Approximately 6,300 republicans and 3,500 democrats voted yesterday in the 73 out of 80 precincts for which returns had been received at an early !hour Wednesday morning The outstanding feature of the local vote was the large plur- . anty given to iviiss tstner O'Keefe in the democratic primary, and the apparent defeat of Floyd Jellison for prosecutor on the republican ticket. The race between Jellison and Frank Coughlin, his opponent, was so close that the result will probably be in doubt until the 1 last precinct is in. Coughlin was j ! leading in the precincts that had j been returned, but Jellison showed some strength in the COuntry districts and may be abb to overcome the small margin which the incomplete returns pive to Coughlin.

O'KE WINS TRIUMPH OVER OPPONENTS Plymouth Woman Candidate for Congress Has Formidable Lead Over District. SWEEPS IIOrE COUTsTY Will Carry Marshall County by 1,000 Votes Has Commanding Lead Ilerc. Every indication at 2 o'clock Wednesday morning pointed to the most triumphant nomination of Miss Esther CVKeefe for congress on the democratic ticket. In this county in 71 out of the 80 precincts, she had a lead of 503 over Harry Grube, her nearest competitor, who was also ! closest in every other county so far reported. In her home county of Marshall, the votes in seven of the 33 precincts had been counted at this hour. In those precincts the vote stood 397 for .Miss O'Keefe and 127 for Grube. It is predicted that Marshall county will give her a lead of at least 1,000 votes. In four precincts in Fulton county the vote was 204 for Miss (O'Keefe and 166 for Grube. The vote in these precincts was said to be a fair gauge of what maV be expected in the other counties. Kosciusko county reported but two precincts at this hour in which the vote was 41 for Miss D'Keefe and 38 for Grube. In Elkhart, 27 precincts out of 75 gave her 145 to 75 for Grube. The clear cut lead in all the counties heard from makes it art 1 . . . . , ! almost positive certainty that liss O'Keefe wins the honor of being the first woman in Indiana to become a candidate for a federal office. WINS AT ELKHART. ELKHART, May 2. At midnight returns from 27 out of 75 precincts showed that Esther O'Keefe had polled 145 votes to 75 for Grube and 31 for Schricker. The same percentage is expected to prevail in the remaining precincts. As between New and Beveridge, this county is overwhelmingly for Beveridge. The same precincts give Beveridge 1,273 to 555 for New. Ralston has a comfortable lead for the democratic nomination for senator, with Howard his closest competitor.

INCOMPLETE RETURNS FROM ALL PARTS OF STATE GIVE FORMER SENATOR LEAD OF 2,600 VOTES

With About One-Fourth of the Vote of the State Tabulated, Beveridge Overcomes New's Early Lead and Forges to Front in Real "Horse Race" Contest Ralston 5-1 Winner of Democratic Nomination. BULLETIN At 2:30 o'clock Wednesday morning the headquarters for Ex-Sen. Boveridge announced that from reports of GOO out of the 3,383 precincts hvthe state, the reports received indicated the nomination of Mr. Beveridne by at least 20,GC0. The agricultural counties showed a vote of from 2 to 4 for Beveridge to 1 for New, and the belated precincts lie L-rndy in the agricultural districts. They had also received reports that Lake county will give him a majority of 10,000. The Associated Press at 2:30 this morning said Mr. Bcvcridge had gained a lead of 2,653 over Sen. New in the contest for the republican nomination for United States senator, according to a compilation of approximately one-fo:irlh of the vote cast in the primary election. Beveridge's total vote was 45,883 against 46,235 for New in 904 of the 3,333 precincts for the state.

INDIANAPOLIS. May 3. With only one-fifth of the vote at the Indiana primary election for the republican nomination fcr United States senator received early Wednesdaj', Albert J. Beveridge, former senator and leader of the old progressive party, was leading Sen. Harry S. New, candidate for renomination, by approximately 800 votes.

Mr. Beveridce's total vote for state was 32,996 against 32,170

here termed the contest as a real "horse race." Sen. New, however, was confident, predicting he would carry the state by 20,000, while Mr. Beveridge and his managers declined to make any statement. Less than two score of the 207 precincts in Marion county (Indianapolis) having the largest county vote in the state, had reported their vote by midnight and managers of both candidates expected the result would depend largely on the outcome of this one county. RALSTON EASY VICTOR. In the democratic senatorial race all reports heavily favored Samuel M. Ralston, former governor, the returns in most precincts

reported giving him an advantage

competitor. ilr. Kalston took the lead at the beginning of the compilation of the vote, and cumulative returns continued tri make certain his nomination, although a majority vote over L

four opponents was necessary. He had received 18,602, while his nearest opponent had 3,5 5 3 in the latest returns. The contest for the republican nomination overshadowed other phases of the primary and the first 200 precincts ?' ive Mr. New. a lead of almost 500 votes. The next 100 precincts favored Mr. Beveridge giving him the lead, which afterward increased to 1 ,- 400 and then dropped to 825. SMALL PRIMARY VOTE.
