Broussard as United States Senator shows that Edward Gay is leading over L. E. Hall by over 10,000 majority and that the race between Hall and Overton is so close that it will be necessary to have complete figures to decide which of the two will be in the second primary with Mr. Gay. The greatest surpiise of the election was the great majority which New Orleans gave Mr. Gay, being 13,200. Rural districts weree led to believe that Gov. Holl would get a big vote despite the regular organization there. Unofficial returns from half the state including the of ficial vote of New Orleans, give Gay 32,000; Hall, 21,000; and Overton, 14,000.
