Complete returns from SS counties out of 102 in Illinois give for the Re publican nomination for governor' Deneen. 1S1 509; Yates, 170,233. gl Ing Deneen n plurality from return" at hand of 11,254. Eighty-eight coun ties gle for the Republican senator hi I Indorsement. Hopkins. 117, S22, Foss, 99.709; Mason, 71.G55. The fi lends of Governor Deneen confidently predict that he will secure the nomlnntlon by n majoilty of at least 10,0011 over Yates, and the Yates managers' made about the same pre' diction for theli man. Senator Hopkins declared that he believed that he would be Indorsed for the senntorshlp by n plurality of 25.000. The Foss managers claim that they have carried many of the senatorial districts and that when the legisla ture comes to vote for senator thu men from these districts must be guided by the vote in those districts, lrrespecthe of what the vote of the uitlre state may have been. They argue that in this way Foss is cer tain to receive the election from the legislature, even though he runs be hind In the primaries. For the Republican gubernatorial nomination Deneen received In Chi cago and Cook county 79,700; Yates, 72,109, giving Deneen a plurality In Chicago and Cook county of 7.591. The Democratic senatorial Indorse ment may be dismissed with the sin gle statement that Stringer won eas ily In every county In the state so far ns heard from. Adlnl E. Stevenson, former vice president of the United States, ran lnr ahead of his opponent for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination, although James Hamilton Lewis of Chicago made a phenomenal run In Chicago and Cook county, securing nearly as many votes as all other candidates together.

Warren J.
