Senator George W. Norris and Ex
Governor John H. Morehead will be
the representatives of the republican
and democratic parties in the contest
for United States senator in the fall
election. Returns fspm 1300 of the
1848 precincts in the state give Nor
ris a lead of more than 4,900 votes over
Congressman Sloan on the republican
ticket on the basis of the latest tabu
lations this morning.
Morehead was more than 12,000
votes ahead of R. L. Metcalfe, his
nearest opponent, and seems destined
to win over the Omahan by almost
3 to 1.
Hammond Qreeps Up.
Hammond has crept up to 550 votes
behind Sloan, but close observers
: point out that the returns already in
are from territory where Hammond
was likely to draw most strongly
and tliat returns from the western
part of the state will probably divide
between Norris and Sloan.
Governor Neville is sweeping
Charles Bryan under a greater ava
lanche than lie did two years ago.
He had increased his lead by Friday
morning to almost 11,000 out of more
khan 47,000 votes cast in the 1342 pre
. cincts tabulated. ,
S. R. McKelvie will be Governor
Neville's opponent in the contest for
governor in the November elections.
No figures will be available as to
McKelvie's vote in the nrimarv un
til the official figures come in, as the
race was so one-sided that no
unofficial figures were tabulated.
Walter Johnson of Omaha is his only
opponent. Douglas county figures
gave McKelvie a lead of more than
, I to 1 over his opponent.
Lieutenant Governor.
Results on the republican ticket
are pretty well settled except for two
offices. P. A. Barrows had 10,767
votes on the latest count, over 4,000
aneaa ot t. b. rage, his nearest com
petitor. Isidor Ziegler and M. L.
Fries were each about 1,000 behind
Page for lieutenant governor in 27
counties, being the tabulation so far
made on the state tickets.
D. M. Amsberry and W. S. Jay
are running a close race for secre
tary of state. Jay had 14,079 on the
face of the latest figures, and Ams
berry had 13,026.
Dan Cropsey had no opposition for
the office of state treasurer.
Davis Seems Winner.
C. A. Davis seems to be tlie win
ner in the contest for attorney gen
eral. His lead over Dowling is U00
out of 26,000 votes cast.
. The nomination for land commis
sioner is stilt in doubt. E. B Cowles
had a lead of 2,000 at midnight Thurs
14 M5 Svvanson' witl1 ote f
The winner ih the contest for rail
way commissioner is still also doubt
ful. H. G. Taylor had 13,664 votes to
Cook's 11,780 on the basis of the latest
tabulation at midnight Thursday.
Slatt on Democratic Ticket.
The democratic ticket may go into
the fall race with C. E. Slatt as can
didate for lieutenant go'ernor. Slatt
js accused of having affiliations with
the Nonpartisan league. Latest fig
ures put him but 4,000 behind W. B.
Banning, who had over 12,000.
Secretary of state on the democrat
ic ticket is still more or less a tossup
between H. Cooper and A. T. Catc-
wood, the former leading by 740 votes,
"i . i i-i ...
wmer canaiuates are trailing.
The contest for state auditor on
the democratic ticket is still a mat
ter of doubt, also. E. P. Mumford
has 8,125 votes so far. Fred Ayres has
6,750.
The rest of the .democratic ticket
is practically settled.
Congressional Fight.
Nip and tuck best expresses the
contest in the Fourth congressional
district between Adam McMullen and
M. A. McLaughlin for the republican
nomination for congressman. Latest
figures show McLaughlin in the lead
again after he had fallen a few be
hind. Tabulations art midnight Thurs
day gave McMullen 3"168 votes,
against 3 203 for McLaughlin. These
figures do not include any" returns
from Saline and Saunders counties
and but half of Seward county. Mc
Mullen is -remarried" as a sure winner
in Saline and Saunders countiesMc-

x False Personal Attack
During Campaign.
Head of State Hospital
For Insane Enters Army '
And Will Go to France
From a Staff Correspondent.
Lincoln, Aug. 22. (Special.) Dr.
L. li. Filsbury, superintendent of the
state hospital for insane at Lincoln,
has tendered his resignation and will
accept work in the army medical
corps and expects to go to France
very soon.
Dr. J. D. Case, former head of the
State Board of Health, has been ap
pointed acting superintendent during
the absence of Dr. Pilsbury, who ex
pects o return to the work when his
services are no longer needed by the
government. Dr. Case is one of Lin
coln's well known physicians and will
make an efficient superintendent.
Between now and the time when
Dr. Pilsbury will leave, Dr. Case will
act as assistant superintendent a
place now vacant by the resignation
of Dr. F. S. Marnell who goes to the
state hospital for the insane at Stock
ton, Cal., at a higher salary. Speak
ing of the matter the Board of Con
trol says: "The board will hold open
positions whenever possible and give
preference to employes going to
war, upon their return."
Dodge County Bankers
Plan Liberty Lean Drive
Fremont, Neb., Aug. 22. (Special
Telegram.) Plans for the Fourth
Liberty loan drive to be staged in
Dodge county the week of Oct. 7 to
12 were outlined at the annual meet
ing of the Dodge County Bankers'
association at the Country club.
Banks of the county closed at noon
and bankers and their wives and
clerks spent an afternoon at the club.
Officers were elected as follows:
President, George C. Gage, Fremont;
treasurer, Will Meyer, Hooper; vice
president, Roy Cusack, North Bend;
secretary, J. Howard Heme, Fre
mont. It was decided to charge 7
per cent for loans for the purpose of
buying liberty bonds.
