Los Angeles, Aug, 29.
A sensationally easy victory for Upton Sinclair, world-famous Socialist novelist, in the hectic race for the Democratic nomination for the Governorship of California, is conceded by all his opponents.
With four-fifths of the votes counted, he has a lead which is virtually incapable of effective reduction.

furnished by a statement of Mr. Upton Sinclair soon
after his nomination became assured.
He announced that he is proceeding to Washington
to explain his EPIC Plan to President Roosevelt in an effort to coordinate the Plan with the New Deal
Sinclair retains his advantage of nearly two-to-one over Mr. George Creel, the Roosevelt-sponsored nominee for the Governorship, who his campaign OR
