Gore Wins in Oklahoma Norris Nominated
United Press reports two poor men won major victories in Oklahoma and Ohio among five primaries shaping national elections. Thomas Pryor Gore, blind former senator, was chosen by Democrats to face Republican W. S. Pine in Oklahoma. William Murray, calling himself commoner, was picked to oppose Tra. A. Hill for governor, with both Gore and Murray defeating wealthy rivals by large margins. Regular Democrats in Alabama named John H. Bankhead to oppose Heflin, while the gubernatorial race remained tight between Miller and Davis. Prohibition affected results as Southern voters backed wet candidates and Democrats nominated Robert J. Bullsley and George W. White to face incumbents Roscoe McCulloch and Myers Y. Copel. Robinson faced opposition in Arkansas but remained the Democratic choice. The Nebraska battle centered on Norris’s strong lead toward the GOP nomination, and Gilbert Hitchcock led a crowded Dem field for the Senate.
