On these returns Congressman Nor ris, republican, has a lead over Shal lenberger for the United States sena torshtp of 12,600 votes, which he should lncreaae to over 13,000 in precincts not yet reported. Governor Aldrich is 10,000 votes be hind Senator Morehead for the gover norship, with the probability of an even run in outstanding precincts. Governor Wilson's lead over Roose velt for the preference of Nebraska's eight presidential electors, is 32,700. Seventy-live per cent of the vote pre sumably cast on the various state of ficers below governor has been tabu lated and shows majorities of from 3,800 to 12,200 for the republican can didates.
