St. Louis. Mo.. Aug. 4. United
States Senator James A. Reed to
night gaA-e a statement expressing
gr uification at the outcome of Tues
day's primary. On the face of vir
tually complete returns the senator
has defeated Breckinridge Long,
formerly third assistant secretary of
state, by more than 5,000 votes for
the democratic senatorial nomina-
Stating the contest has been
"somewhat heated." the senator em
phasized his position would be to
i lore party wounds. The arch enemy
cf the league of nations who was re-Ti;;d:atr-d
by his party two years ago,
was elated highly when assured that
his plurality would exceed 5,000.
The senator was reluctant to make
a statement, in view of the fact that
Mr. Long had made no statement
conceding his defeat, but finally con
sented when assured of his nomina
tion, and told that Mr. Long had
announced he would remain reticent
until the complete official count
was reportei. which may he several
days.
With only eighty-one precincts to
be heard from United States Senator
James A. Reed tcnight had a lead
over Brecker.ridge Long cf 5.700
votes in the race for the democratic
senatorial nomination. Political ob
servers declared it impossible to
overcome this lead in the eighty-one
outstanding precincts, which are
chiefly in rural districts where the
vote is light.
Li:ic: Made a rain of 500 votes on
th face of cuicial returns from
sixty cf the seventy-six voting pre
cincts in St. Louis county (exclusive
of St. Lou is 1, but unbiased political
observers say it is doubtful if the
returns from the outstanding pre-,
cincts will be as favorable to the
former third assistant secretary of
state as were those from this county.
Even if they are. Reed still would
i.avo a lead of nearly 5,000 votes on
the complete returns.
Long. whore platform is "the poli
cies of Wood row Wilson" refused to
con: resent on the situation although
up "i;til tonisrht he has expressed
confidence of victory.
"I prefer to await the official
count before making any statement,"

DIVISION IN SEPTEMBER' iiand tol bie reunion un lue,r
Omaha. Aug. 2. The annual re
union of the Eighty-ninth division
will be held in Omaha during the
Ak-Sar-Ben festivities this fall on
September 26-22. This is Nebraska's
own division.
All men from this state who were
called in the draft during the early
part of the war were sent to Camp
Funston to join the division.
It is estimated that approximately
4,000 men were in the "Middle
"West" unit. General Leonard Wood
trained this division which later was
destined to live up to his ideals.
It covered itself with glory in the
St. Mihiel and Argonne-Meuse offen
sives and was chosen as one of two
national army units to make the
march into Germany with the army
of occupation.
The bureau of publicity of the
Omaha chamber of commerce and Ak-Sar-Ben
heads are co-operating with
the division to make the event mem

I A large number of the Cass coun-
Lum Doyle of the state boxing
commission announced Wednesday
afternoon that Jack Johnson, for
mer world'3 champion pugilist has
been barred forever from appearing
in boxing events in Nebraska.
The matter came before the state
commission on an application from
the American Legion for a permit to
hold a boxing match between "black"
Jack Johnson and Harry Well nt
Scottsbluff. on August 15. Harry
Wells has been aspiring to a match
with Dempsey.
The commission thought because
of the bad reputation of Jack John
son that it would be fully Justified
in refusing permission. It was be
lieved that nothing could hurt box
in. g in Nebraska more than to per
mit Johnson to appear in a public
exhibition.
Therefore the request was denied.
