There has been so much confusion and
disagreement by the papers Of the state in
making up the list of legislatOrS-elect that
the public is likely to be misled. The
GLOBE has given the only correct and ac-
curate list yet printed-in its issue of Nov.
1O-and will stake is reputation for relia-
bility Ola the fact that it will tally exactly
with the Official roll call on the day of the
cOnvenng of the legislature, with one
trIfing exception. which does not alter the
political complexion. This in the Forty
first district, where Wilson, Rep, was
elected instead of Peterson. Rep. This
was due to the fact that the telegram
stated that one Republican candidate was
defeated. and it was impossible to tell
whether it was Peterson or Wilson. With
this substitution the list is as accurate as if
it was official. and can be depended upon.
The Pioneer Press has printed three lists
since election. none of which have been
correct. When the list was printed the
second time it was claimed to
be complete. and it was stated
that the Republican majority on joint bal
lot was "a. The GLOBE table, on the same
day, showed the Republican majority Oh
joint ballot to be 50, and this is just what
it is to day. Yesterday the Pioneer Press
printed another list which contained more
errors than before. Its foOtingS were: Re-
pubiicans (Senate and house, 101; Demo
Gratis. Al; Alliance. From this it figures
out majority of As for the Republicans on
joint ballot By what process does it each
this conclusion? The figures would show
50. In getting the total membership of
$50, however, there are several glaring er-
Ors. Farmers alliance and Independent
candidates are classified as Republicans in
a number of instances. These members
may have Republican predictions in SOME
cases. but there is no authority for classify
ing them with the Republicans. They wele
elected iD opposition to regular Republican
nominees. They should rightfully be CLASH
fed as opposition until a ballot on party
issue determines their political standing.
The errors in the Pioneer Press
table are as follows: A. A. Williams. in
the Fifth district, is classified as a Repub-
Iican. He ran as a Farmers alliance can
didate, supported by the Democrats, and
defeated }. p. Burke, the regular Repub-
ican nominee. j. F. Shoemaker in the
Seventh. ran as an independent and de-
feated the Republican candidate. p.
Hawes. Ignatious DOnnelly is placed in
the Republican column. He ran as peo-
pies and farmers candidate. j. A. Ame-
son. of Minneapolis, was on both the
Democratic and Republican tickets. but he
is a Democrat in politics. He was the rep
resentative of the labor element. Otto
Walmark in the Thirty eighth. was an in
dependent or peoples candidate. He de-
feated John Shalleen. the present Repub-
Ican senator from that district. NJ. A.
WaIan, III the FOrty-tirst district ran on
the Farmers alliance ticket with George
W. Thacker. Wallan defeated Peterson,
Republican. and Thacker defeated Thor
son, Republican. Why should any of
these members be placed in the Republican
column? The GLOBES figures. printed on
the 10th, are absolutely correct. They
show: Senate-Republicans, 20; Demo-
Gratis, Is; Independent and Farmers al
lance, 5. House-Repubicans %; DEM
ocrats. "a: Independent and Farmers al
lance. 4. On JOINT ballot: Republicans,
81; Democrats and opposition. So; Repub-
lican majority, IS. The GLOBE would not
waste so much space upon this only that it
is all important matter. and the people
ought to know where to get reliable news.
