B. ChandkV, governor of Ken tucky. Without mentioning names, the sen ate group said, “it is certain that or- ^nized efforts have been and are be ing made to control the vote of those on relief work, and that contributions have been sought and obtained from federal employes, in behalf of one of the senatorial candidates.” THE HORNETS’ NEST his bid for Democratic renomination. Returns from 188 of the state’s 4,428 precinots gave Clark 19,i^ votes. The vote for his three oppon ents was: Joseph T. Davis, 3,474; Willis H. Meredith, 2,104, and Robert j !. Young, 1,720. Clark lias the support of Gov. Lloyd C. Stark, T. J. Pendergast of Kansas City, Mayor Bernard F. Dickmann of St. Louis, and 108 of the 114 Demo cratic county committees. A neck-and-neck struggle seemed in prospect in the state supreme court race, center of a bitter intra-party fight between “Boss” Pendergast and On the other hand, the committee j Governor Stark. , reported, “It is equally certain that] The candidates, Pendergast-indorsed] state officials charged in part with .James V.

As was expected, Kan-j sas City gave Billings a top-heaN^y. lead, but there were no off-setting re turns yet from St. Louis, Douglas’• stronghold. | The Democratic supreme court scrap, which pushed Clark’s race into' the background, attractisi thousands of Republicans.
