ELECTION NOTES.

conclusion until the oniclal canvas,
is made. +.
The PIONEER EXPRESS office ha,
been crowded ever since Wednesday
morning. OF course this has not ad.
ded to the facilities of getting out q
paper this week.
Indications are that we have polled
the largest county vote in our history.
The republican vote for the state
Officers has made again almost the
whole increase. The vote of 1892 for
congress was johnson 1913, O'Brien
COL, Foss e97. This year the figures
for the whole county will be about
as follows johnson 1850, Muir 1870,
Reeve 40, Ellis 60. Allln will run
100 or more ahead Of johnson,
the balance of state ticket il
about the same.
The fight between Miss Bates and
Mrs. Eisenhuth 10 particular interest
ing on account Of the interest taken
BY the ladies. Mrs. Eisenhuth will
probably have $50 majority in this
county. But II the ladies turned out
and vote in the state as expected
there is no doubt of Miss Bates cleo.
tion. In.thls county out Of about
ZOO votes, received at this writing,
the indication are of 800 votes were
cast BY women.
In the county seat fight, Cavalier
fails BY about 800 of getting the
necessary two-thirds. The vote for
Hamilton and Neche was much small
or than expected. Pembina had no
workers out except in a few nearby
precincts.
In the blind asylum contest, Bath
gate wins hands down. We have in
the weeks before pointed out why.
A glance ut the table in this issue
will show whore Bathgate got her
vote, and the impartiality shown by
Bathgate in sharing up her vote in re.
turn. In fact 90 evenly is 1t done, Is
for Pembina, 72 for Cavalier and 81
for Hamilton, 1t almost looks as the
ballots must have been marked after
they were counted, and neither town
interested will say thank you for the
nice division melted out.
Perhaps the most disappointing
vote was that Of Mr.. Donovan, In his
own township Of Neche and st. Jo-
seph. The trouble was q local feud
between the French and Irish which
mostly originated during the Catholic
fair. II this fact had been generally
known, Mr.. Joy would have been cleo
ted by . good majority.
Mr.. Taxpayer" will not be deputy
register these two next years. Mr..
Anderson will still be the efficient
and curteous head of the registers
ONCE.
Perhaps the greatest satisfaction to
The average taxpayer In the fact that
su candidates running were good
men, and no matter what the politics
II the successful ones the county af.
airs will be in efficient hands.
The legislative contest between
dessrs Horgan and Mansel seems to
ave been decided largely by local
preference, and Mr.. Horgan lives in
he vicinity Of the biggest vote.
Pembina gave st. Thomas Sc votes
or blind asylum and st. Thomas
ave Pembina II votes for county seat.
Pembina polled 3e4 votes on the |
ounty seat vote, Cavalier 800, st.
thomas 237. and Bathgate 2s7. Penn.
ina cast 906 republican votes for con.

In the county, a. expected, Judge
'emplston runs away ahead Of his
lcket, getting almost a. many as|
9th his competitors. Out Of about
900 votes, Templeton has 1l2e, Bar.
holomen $40, Newton $40. The lat
