M. Nixon (R) for U.S. senator in
California in November.

vance. 1
But Warren's tremendous show
ing in the democratic race while
winning a walk-away third term
republican nomination came as a
surprise to some politicians, des
pite the fact that the 1948 GOP
vice-presidential nominee won
both nominations four years ago.
Power of Name .
This time Warren had to buck
the Roosevelt name and a 1,000,000
edge in democratic over republican
res gistra tion.
The final count may not be
known until tonight (Thursday).
But as reports came in from 1273
of the state's 18,022 precincts,
Roosevelt had only a 655,028 to
507.665 edge on Warren in the
democratic race, although his mar
gin was gradually rising.
At the tun Roosevelt claimed
the nomination he was ahead by
only 13,000 votes.
Margin Nlne-to-One
Warren's margin in the GOP
race was around nine-to-one, or
758,197 to 83,197. His total in both
primaries hovered around seven-to-four
over Roosevelt, Democrat
ic officials in Washington inter
preted this as a fairly big hurdle
for Roosevelt in November, des
pite the big edge in democratic
registration.
Warren campaigned on his state
record and said he would not make
any "pie-in-the-sky" promises that
would plunge the state into the
red as he charged the Roosevelt
nrogram would do. Roosevelt, Los
Angeles insurance broker, attacked
the governors handling of unem
ployment, school and pension prob
