ST PAUL, Nov. 4.-Returns come in
slowly from the country. only few small
precincts being received. These indi cate
a much larger total vote than two years
ago. and the maioritles are proportiOnately
reduced, There is much scratching of all
leading candidates. Pillsbury, Republican,
for governor, falls beh ind his ticket in
most precincts, but runs ahead largely in
few. Gilman, Republican, for lieutenant
governor, generally runs ahead, 1t is not
likely the average majorities on the state
ticket will much exceed 10000, though
returns from large interior towns may
materially increase the Republican vote.
Some few precincts in the south of the
state, where the bulk of the vote is cast,
snow large Republican gains. In St.
Paul, Rice, Democrat, for governor, is
/
large majority, probably 900. though
the great amount of scratching makes the
count slow. In Minneapolis, Pllsbury s
home, the full vote stands: Pillsbury.
Republican, 2,sl5; Rice. Democrat. 555.
