FRANK uSH ELECTED.

Gish an Overwhelming Vote, His Majori-
ty in the County Being About Zoo. No.
no and Miss Saunders Are Also Elected
BY a Big Vote.
Tuesdays vote was a surprise to many
Stark county citizens. Frank Lish, for
the legislature, showed himself to be a
strong man, much stronger than had
been expected by those who had not paid
any attention to affairs in the county.
Miss Ida Saunders also surprised many.
Her plurality in Dickinson was 1914 and
most gratifying to her many friends.
She is capable and will make a good sup
erintendent. Chas. Kono made a ruin
that was not expected when he entered
the race. 1t was a handsome endorse
ment of his past term, which has been
economical, and with his experience al
ready in office MI. Kono will be better
able than ever to serve the public. At
this writing MI. Kono has as many votes
as both of his opponents and two more
precincts to hear from. Us. White, for
treasurer, who was very little known in
parts of the county, had hard opposition
in L. L. Lewis and Paul Hagerman, but
his plurality will be 100 or more. Mr..
Hagerman made a remarkably good run
in several precincts. Guy DeFrance and
John Riessbeck had a close run. The
former had lthe advantage of a regular
nomination on the republican ticket,
while the latter had the advantage of
knowing the German language. Mr..
Riessbeck went into the Oakdale and
Frank Banks precincts with a plurality
of IS. H. F. Hatch has a majority rang
ing around 100. L. A. Simpsons ma
jority is about II. Judge Campbell gets
his usual majority, although M. H. Lins-
ley had the largest vote in Dickinson.
Mr.. Linsley did not make any effort to
get the Office. Theo. Hartung had a
good majority for assessor in the grid dis.
trict. G. E. Vinnedge seems to have won
out in the End and John Flynn in the 1st.
The republican justices and constables
were all elected. Geo. w. Lee for COM
missioner, James G. Saunders for clerk
of court, and R. S. Brookings for survey.
or, had no opposition. Fred Zellers has
a comfortable majority.
Full returns are not in, but as near as
can be estimated the republican state
ticket received a majority of $50, about
30 less than the majority of two years
ago. This is due to Frank Lish's being
on the ticket. A few Creel stickers were
worked in Dickinson and one or two 9TH
er precincts, which caused Spalding to
run behind his ticket IS or 20 votes.
Halland was cut a little in some of pre-
cincts, but on the whole, including the
lady vote, stands about even.
Some people are inclined to blame A.
c. McGillivray for Alfred Whites losses.
Allowing that McGillivray did work
against white, and we believe he does
not deny it, he was not the means OF
%electing Lish. OF course McGillivray
has his friends and was undoubtedly sue.
cessful in turning votes against White,
but Lish was abundantly able to take
care of himself. The vote proves this
statement. No other mar in
district could have made tht lat
Frank Lish made.
At the time of going to press Oakdale
precinct in Stark county, precinct in
Billings and all but two precincts in
Mercer were yet to be heard from on the
legislative vote. Out Of these. Lish has
a majority of some $50 which will be
hard to overcome.
