Boyd Wins Closest
Race For Republican
Senatorial Nomination

Dan w. Maddox piled up a
commanding majority of votes
in Big Horn county, polling
1925 votes against 1873 for Hay
mes, but apparently had lost the
race for the republican nomina-
ton for congress- Thurday as
returns throughout the district
continued to come in.
Returns Wednesday night
from sos out of 754 precincts
gave Haynes 12,046 and Maddox
$3.50.
Closest race in the local con-
tests was that between J. R.
Boyd and H. W. BunsCon for the
republican nomination for state
senator. Boyd was winner by IL
votes in the unofficial tabula-
ton.
A much heavier vote was cast
on the republican ticket than
on the democratic, probably due
to the fact that there were no
contests for local nominations
among the bourbons.
In the two other local con-
tests, George Cormack was win
ner over Mike Kuchera for the
republican nomination for state
representative, and Tom Mac
Leod defeated Andrew Miller
for the republican nomination
for county commissioner by
less than a hundred votes. Jess
Criswell had enough write-tn
votes on the democratic ticket
to make him a nominee.
Wednesday night tallies in
Dictated that in statewide con-
tests, Governor sam G. Ford
was winner by a large majority
over DR.. Jacob Thorkelson for
the republican gubernatorial
nomination. Lief Erickson OF
Sidney apparently had the DEM
ocratic nomination for the
same office, with Austin B.
Middleton second and former
governor Roy E. Ayers third.
For lieutenant governor, Paul
Cannon of Butte was leading Lou
Boedecker of Deer Lodge by a
brief margin on the democratic
ticket, and Ernest T. Eaton of
Billings led his two opponents,
Paul w. Smith of Helena and
John D. Gillian of Great Falls
on the republican slate.
R. v. Bottomly, incumbent.
was slightly ahead of Harrison
j. Freebours of Butte and JOS
eph J. McCaffery, also of Butte,
for the democratic nomination
for attorney general.
For railroad and public SER
vice commissioner, George A.
Davis of Helena was leading
over three opponents on the re-
publican ticket, and Horace F.
casey Of Butte led among five
democratic contestants.
Violet M. Eastman of Helena
had a large majority over John
Sasek of Sidney for the demo-
cratic nomination for superin-
tendent of public institution.
Albert H. Angstman of Helena
E. K. Cheadle of Shelby, Albert
Anderson, incumbent, of Helena.
and John A. Matthews of Hell
ena appeared to have won nom
nations to the Montana sup
RENE court on the nonpartisan
judicial ballot, although Enor
x. MatSon of Helena trailed a
close fifth.
