their giddiest moments of anticipat-
ing success, they had no idea that
the election would result in such an
overwhelming victory. In this
county it is now conceded that hey
have everything in sight. Their Joy
has been accelerated to a high degree
by the reports from all parts of the
country which everywhere indicate
Democratic victory.
Here in Little Falls great deal
Of interest was conferred in the result
of yesterdays election. It was the
first time in the history of Morrison
county that a full ticket had been
placed in the field and it looked as if
| a partial victory would be wrested
from the hands of the Democrats.
It proved to be otherwise, however.
While they accept defeat with the
best grace possible, the Republicans
| are in no wise disheartened but are
determined that when the next
opportunity arises they will close up
their ranks and again give battle to
their old time opponents.
The returns which have been
received from the county, are in q
! great measure indefinite. The result
| in most cases can be obtained on the
county officers, but the state, legis
lative' and national ticket is very
indefinite. This is due almost entirely
to the failure OF thejudges of election
to make copy of the reports before
sealing them and turning them over
to the auditor.
Enough is known, however to
insure the election of the Democratic
county officers.
With the legislative ticket the
matter is still in doubt to certain
extent, but it is almost certain that
the Republican ticket is carried with
Il good majority. This fact is con-
coded by most of the Democrats.
AS far as the county commissioner
ship is concerned it is conceded that
w. H. Jones has carried the first
district over Shimmerhorn and
RasicOt.
In the third district the race
between George LaFond and Martin
Scott is very close and the result is
hard to tell at this writing. From
all that CAN be gathered the in
dicatiOns are that Scott is elected by
a small majority.
Dennis Sheedy, in the fifth district,
is elected without a doubt overJ ohm
McRae.
The reports as far as received are
summarized as follows:
