Popular.
The political fight Tuesday showed
that one OF the most hotly contested
elections ever held in the county was
gong on. The result is victory for the
republican ticket from end to end, al
though the majorlties in some cases will
be small. It was a good natured elec-
tion, notwithstanding the tall hustling
that was under way. A full vote was
polled, not known voter having re.
mained away from the polls in several
precincts where the rustlers were keep
ing tally. There we're few illegal votes
offered, but number of challenges were
made.
As a rule, the republicans voted
straight except in the city, but the dem
ocrats cut and sashed at lively rate
and succeeded in greatly helping the re-
publican candidates. AS consequence,
there Is much bitter feeling among dem
ocats who were knitted by their friends,
and Joy among the republicans. The re-
publican county ticket was composed Of
strong men, against whom nothing could
or had been said. They called for the
full republican vote on their own merits
and evidently got it:
There we're several curious features OF
the city vote on state senator, the contest
on which was the hottest of all. In the
First and Fourth wards Fuller, republi.
can, was defeated by Lutz, democrat.
These are strong republican wards. In
the Second and Third wards Fuller ran
ahead of Lutz. These have always been
strong democratic wards and the change
in sentiment is the subject of general
remark. Democrats claim that fully 100
republican tickets were cast by demo-
Gratis against Lutz, and this DETECTION is
the cause of his defeat by a small ma
jority, as we'll as that of several demo-
cratic candidates. Many of the railroad
employees voted for the republican ticket
who have heretofore been known as
democratic voters.
In the majority of the country pre-
cincts the vote was an increase of
republican strength and showed that
hard work had been done there as we'll
as IN the city. The republicans were
we'll organized, as were the democrats
aud both sides left nothing undone.
WHAT THE FIGURES SHOW.
The Harrison electors have 95 plural
ity in Jamestown, johnson for congress
100 plurality, and Burke s3 majority.
The country precincts, with few ex-
ceptions, have not reported the vote on
these officers. but the republican county
ticket is considerable ahead and it IS
thought the state ticket will leave Stuts-
man county with small plurality.
Shortridge and Nomland lead the fusion
ticket in several precincts.
Fuller, Wright and Boynton are con-
ceded to be elected to the legislature,
and the balance of the straight republi-
can ticket-Eddy, Roper. Vennum, Nc
Elroy. Branch, Glaspell, Baldwin, Wan
ner, Wright, Severn, Beaumont and
Gleason-come out with flying colors.
VOTE IN NORTH DAKOTA.
Chairman Spaulding of the republican
state committee wires that from the few
returns received Burke is elected by a
small majority. Returns coming in
slowly. Defeat of Booker probable.
Fargo city gave Burke 500 majority;
county precincts It is believed will cut
this down to $50.
Bismarck. Entire republican ticket,
with one exception, elected IN Burleigh
county.
Cooperstown-Ni precincts give M.
N. johnson 155, O'Brien 39, Foss ll5,
Burke lO9, Shortridge 178. Remaining
precincts will increase republican vote.
A dispatch from Lockhart, candidate
for railroad, commissioner, at Ellendale,
says that Shortridge and independents
have carried Dickey county.
ELECTION ECHOES.
The count in the city was not COM
pleted till 2:3O a. m.
The straight republicans were jubilant
last night over the county victory.
About dozen votes we're cast for the
prohibition electors in Jamestown.
There was good deal of money up IN
jamestown on the result, and the win
ners are happy today.
There we're no vest pocket votes, but
the ballots will doubtless represent the
personal convictions Of the electors just
the same.
