the Associated Press) United

night gave the Associated Press a
statement of gratification of the
outcome of Tuesday's primary.
On the face of virtually complete
returis, the senator has defeated j
Breckinridge Long, formerly third
assistant secretary of state by
more than 5,000 votes for the
Democratic senatorial nomination.
Stating the contest has been
"Somewhat heated." the senator
emphasized his position would be
to c!oe party wounds. The arch
enemy of the league of nations,
who was repudiated by his party
two years ago, was elated highly
when assured by the Associated
Press that his plurality would ex
ceed 5,000.
The senator was - reluctant to
make a statement, in view of the
fact that Mr. Long has made no
