By Small Margin in
Latest Count

MINNEAPOLIS, M n n :,
June %. (UP)-Gov. Elmer
A. Benson ran up a lead OF
more than 5000 votes today
in the gubernatorial contest
of Minnesota's Farmer-Labor party.
With less than 900 small and
scattered precincts of the states
total of 3739 remaining to be count
ed, it appeared certain that he had
defeated Hjalmar Petersen, conser-
vative, former governor, for the
nomination.
The totals from 1888 precincts
tabulated by the United Press were
Benson, 1876, 1888; Peterson, 179,264;
Benson's majority, 6574.
For Petersen to overcome the gov
ernor's lead in the remaining count,
it would be necessary for him to
poll a majority of more than II
votes in each uncounted precinct.
Harold E. Stassen, of south St.
Paul, was an easy winner in the
Republican gubernatorial contest
With 3O53 precincts reported, he
held an advantage of more than
10000 votes over his nearest oppo-
nent, Martin A Nelson of Austin.
The Democratic gubernatorial
race still left some room for doubt
but it was believed that Thomas
