought the nomination on plat form of opposition to the world court When it became apparent that she had been nominated, Mrs. Me Cormick said:
 q believe it is a logical conclI- sion that the people of Illinois are against adherence to the League of Nations court"
 Senator Deneen in his campaign, sue and defended in speech and pamphlet his senate votes in favor of it.
 Prohibition promises to join tue world court as an issue of the No- vember campaign. Lewis has an- nounced that the 18th amendment will be major issue, so far as ne is concerned. He is outspokenly op posed to prohibition. Mrs. McCor- mick classifies as dry. Strength Seen Tn Figures The extent of Mrs. Mccormick $ victory in Chicago was apparent in figures showing that she apparently had carried Senator Deneen's homo ward. the 17th. She carried also the 18th, home ward of the murder cd Diamond Joe' Esposito, Deneen ward leader.
 Except for the world court, Mrs. Mccormick campaigned in support of the administration program on farm relief, the tariff and other matters of national concern. She was to return late today to Wash ington to resume her congressional duties. When she comes back home, she said, she will commence d campaign for election as vigorous as that which preceded yesterdays $ | primary.
 Returns Arc Delayed The length of the ballot was de- | laying returns on congressional con- tests. Meagre returns showed Oscar | DePriest, Negro congressman from | the first district. ahead. Congress- l man M. A. Michaelson, whose leaky trunk led last year to a charge of prohibition law violation-a charge | of which he was acquitted-was having a close race with three op- ponents in the seventh district; but here, again, returns were too slight to predict the result.
 Frank L. Smith, thrice denied a seat in the United States senat:, and Richard Yates, incumbent, ao- peared to have won the two plac $ on the republican ticket for con- gressman It large. There were 2l 1 other candidates.
