Governor Homes Piles Up Downstate Margin Over City Rival
CHICAGO April 14—<U.R>—President Roosevelt received an overwhelming complimentary vote in Illinois today judging from the huge Democratic primary vote east.
Early returns point to a Democratic vote of approximately 1,500,000. Mr. Roosevelt was unopposed in the primary.
The Republican vote in the state probably reached 800,000. divided between Frank Knox and Sen. William E. Borah.
CHICAGO. April 14— <C.E>—Frank Knox, Chicago publisher, led Senator William E. Borah of Idaho by a wide margin at mid-evening tonight in returns from the Republican presidential preference primary.
Knox voters were heavily preponderant in returns from Chicago precincts while scattered returns from-downstate gave Borah an edge.
In 1.029 precincts, mostly Chicago, returns gave: Knox, 54.098; Borah 32 811.
Governor Homer Leads
In the Democratic gubernatorial contest Gov. Henry Homer appeared slated for renomination, although he trailed in Chicago precincts. But his vote downstate, where returns were slow, piled up tremendously over that of Dr. Herman N. Bundesen, regular candidate of Chicago’s Kelly-Nash organization.
In 1.808 of the state’s 7,430 precincts the vote was: Bundesen, 261.953; Horner. 192,990.
On the basis of these returns Homer predicted victory by 100,000 votes.
Dr. Bundesen Has Edge
Chicago precincts gave Dr. Herman N. Bundesen, regular Democratic machine candidate for the gubernatorial nomination, an early lead over Gov. Henry Horner, seeking renomination. If maintained, the lead would increase to about 125,000 in machine-dominated Cook county, probably insufficient to overcome the lead Homer was expecting downstate.
In 402 Chicago precincts Bundesen received 58,165 votes and Horner 41,624.
But Homer was getting a swamping downstate vote. Two Sangamon county precincts gave him 143 votes, Bundesen 14. A Rock Island county precinct gave Homer 113, (Continued on page four)

Author To Talk To Epsilon Phi
Hitler wrote for it.
Groucho Marx posed for it.
George Arliss cried for it.
And it’s here at last!
Harking back to the gloriously funny days of yore, the Newest and absolutely Greatest Wampus appeared on campus today in the hands of student salesmen who, it is expected, will report a “sellout” of the Fraud number.
“It’s sublime,” admitted Worth Larkin and Phil Juergens, assistant editors of the humor magazine, who were in charge of editing the new number. “It’s by far the best Wampus to appear this year, and as good as any that have ever been published.”
Twenty-eight pages, packed /rom
front to back and four ways from the jack with humor—sometimes subtle, sometimes Wasting—make up the contents of the Fraud number, so named because it is a bigger 15 cents’ worth than any Wampus yet issued.
Outstanding among the new number’s attractions is the double-page of candid camera photographs, snapped by Jack “Snoop” Warner, picturing the “happy coUege student at work and play.”
“S.C. students will certainly be seeing themselves as others see them,” was Larkin’s comment as he thumbed the pages of the magazine lovingly. “And will some of them be surprised! We were ourselves,” he added candidly.
Big names—names that are internationally known — feature the Fraud number. Groucho Marx, famed dictator, was caught in a frank pose with Adolf Hitler, prominent motion picture comedian, and their photo graces the cover.
The true, throbbing story of George Arliss, “Up From Bloomsbury—and Down Again,” told by that veteran actor and set down in flaming phrases by W. “Smeed” Roberts, will doubUess hold the interest of every coed, and every male student, too, who was bom with the finer instincts. Mr. Arliss relates the sordid story of his climb to glory and of his love for a woman who betrayed him.
“Tha Wampus retains exclusive
rights to the Arliss story,” warned Juergens, “and nobody may reprint any portion of it without written permission from the Wampus staff.” In addition, the assistant editors pointed out, they are offering valuable prizes for the solution of a novel crossword puzzle; “Success in Four Years,” an illustrated article explaining the fame of various campus celebrities, is also included; the 10 outstanding frauds in modem dance orchestras have been listed; the Veterans of Future Wars, rep-idly growing youth organization, is given prominent display; and there are many, many jokes and cartoons for those who tire easily of longer articles.
