ed, ittook several hours to get the result
and the crowd got tired waiting and went
to bed about one o'clock. Next year
when the county ticket is added, ballot
will be half yard long. Pembina by
a voting in four places got through their
count by half past nine. Mr.. Booke,
got all but four votes in his home ward
both he and Mr.. LaMoure can feel proud
of their home town vote. MIR. Booker

Il possible 32l. The prohibition vote il
decidedly supries party. The vote in
st. Thomas and Hamilton was sumner
1t is said that the rows among the thresh'
ers at st. Thomas the week preceding
the election is the cause of the heavy pro-
hibition vote there.
Mr.. Conmy's friends succeeded in
making trade that helps out his vote
muchly. Out in second district party
lines had no hold. Many of the Ice.
landers voting for both their countrymen
Bergman and Brynolfson. In other town.
ships these were both scratched to vote
for Norton and Stadelman. Norton got 9
fine complimentary vote in his own
home.
Templeton, for judge ,lruns way ahead
of his ticket, this was wrong in a party
sense, though Templeton is a popular
judge.
At this writing, Thursday noon, the
following seems to be about the result:
The territory has gone by about 900
majority, republican. Miller runs be-
hind the ticket thousand or more. Mr..
Booker runs ahead in most counties for
treasurer.
The vote OH prohibition is very close
and is likely to be for prohibition though
it may take several days to determine.
Ramsey county gave 200 majority for
prohibition, Grand Forks county 545 for,
Nelson county 200 for, Cavalier county
1G4 for, Steele county 10 for, Dlckey
county 500 for. The Black Hills and
Missouri slope will probable vote the
other way.
The constitution has been carried over
Grand Forks county, how
ever, giving nearly /, 200 majority against
it.
The judges elected are as follows: LIST
district, G. +. Temrleton, democrat; End
district, d. L. Morgan, republican; 3rd
W. b. Mcconnell. democrat; 4th
district, W. S. Lander, republican,; 5th
district, II. Rose, democrat; 9th district,
W. II. Winchester, republican.
The legislative returns are too incom-
plete to give certainties, but the demo-
Gratis will have from five to seven sena-
tors and from eight to twelve representa-.
tives.
South Dakota las gone republican
strong and for prohibition. Pierre seems
to lead in the race for capitol.
Montana is claimed by both parties
with the probabilities of democratic
governor, republican representative
and doubtful legislature.
Mr.. Booker got black eye IN Crystal
1t is said Mr.. Lord had done some person
al canvassing in that neighborhood. Mr.
Borden's good vote in Pcmbina is the re-
suit of his residence here and is very com
plimentary to him. Governor Milleri
vote was cut down by some anti prol,i
bitionists because ofhis known temper
ance sentiments. The best gauge of the
party vote is to take the vote OIL Flittie Of
Bray or some other of the state ticket il
which no local prejudice or sentiment il
shown. There are probably from
five to seven hundred voters in THU
county who did not vote. In some casel
teams were sent five miles for thresh
ing crews who refused to come in ant
vote. The democratic ballots read boil
"for" and against" the constitution ant
prohibition. As laage number of tnes,
were not scratched at all, they did no
count either way and accounts for til,
small vote on these subjects.
In the county we give complete an,
correct returns in all but three town
and in one partially. The returns t
come will not alter the result as shown
Prohibition will probably have over 2Ol
majority. Messrs. LaMoure and Appleton
will be next senators. Watt, Richardson
stadelman and Norton representatives.
MIR. Borden retains his office for another
year by small majority over LaPorte.
