Governor Van SAINTS plurality over Ro-
sing Is figured at 55,907.
This Is based on complete returns from
every county but Cook, which casts less
than 200 votes. Most Of the county re-
turns are official. The figures place Gov
ernor Van SAINTS total vote at 155,204 and
Rosing's at t99,297.
The vote for minor candidates for gov
ernor has not been received. From re-
ports from several of the large populist
counties 1t does not seem likely that
Meighen's vote will go over 5000, which
would leave Van SAINT $4,000 ahead Of his
two principal competitors. The prohi-
bitionist and socialist candidates may re-
duce him to 10000 over all-the largest
majority given governor of Minnesota
in the history Of the state.
Governor Van SAINT received practically
the same vote cast for the nine republican
candidates for congress. Their total vote
will exceed his by about $500, but the
total plurality will figure about the same.
in the ninth district, the opposition scored

dates got 157.799. The republican candi-
dates lead by $3.50, or about 500 less than
