| FARGO, N. D.-The indications are
that the total vote in, North Dakota will
! not be more than 20 per cent of the last
election. There Is a large Increase in the
| number OF voters, but 1t Is an off year,
and the state campaign Is not an excit-
ing one. The total vote for presidential
| electors in 1900 was over $4,000. and 1t
looks as though 10000 will be a big vote
this time, + 81. " D.. y -.
| The republican vote in the state is ex-
pected to- run about in proportion to the
decreased totals. This Will give the con-
gresham. about 1900 majority and the
state ticket about 10000, with White
running probably, about 10 per cent be-
hind the average vote on the state ticket.
for any one except governor, as the party
has practically abandoned all efforts on
the state ticket except for Cronan.
| Along state lines the reports received
at the republican headquarters here are
Of most encouraging nature, and 1t 1s

sible exception OF Walsh and Rtchland,

years ago on the presidential vote will
be repeated, and the republicans will
carry every county in the state. 30
RlchIand County Has the Stage.
The sensations Of the campaign SO far
have been in the legislative fights being
put up in some Of the districts. Richland
county furnished the fireworks. The
county has always elected a lot of demo-
cratic officials, and on account Of the re-
publican factions, the fight there Is "a
hot one.
| All efforts are concentrated on discred-
iting McCumber in his own county, and to
accomplish this it is asserted that Judge
Lauder has entered into a combination
with Chairman Purcell Of the democratic
party to elect certain democratic nomi-
nees. The only republicans to be spared
are those who have always been friend
ly to Lauder. The fight Is especially Bit
ter In the west side of the county, where
Colonel Eankinson is the nominee for
the state senate. He and the members
Of the legislature are slated for slaugh-
ter. and efforts are being made to secure
the support of the Scandinavians, who
hold the balance of power, by promising
that the democratic members of the legis-
lature shall vote for NJ N. Johnson for
the United States senate.
The Norwegians are reported to be In
| revolt and M N. Johnson has been sent
down there to get them in line. He will
insist that they vote the straight re-
publican ticket Hankinson is also being
fought on the ground that he is lobby

Earl Leads a Revolt.
The next serious trouble is in the new
east legislative district in Barnes county.
George Earl was defeated for the nom
nation for the state senate by Ransett.
Earl is sore and heads a revolt. Ranseet
is regarded as weak candidate, and won
out for the legislature two years ago over
N, P. Rasmussen by only one vote.
Ransetts opponent is Carl M. Hagen,
who was a pop member Of the legisla-
ture when Roach was elected to the SEN
ate He was the man who failed to cast
a promised vote that would have elected
John D. Benton Of Fargo, the day Ben
ton fell one short. Hagen had been kept
In a hospital under guard two days and
was brought to the capitol, promising tc
r.. vote for Benton. Between the time he
left the hack and his name was called he
switched to Muir When his vote was
recorded Benton created scene by rush
/ ing to Hagen's seat, endeavoring to get
him to live up to his agreement. =.
