the returns received up to that time

however, that the house is republican

Hennepin county, which has been
\ looked upon as Lind safeguard, has
gone back Oh him this year, and has
exceeded the hopes OF the most san
guine Republicans by the vote polled
for Van SAINT
In the other parts OF the state the
Van SAINT gains are steady and certain,
and point to victory for the Republican
| gubernatorial candidate
| The ST. Paul Globe still claims the
election OF Lind by about 5000, but
claims Hennepin county for Lind by
1000, when he lost it.
The Republican state central commit
tee still claims Minnesota for Van
SAINT by plurality OF $4,000.
They have tabulated returns from 4S9
precincts in the state outside OF Hen
nepin county, and these give the fol-
lowing:
Van SAINT, 42,66S.
Lind, 1884
Van SAINTS plurality, o,Io4
First district returns indicate that
Van SAINT will run close up to the es-
innate OF 5000 made for him there
Second district reports tend to show
that Van SAINT will carry that district
by good majority.
Third district reports to date confirm
estimates OF not less than 1900 plu-
rality for Van SAINT there.
So far as received indications for the
fourth district are that Lind has carried
it by about 1000.
The fifth district will give Van SAINT
at least 1000.
Reports from the sixth are so meagel
as to make an estimate impossible.
Lind is falling behind his 1898 plu.
rality in the seventh district
But Chairman Rosing OF the Demo,
cratic stat central committee makes
out pi e claim for the election
OF Lind received returns up to 6
a. M ircl.: ISL OF the states 1900 ode
precincts These gave Lind 1887
votes a. Van SAINT 1922. But they
are mo in the southern part of the
state AS compared with the Clough.
Lind vote in 1896 Lind falls off o2c
from 1921, and Van SAINT 2,44I from
1858. Ii this relative ratio OF los:
should be maintained throughout the
state, Lind would beat Van SAINT by
about $4,000,
Minneapolis, Nov. mckinley.
plurality in the state OF Minnesota will
be approximately $4,000, as all return:
received UP to date outside of Ramsey
and Hennepin counties show an aver
|
approximately so per cent.
I 1t is difficult as we go to press to give
any absolutely definite estimate on gov
ernor, largely owing to the fact that
there are practically no returns in from
Hennepin county. In 90 Lind left the
Twin Cities with an approximate ma
jcrity OF 700; Cough overcame this
majority in the country and had 5000
to spare. Ramsey county has given
Lind approximately 700 plurality.
1t IS expected that Hennepin county
will give Van SAINT plurality OF at least
. 200, and send him to the country at
least without any plurality against him
in the Twin Cities.
II SO his plurality should be approx.
matcly 5000 as all returns in to date
give him 10 per cent increase over
Clough's plurality in 90.
AT O'Clock this morning the repub
lican and democratic state chairmer
were each claiming the election of theiI
same plurality.
Chairman Rosing, of the democratic
committee, is a trife more optimistic
saying that Lind's plurality will be
$1,000. Chairman Bixby, of the repub.
lican state committee, has not receded
!: from his original estimate of from
10000 to $4,000 for Van SAINT
These facts alone are sufficient to
show that the result is in considerable
doubt. The final outcome is all the
more difficult to predict because of the
manner in which the vote varies in
different parts OF the state/ Governor
Lind has made gains in places least
expected: and Capt. Van SAINT has
