Interest in the November eiection| will undoubtedly. be centered on the! agricultural relief question, at least in the race for the United Si atorship. Both Colonel Brookhart, nominated on the Repub: lican ticket over Senator Albert B. Cummins, and Claude R.

Brookhart’s Majority 65,000 The colonel’s majority’ over the veteran Cum s now stands at more than 65,000, with several scattered | precincts yet to report on Monday's primary. Mr. Porter ran well ahead of his three Democratic opponents in the returns from more than 2,000 of the stat 2,447 precincts. In all political quarters, Brook- hart’s large vote has been interpret- ed ay ion of dissatisfaction of the mers over the failure of congress to give the demanded relief. The Democrats are well pleased with the primary for they vision a possibility that the unseated senator aay not be able to regain the favor many of his party and believe any widespread disturbance in the Repab- lican ranks. would send the anti- Brookhart faction to the Democratic standard. ‘The five Republican congressmen who had primary contests were re- nominated.
