Sullivan, Republican, of 6.414. Returns from missing precincts, chiefly outside cities and towns, were steadily in- creasing the woman candidate's ma- jority. Returns tabulated from 496 prte- cincts gave Coolidge a lead of 11,188 over LaFollette, a lead of 17,659 over Davis and a majority over LaFol- lette and Davis of 2,285. These pre- cincts gave Warren, Republican, for United States” senator, a lead of 5,839 over Rose, Democrat. The same precincts gave Winter, Repub- Ucan, for’ congress, a lead of 8,663 over Wanerus, Democrat, Tho results in the 496 precincts tabulated were: Coolidge, 26, Dayis, 8,903; LaFollette, 15,374.

For governor: Sullivan, Republican, 22,- 276; Ross, Democrat, 27,690. Several thousand Casper votes had not been added to the totals at this time, due to incomplete returns from several large precincts. As a result of the heavy poll in the election, counting machinery was clogged up throughout the state and the final count will be awaited by party lead- ers before concessions are made.
