teele County Vote
Election day dawnel rs bright and fair az
arc the prospects OF the incoming state Of
North Dakota and the other commonwealth
just passing over the territorial barriers into
statehood. This, however, did not tend to
have the effect Of getting out large vote,
for many Of our farmers who had not COM
peted their threshing and marketing of grain
or who were busy with their fall plowing or
other fall work, could hardly persuade Them
selves that it was more their duty to avail
themselves Of their political rights and take
q part in the termination of the exciting con-
test by expressing their opinion at the ballot
box, than it was to be caring for the farm af-
fairs when they had day 80 favorable for
laboring. On the whole, the vote throughout
the county was rather light, probably not
over Is per cent. OF the full vote being cast.
However, the full Republican ticket was car
rled by handsome majority, despite the in
dustrious efforts put forth by outside parties
both before and on election day to greatly
diminish, or wipe out the majorites of certain
candidates. As will be seen by figures we
publish herewith, majority Of the voters of
the county expressed their opinion adversely 10

nearly all of the state ticket, against Demo-
cratic vote of H. Wallin received 70 votes
and Bartholomew 66 on the judgship ballot.
while for the Office OF Railroad Commissioner

Clerk Of District court, 72 votes. The consti-
tuition got 3S votes while Al were cast against
its adoption. For the prchibitve clause, S6

The above figures gives the vote In Steele
county polled Tuesday, witho exception Of the
town Of Newbergh, which is reported to hava
given Newman vote Of TO.
Thursdays Argus claims that majority Of
the district have been cast against Newman,
and therefore that Judge Mcconnell is elected.
The Result in the States.
From information that can be CLEANED from
the daily papers it seems that the four new
states have elected tho Republican tickets by
large majorites In our own state the major
ity is estimated at 10000. with the Legislature
three fourths Republican. The state constitu-
ton was adopted by a large majority. The
prohibition clause was probably defeated.
In South Dakota the state is also carried BY
the Republicans and the constitution adopted
There are doubts as to which Of the two car.
ried-prohibition or high license, and the loca.
tion of the capital is still in doubt.
Montana was at first reported to have given
Republican majority but later reports seem
to indicate that the state went Democratic.
Washington elected the Republican state
ticket by majority estimated at 1000.
Here's three rousing cheers for the now Re-
publican states.
