vote than the Republican.
Nebraska's Republicans chose
Dwlght Griswold, Gordon newspaper
publisher, for the gubernatorial nom
inatlon, but the Democratic contest
was in doubt with R. L. Cochran
ahead.
In Arkansas, Governor J. Marlon
Futrell apparently won the Demo
crotic nomination for a second term,
while In Idaho Governor C. Ben Ross,
Democrat, the first chief executive
to campaign for a third term, was
far ahead of his nearest competitor.
Frank L. Stephan, former state attor
ney general, was ahead in the race
for the Republican nomination.
