Indicate that the Republican party
won t: grand victory in yesterday y
fight, and the free silver craze has
received knock out blow from
which it will never recover.
Reports are not all in from this
state but it is claimed, and with
good reasons, to be safely under the
old banner Of the G. o. p. by 35 900
majority. ~
There is every indication that tie
Republicans have elected all Of the
seven congressman in this. state.
There is said to be a close fight In
the Seventh district, with the
chances much in favor of Congress
man Eddy the Republican candidate.
In the Sixth district Towne has
conceded Page Morris elected by
about 5000. Morris made large
aims in Stearns county and Towne,
of course. accounts for it by fraud.
Despite the great fight put up by
Towne and his supporters. Morrison
county will give Page Morris q
majority. n n
seventeen out OF twenty-six pre-
cincts in Morrison county gives Nc
Kinley 1923 and Bryan 1928. and
although there are several Demo-
cratic towns to hear from, Mckinley
will carry this county by ut least
300. ~

Page Morris receives 1854, to Towne
1,O9S, and has u majority that
Towne cannot possibly overcome. 5

per cent behind the national ticket,
and it is Il close contest in this
county between him and Lind. His

reasonable to, conclude, that as
everything else has gone Republican

Gratis have conceded the defeat OF
Boss Geissel's boy, Kasparek. jim

in the returns now in, that the
Democrats cannot change.
The contest between Harding and
Meyer for county treasurer, is very
close, and it is possible that the
latter may crawl in by narrow
margin. From the precincts heard
from Harding was in the neighbour
hood of 200 ahead, with Two Rivers
and Buh, Democratic strongholds
to hear from. II Meyer is elected his
majority will not he over so, if it
reaches that number.
There is also close contest be-
tween j. H. Rhodes and +. w. Lyon
for county attorney. Mr.. Rhodes

whole ticket, and neglected his
personal interests in the campaign

foothold in Minnesota. Lyons cleo

superintendent of schools, but was
given a close race by Mr.. Aver.
Nels Peterson. candidate for coun-
ty surveyor, is probably defeated by
H. s. Clyde. Mr.. Peterson, as city
