Claims Grounds for Contest.
Although Stato Senator Peter Wink
of Kearney has beon renominated on
tho face of the returns as the demo
cratic candidate in the Twenty-second
senatorial district, a contest may be
brought by Raymond E. Dale of Loup
City, who opposed him in tho primary.
Mr. Dnle has written to the attorney
general's office charging that ballot
irregularities were perpetrated In
Wink's favor, and asking whether or
not he has any legal way to obtain
redress. To support his assertion
that ho did not receive a fair deal In
the primary, Mr. Dale enclosed a sam
ple ballot of the kind used In Sher
man county. On this ballot, Senator
Wink's namo Is printed in largo type,
while all other names appear in small
type. The lino containing Wink's
name also projects beyond the other
lines In a manner which would enf)
attention to It, without any difference
In the size of the type.