Family Has Narrow Escape
When Car Stalls on Track
Fremont, Aug. 22. (Special Tele
gram.) Mr. and Mrs. Herman Lodi
ana tneir tnree children Had a nar
row escape when the engine of their
automdbile "died" as the car was on
the Union Pacific crossing at North.
Bend and a freight engine struck it.
The occupants of the car escaped by
jumping. The car was wrecked. Mr.
and Mrs .Lodi were on their way
to Omaha to place one of their chil
dren in a hospital.
Government Wants Legally
Trained Men Stenographers
Lincotn, Aug. 22. (Special.) The
governor's office through Provost
Marshal Anderson is making a call
for volunteer stenographers with legal
training. Only white men who have
been physically examined and found
qualified for limited service or spe
cial service only will be accepted
Such men should apply to their local
boards at once. The time for vol
unteering will expire Aug. 31 and the
call will probably be made very soon
thereafter.
Laughlin will probably carry Seward
county by a small plurality.
Race in Fifth.
The race in the Fifth district for
the republican nomination is prac
tically settled in favor of Andrews,
at least on the basis of nine of the
representative counties of the
eighteen in the district. These statis
tics gave Andrews 3.471 and Gilliam,
his only opponent, 1.258. Congress
man Shallenbcrger, incmnbent, had
no opposition for jeuoinination' on
the democratic ticket.
Congressman Charles F. Reavis
had no opposition in his contest for
the renomination in the First Con
gressional district. The race between
Cresap and Peterson for the demo
cratic nomination seems to make
Peterson a sure winner. With only
Cass county missing Peterson's lead
was over 500.
Pool Against Kinkaid.
In the Jsixth Congressional district
Charles W. Pool appears to be the
winner for the democratic nomination
over Beal, his only opponent. With
13 of 23 counties reporting, Fool s
lead was more than 500. Congress
man "Mose" Kinkaid had no oppo
sition for the republican nomination.
Neither Evans nor Congressman
Stephens had opposition in the Tkird
Congressional district for the repub
lican and . democratic nominations,
respectively.
rive candidates had filed for the
four places on the nonpartisan ballot
tor regents of the state university.
Two of these will be chosen in No
vember. So the contest resolved it
self into seeing which one of the five
should be dropped. Carrickef is the
low man on the basis of complete re
turns from 19 of the 93 counties in the
state. j
Webster and Judson Lead.
John R. Webster of Omaha is lead
ing the ticket with 16,474 votes in the
19 counties. Frank W. Judson of
Omaha is second so far with 12,683
votfs. Sams and Evans are third and
fourth, respectively.
W. H. Clemmons and Sutherland
will be the two candidates for state
superintendent next fall, on the basis
of 19 counties reporting so far. Stew
art and Whitehorn are third and
fourth. Clemmons, incumbent, has
received 13.265 votes so far. Suther
land has 8,500.
Richard L. Metcalfe, defeated demo
cratic candidate for United States
senator, yesterday issued the follow
ing statement:
"Not content with Its victory, the
Omaha World-Herald seems willing
to continue its primary fight by' unfair
references to other candidates. Re
ferring to its candidate for senator,
the World-llcrald says that he 'con
ducted a fair, clean and dignified cam
paign,' that l.e 'held himself aloof from
clap-trap and buncombe' and that he
did not 'attempt to build himself up by
cheap and unworthy attacks upon op
posing candidates.
"I have no desire to 'thrash over old
straw' but this is a good place to ctr
rect a few false impressions created
by the Hitchcock-Mullen machine.
These people and their candidate for
senator sought, during the campaign,
to make it appear that I had engaged
in attacks upon that candidate. That
was entirely false. I challenge any
man to inquire of my friends and he
will find that I stood uncompromis
ingly against attacks upon any of my
opponents and that I went to ex
tremes in preventing attacks upon Mr.
Morehead. That is the simple truth
and I would he unjust to mvself if I
permitted uie orid-iierakl to give
formal confirmation to the false im
pression which the machine created.
Attack Upon Sons.
"Nor is it true that Mr. Morehead
refused 'to build himself by cheap
and unworthy attacks upon opposing
candidates.' He and his friends made
all manner of attacks upon me. They
made outrageous attacks upon two of
my sons who weai the United States
uniform. They attacked another son
who, at the request of Governor Ne
ville, remained temporarily out of the
service, but who has always intended
to go. And' they attacked me 'upon
every possible point, even to the
cheap and unworthy attack' of drag
ging in my religionof which, I ad
mit, I have all too little. It was Mr.
Morehead s gold which paid for an
advertisement in the Lincoln Journal
and the Lincoln Star and was signed
'The Onlooker.' This amounted to
an infamous assault upon my honor,
but it was camouflaged with a sen
tence which it was hoped would pro
tect these papers from libel suit.
Scores Lincoln Papers.
"Mr. Morehead is welcome to his
honors, though he has won by a mere
plurality. The World-Herald and its
machine are welcome to their joy. But
I know of no law requiring me to sub
mit to the World-Herald's false com
parisons and I think this statement
is due to the many men in Nebraska
who gave me their support. I make it
without feeling other than the poor
opinion 1 naturally have for the two
Lincoln newspapers which, for a price,
admitted- to their columns an in
famous and anonymous attack. In
order to keep up its pretense of 'neu
trality' the World-Herald did not
print that particular article. That at
tack was inereniouslv orenarerl and
was intended to stir the religious prej
udices of Catholics, many of whom
up to that time were supporting me.
It was the cheapest and most un
worthy piece of political literature
ever foisted upon the people of Ne
braska. With' that foul stain upon
the hands of the Hitchcock-Mullen
machine I would be unworthy of the
respect of any red-blooded man if I
tamely submitted to the unfair in
ferences which the' World-Herald
makes in yesterday's editorial."
