Minnesota.
ST. PAUL, Nov. 3,-Both republican and
democratic chairmen are s~anguine and each
is predicting 25. 900 plurality for his party.
The fight has been principally on governor,
the democrats putting in their best efforts
to elect L. A. Rosing and virtually con
ceding the rest of the ticket to the repub-
lican locals. This fact will certainly re-
duce the vote for Governor Van SAINT below
the rest OF the state ticket, but whether
It will be sufficient to defeat him is very
uncertain.
The legislature will have a large repub-
lican majority in both branches.

various sources tonight indicate that ]. Ed
ward Addicks will be unable to control the
next Legislature. William Michael Byrne.
the union (Addicks) republican nominee
for congress predicts a combined Tepub-
licsn majority in the legislature. with a
deadlock on the senatorship. but with the
ultimate election Of two United States sem
ators. The regular republican chairman
disputes this claim. and says the Addicks
faction will elect not more than sixteen

Bryant, chairman of the republican state
central committee, estimates Governor Ia
Follett's plurality at 40, 900. The republican
managers claim ten congressman and one
IN doubt. while the democrats are sure o
one and claim a lighting chance for three
others. 1t is generally conceded that the
republicans will control the next legislature
which elects a senator.
