The Nebraska State Bank ■ ■---a PRESIDENT COOLIDGE AND SENATOR NORRIS OVER WHELMINGLY ENDORSED BY NEBRASKA VOTERS President Calvin Coolidge and United States Senator George Norris were overwhelmingly endorsed by Ne braska voters at'the primary election Tuesday and Adam McMullen, of Beat rice, received he republican nomina tion for the governorship by a hand some plurality over Albert N. Math ers, of Gearing. In the democratic column Governor Charles Bryan ran very far ahead of Chares Graff, his opponent for the nomination, and John J. Thomas, of Seward, received the nomination for the United States senate. There were no democratic candidates for the presidental nomi nation filed in the state, but William McAdoo received the big end of the written in vote, witn uovernor Bryan second. The governor has announced that he does not consider the prefer ence expressed for Mr. McAdoo as binding on the delegates to the demo cratic national convention, however; following in this his brother, W. J. Bryan, tvho at the Baltimore conven tion disregarded the voice of the Ne braska democracy which had declared for Champ Clark. In the Sixth con gressional district Congressman Rob ert Simmons was renominated without opposition and the democrats on the returns now in have selected Charles W. Beal, of Broken Bow, to be de feated by him this fall. Mr. Beal holds the unique distinction of having been defeated more times for congress in the Big Sixth than W. J. Bryan has for the presidency. In the candidacies of local interest Judge Robert R. Dick son ran far ahead of Judge James Berryman, of Bassett, for district judge, although both are nominated to contest against each other this fall, and County Judge Malone is running better than two to one ahead of S. E. Kelley, of Atkinson, who is the other contestant for the county judgship. W. L. Philley, of Ewing, is nominated over Ross Amspoker, of Springvlew, for state senator from the Twenty Second district and will oppose John A. Robertson, the democratic nominee, this fall, and J. M. Hunter has been named as the republican nominee and Frank Harrington the democratic one for representative from the Sixty Fourth representative district. Ira Mess had no opposition for the repub iican nomination for clerk of the dis trict court and also apparently has re ceived the democratic nomination by having his name written in. Chauncey Keyes, of Inman, apparently has re ceived the republican nomination for county assessor and John Melvin the democratic nomination.

W’illiam Leonard Philley, of Ewing, will represent the Twenty Second district, comprising Holt, Boyd, Brown, Keya Paha and Rock counties, in the Nebraska state senate next year. Mr. Philley on the face of the returns now in has defeated his opponent in the republican primary, Ross Amspoker, of Springview, by approximately three hundred votes. The unofficial returns in Holt county, ' with several precincts yet to hear from, give Philley 701 votes and Ams poker 372. In the other counties of the district Mr. Philley ran well up with his opponent; in Keya Paha county, Mr. Amspoker's home county, tying him with 163 votes each, with three precincts out. The vote in the entire district is most complimentary to the popularity of the Ewing man, as Mr. Amspoker, his opponent, is one of the leading attorneys of the west end of the district and enjoys a large acquaintance and the respect and confidence of all who know him throughout the entire district.
