MONTANA
Both Parties Claim the Election OF
Their Gubernatorial Candidate


Their Gubernatorial Candidate.
HELENA, Mont, Special Telegram,
Election returns are unusually slow coming
in and reports are az yet very unsatisfactory
Lewis and Clarke county will
Carter. Republican, for congress,
about 140 majority; Toole, Democratic, for
governor, 25O ajo1i;y, aud gives Repub-
llcan (estmated) senator and five out
OF eight representatives. The result in
Silver Bow and Deer Lodge counties is
doubtful, but both are thought to be Demo
cratic by small majorit1es. Park county will
give 800 Republican majority. Missoula
county is Republican by 100 20 200. Re
publicans claim Beaver Head by $50, Cas-
cade by $50. Choteau by rs, Custer by $50,
Dawson by so, Fergus by 100 to 200, and
Yellowstone by $50. Returns up to
10 o'clock tonight are very msager.
1t is safe prediction. how
ever, that Carter is elected and
that the Republicans have majority of the
legislature. Power, for governor, was at
last accounts 500 behind Toole, DEM, and
the the race between them will be close,
with the chances in favor Of Power. The
vote everywhere falls short of the regist1a-
lion, and the state will probably nos poll
the vote was 1858 an the head Of the
ticker, which is 20 per cent
less than the legislature, and over
200 less than last years vote. Later-Toole
claims he is elected. The Republicans claim
majority OF the state ticket. It will take
day or two yet to ascertain the general re-
suit The returns from Silver Bow and
Deer Lodge are the most anxiously expected.
The latest from Deer Lodge is that the
Democrats carry Anaconda and Carroll by
$50 majority, and in the outside precincts,
the Repu blicans have 526 majority as Tar as
heard from. The vote for the constitution
is large and almost unan imous.
SLOW AT BUTTE.
BUTTE, Mont, Special Telegram,
The Australian voting system was in use in
Tuesdays election and gives general salts
faction in it's operation as producing a quiet
and orderly election, but in the respect Of
obtaining results in any decent time, it is a
great disappointment In some of the cleo
ton precincts of this (Silver Bow county
the judges and clerks have been at work
since o'clock Tuesday night, and there is a
bare chance of their getting through by z
o'clock tomorrow morning. All there is to
go on at present is estlmatons The Repub-
county to the Democrats by at least 100
ma ority. 1t is so close that the fate of any
particular candidate is unknown yet and
will hardly be known till the official figures
are published. The change from last year will
make an apparent D emocratic gain of LOO
or ], 800 in this county alone. Intact, how
ever, it indicates the power of single cor
poration to change electoral results at will,
even with all the vaun.ed safeguards of the
secret ballot.
