Governor Van SAINTS plurality over Ros-

The total vote for Van SAINT will come
very close to his vote of 1900, which was
1000. In the counties so far heard from,
ROsing's vote IS almost third less than
Lind received in 1900, which was 150, 900.
This would bring Rosing's. vote. down

The vote in the country districts was
light, but Governor Van SAINT did not suf-
fer. Instead Of trailing his associates on
the state ticket. he gets more than the
party vote in many, counties, and seems
likely to lead them all. Many democrats
and populists scratched Rosing and voted
for Van SAINT This was especially true
in the seventh and ninth districts, but
Van SAINT also gained in the second, sixth
and eighth.
Hennepin county, with twenty-seven
precincts to hear from, is estimated at
5000 for Van SAINT. His vote will be prac-

John Lind. ........: ............. lS'e4o
Loren Fletcher. ............ 1924
Congressman Loren Fletcher's retire
ment was one of the features of the cleo
ton which created the widest comment.
AS a politician, Mr.. Fletcher was a man
admittedly hard to beat for his political
devices have been various and successful.
When he came into the campaign this year
he was crippled by the loss Of one of the
most faithful managers who ever handled
a political fight, and there is little doubt
that Stephen Loyejoy's death, just at the
beginning Of the, contest, - contributed
somewhat to the passing Of Mr.. Fletcher.
On the other hand, John, Lind is an astute
Politician man of one idea-when that
idea means the getting of an office. And
once the nominations were made, the Vot-
ing population understood well that it was
a battle Of giants. 4. .....- s .-,..
! Early in%the returns it became appar-s
ent that Mr.. Lind had the edge on Your
Uncle Loren" Mr. Fletcher and his
friends. however, pointed to the fact that
the early reports came largely from demo-
cratic strongholds, and naturally gave Mr.
Lind the advantage. They said wait for
the country. .!
But when the country vote began to be
received Mr.. Lind's majority had mounted
up to over 1000, and 1T became apparent
that the country districts would have to
vote more strongly for Fletcher than had
Towns and villages 1856 1904 259e 1.245
lead. The figures from most of the coun-
try districts showed that Mr.. Fletcher had
gained an advantage Of only 800, and with
practically all the city in there was moth
ing to do but to admit defeat. =
Mr.. Lind not only polled the full demo-
cratic strength in democratic wards. but
cut into Fletcher's strength seriously in
! republican strongholds. While he did not
succeed in carrying any republican ward,
he did establish a new record for a demo-
cratic candidate in this district, and it is
to this fact, as we'll as to his straight out
democratic support that he owes his cleo
ton.

P. Flower, in democratic landslide de-
feated J. Sloat Fassett for governor in
the face Of republican claims for an easy
victory, there has not been such an over
turning Of votes from the republican to
the democratic party in this state as that
which occurred yesterday.
Every democratic, prediction Of sweeping
majorities was carried out below the
Bronx. The claims Of $4,000 for the
Greater New York district were more
than verified but the claims for Erie, AL
bany and Rensselaer, were not responded
to and the failure to realize democratic
hopes in these counties removed all
chance Of Coler's election. .>
With a registration 4 per cent below
that of two years ago, the democratic
party in the Greater New York district
showed a gain in voting power in ma
jority of the counties of over 40 per cent
and this tremendous gain was met and
defeat for the republicans averted by the
also quite remarkable fact that several
Of the republican upstate counties gave
Odell larger pluralities than In 1900, while
several others equalled their plurality OF
that presidential year. Over its combined
vote in the state two years ago, the DEM
ocratic party gained at least 35 per cent
and the republican party lost 40 per cent

Two places on the state ticket 5contin-
ued in doubt to-day-the attorney gener-
alship and a justiceship of the court OF
appeals, it appearing that the democratic
candidates for those Offices had run well
above Odell, Cunneen for attorney gem
eral. because he was Endorsed by the
prohibitionists, and Gray, for the court
Of appeals, on account of the fact that
many republicans supported him.
For congress nineteen republicans and
seventeen democrats were elected, with
one district in doubt. In the present con-
twelve democrats. To-day's estimates are
that the new state senate would stand
thirty republicans and twenty democrats
and the assembly eighty republicans and
sixty-one democrats.
Although the unofficial reports from the
state apparently showed Odelis re-elec
ton by about 10000 plurality, Mr.. Coier,
his democratic opponent, refused to-day
to concede defeat. declaring that he
wished to walt for the official count of
the vote. Mr.. Coler's statement, which
indicated that he was not satisfied with
the returns as received 80 far, contained
the following:
Suppose the democratic ticket had re-
ceived. say, in the neighborhood of 100000
ajority in Greater New York, there was
nothing to have stopped the republicans
from claiming the upper section of the
state by at least 100000
This declaration by Mr.. Coler was fol-
lowed by rather sensational announce
ment from Secretary Mason of the state
democratic committee that he refused to
concede Odelrs election; that fraud had
robbed Coler of many votes up the state.
and that Senator Hill and Chairman
Campbell Of the state committee would
come to New York this evening to decide
on a plan Of action. About the time these
statements appeared. rumor was circu
lated that Coler intended to make a con-
test in the courts, and simultaneously the
Evening Journal issued an extra edition
declaring that former Senator Hill, Charles
r. Murphy and Hugh Mclaughlin claimed
Colers election. This report, together

MINNESOTA
SENDS EIGHT
John Lind the Only Break in the Re-
publican Delegation to
Congress.
Buchanan Wins by 1000 in the
Sixth-All the Other Dis
tricts One-Sided.

John Linds election does not result in
any net loses to the republicans in con-
gress, taking Minnesota as whole. In
1900 Minnesota elected seven republicans,
this year there are eight republicans and
one democrat returned.
Best returns available from the sixth
district indicate that G. b. Buchanan wins
by something over 1000. John Boobar,
his campaign secretary, claims that he
wins by 1900 to 1000. Du BoiS has not
conceded his defeat as yet.
All the other districts are one sided.
James A. Tawney seems to have carried
every county in the first district, and his
committee claims 1000 plurality. They
give the following pluralities by counties:
Houston, 665; Fillmore, 1900 Freeborn,
14O0; Mower, 100; Waseca, 100; Steele,
500; Dodge, 500; Olmsted, 900; Winona,
400 Wabasha '21S. This gives Tawney
6,993.
STEVENSON Wins by 5000.
Halvor Stevenson has apparently won
by at least 5000, and will get as many
votes as his two competitors combined IN
the ninth district. Twenty-four precincts

On the face Of returns early to-day,
while Judge Werner, the republican can
didate for Judge Of the court of appeals.
had run ahead OF his ticket in many Of
the counties up the state, the fact that
Judge Gray, the democratic nominee, ran
is. 900 ahead OF his ticket In New York
city would seem to indicate the latter s
election, but it may take the official can
vass to decide the matter.
In the case Of Mr.. Cowan. the republican
nominee for attorney general, almost the
same condition prevails, it not being pos
sible to determine as yet whether the
prohibition ballots upon which the name
of John Cunneen the democratic nominee,
was printed were sufficient in number to
elect Cunneen This also may have to be
determined by official count.
While the democrats have gained three
and possibly four members in the senate
and about fifteen In the assembly, the
legislature is safely republican, ensuring
the election of a republican to succeed
