strongly dominated by the Democrats
The Republican strength has been
down State. The tremendous interest
in the race between Homer and
Bundesen, Republicans claimed, had
induced many Republicans throughout
the State to 60 into the Democratic
primary.
Roosevelt was expected to amass a
vote 100000 greater than the COM
bined vote for Knox and Borah.
Horner was campaigning against
Bundesen, the choice Of the Kelly-Nash
Chicago organization. on the issue of
"bossism." The victory of Homer,
while it may result in smashing the
Kelly-Nash organization to q con-
siderable extent, is believed to be an
aid to the Democratic ticket in No.
vember. If Bundesen turned up q
winner, many of the supporters Of
Horner might be lost to the Demo-
cratic national ticket. it was said.
Senator James Hamilton Lewis.
Democratic, who was without serious
opposition in the primary. was over
whelmingly renominated for his pres
ent office. His projected plurality. on
the face Of partial returns, was esti-
mated at 100000 votes. In the Re-
publican senatorial primary, former
Senator Otis Glenn was apparently
nominated over former Representative
Hull. Glenn had a total Of 296.l52
votes in 4.637 precincts against 49,
1862 for Hull.
In the Republican primary, c. Way
land Brooks. Chicago lawyer and
former assistant States attorney, was
the apparent victor, the results at the
three-quarter post showing him 1884,
600 votes ahead Of his nearest rival,
former Gov. Len Small.
The emergence from political re-
tirement of william Hale (Big BilD
Thompson. former Mayor of Chicago,
appeared today to have been in vain,
for Thomas v. Sullivan, his candidate
for the Republican nomination for
attorney general. trailed in the race.
With more than half the votes
counted, Charles W. Hadley of Whea-
ton was in the lead with 92,84S. fol-
lowed by Sullivan with 58,0s7.
Thompson broke q long silence to
campaign for Sullivan, asserting that
the only way to keep the Democrats
from stealing" the Chicago vote was
to elect Sullivan.
Roosevelt Leads in Nebraska.
Returns from the Nebraska primary
showed President Roosevelt In the
Democratic presidential primary with
q big lead in the number of votes
cast over Senator Borah in the Re-
publican primary.
Roosevelt and Borah were the sole
entrants in the Nebraska presidential
primary. Gov. Landon of Kansas de-
clined to have his name entered In
the Republican primary there. How
ever, many Of Landon's friends wrote
his name on the ballots yesterday
and the Landon ballots so cast were
about one-flfth Of the number cast
for Borah. In Nebraska the presi-
Dental primary Is merely advisory
and not binding upon the delegates
to the national convention. Landon's
supporters insist that when the show
down comes In the convention the
delegation will be found voting almost
solidly for the Kansas Governor.
An upset victory in the Nebraska
Democratic race for the senatorial
nomination was in sight for former
Representative Terry Carpenter, q
Townsend pension plan advocate
With l,4l7 Of 2,025 precincts tabu-
lated. he led J. c. Quigley, chairman
Of the Depocratic State Committee,
by 1000 votes. Quigley was not out
Of the running, but Carpenter seemed
to hold the margin.
Returns indicated no general re-
sponse to a last minute campaign
to write-in the name of Senator George
w. Norris, veteran Republican -Inde-
pendent, for reelection on both party
tickets. In the Democratic primary,
5s5 votes were recorded for him and
In the Republican. 62s.
Observers were In doubt about the
meaning Of the preferential vote for
