__ As a result of Tuesday’s Democratic State primary Governor
fticKatTl 1. Manhlfltf imbWtt’HWtelled fui 1 u uowwd tawm by a rrnu
jority which will probably approximate five thousand votes out of a
total which is expected to be around 140,000.
At one o’clock Wednesday morning 133,879 votes had been
accounted for in the Governor’s race. At that hour the vote stood:
BLEASE 64,429
MANNING ..69,450
* MANNING’S MAJORITY o,021
It is not expected that the five or six thousand votes still to be
heard from will change the relative standing of the two candidates
materially. The counties where.former Governor Coie L. Blease
wa»«ti*ngest have reported and in the boxes still to be heard from
the Ufcelihood is that the candidaes will split the vote pretty evenly.
RAILROAD COMMISSIONER.
In the race for railroad commissioner, James Cansler, “of
Tirzah,” has at last been elected to the office for which he has been
regularly a candidate at every election for a decade or more. He
has a lead of about 18,000 votes over Albert S. Fant out of a total
reported vote of about 110,000. The returns in this contest have
not been as fully reported as in the Governor’s race.
DOMINICK WINS.*
In the Third Congressional District Fred H. Dominick has
been elected-to Congress, defeating Wyatt Aiken, the incumbent.
THE SOLICITORSH1P.
A very close race is that between A. J. Hydrick and E. C.
Mann for solicitor of the First Judicial Circuit There are nine
boxes in Berkeley still to be heard from and with the figures in hand
Hydrick has a lead of less than 100.
t In the Ninth circuit Thomas P. Stoney has been elected solic
itor, defeating Frank M. Bryan;'in the Eighth circuit H. S. Black-
well defeats George T. Magill and in the Thirteenth circuit J. R.
Martin is successful over D. W T . Smoak.
• A feature of the voting Tuesday was that hundreds of men
filed many miles for the sole purpose of casting their ballots,
e was extraordinary interest everywhere in the outcome.
Speaker James A. Hoyt has been re-elected to the House of
Representatives from Richland County.
