Kansan Gets Nearly Fifth of
Nebraska Votes With Only
Borah on Ticket.
4 By the Associated Press.
LINCOLN, Nebr., April 15.—"Write
In” votes lor Gov. All M. Landon of
Kansas, who was not entered as a
candidate for the Republican presi
dential nomination, attained appreci
able proportions today as returns from
yesterday’s Nebraska primary election
came in slowly.
In 820 of 2.025 precincts Landon had
fc.382 "wTite-in” votes, or nearly a
* fifth of the 25,208 votes cast for Sena
tor William E. Borah, the only candi
date for the Republican presidential
nomination whose name was printed
en the ballot.
Several delegate candidates ex
pressed favor for Landon, but all 14
Nebraska delegates were uninstructed.
Col. Prank Knox received 99 “WTite
* In" votes and former President Hoo
ver 97 in the same number of pre
cincts.
Two Write Smith In.
President Roosevelt was assured the
support of the Democratic delegation.
The only Democratic presidential can
didate on the ballot, he had 46.209
votes in 825 precincts. Two voters
wrote in the name of Alfred E. Smith
as running mate for the President.
Former Representative Terry Car
penter maintained his lead for the j
Democratic nomination for United j
States Senator, but the heavy Omaha
vote, expected to go to J. C. Quigley,
chairman of the State Democratic
Central Committee, was not in.
Carpenter had 16.364 votes in 943
precincts to 12,229 for Quigley. State
Treasurer George E. Hall was running
third, close to Quigley. About a third
of the precincts had reported,
Robert G. Simmons, the Republican
senatorial nominee two years ago, won
the G. O. P. nomination again this
year, defeating his nearest rivals about
*4 to 1. A belated attempt to nomin
ate Senator George W. Norris for re
election was unsuccessful. In 793 pre
cincts he had 460 Democratic “write
ins” and in 765 precincts he had 178
Republican votes.
t Cochran Again Nominated.
Senator Edward R. Burke had vir
tually a 4.000-vote lead in the tight
tnree-cornered race for Democratic na
tional committeeman. He had 18.677
votes in 873 precincts, without the
Omaha totals, expected to be heavy
for Burke. Former Representative
Dan V. Stephens had 14,986 votes,
Carpenter, 12,403.
Gov R. L. Cochran, Democrat, and
Dwight Griswold again were nomin
ated to meet in the general guoerna
• toriol election in November. Griswold
twice has been the G. O. P. nominee
for Governor.
Three of Nebraska's Representa
tives—Karl Stefan. Republican; C. G.
Binderup. Democrat, and Harry B.
Coffee. Democrat—were renominated
without opposition, but Henry C. j
Luckey. Democrat, had a stiff tussle
to lead Foster May, radio announcer.
Mrs. Mabel Gillespie of Gretna re
duced an early lead held by Charles
F. McLaughlin, Democrat.
