Analysis OF the vote On governor shows
tnat Dunn carried only three congress
slonal districts, the first, seventh and
elghth' and that he carried the first by
Darely 200: His heavy p9uralities came
IN the eighth, Which heSWon by something
over $500 He did very little better than
nreak even In the seventh district, but
Inc democratic managers had expected
TO carry the district, and were somewhat
| disappointed at the showing made
Inc second district, which goes for
Johnson by a few hundred plurality, sur
! prised the democratic inanagers who had
not looked for better than an even break.
| Johnson did better than was hoped for in
Blue Earth, Faribault, Martin and Waton-
wan and ran fully up to expectations in
ROCK, Pipestone and Mobiles.
J The third district did even better for
I Johnson than his ma sagers, had privately
! ngured the surprises coming. in Nicollet.
| Rice and Goodhue counties
| Chlsago- county was an agreeable sur
prise for Johnson in the fourth district
Van SAINT carried 1t against Lind two
years ago by over 1900, and the best
that was hoped was to cut Dunn down to
400 or 500. A plurality of % is remarkable
there. Washington and Ramsey turned
| out as expected @ShEsl7z -.
Hennepin's "swipess'x at Dunn was really
the sensation of the election. It had been
| figured by Johnson,fm en at about S, 900
| While Dunn mem were hoping to break
even, and Dunn himself claimed, the coun-
.ty by $500. Some anti-Dunn republicans
had talked about 1000 to TO- 600 for John
son. but they only mentioned it as a
possibility, and hadtivery little faith in
such figures, The outcome shows that
Johnson's plurality. in Hennepin is prac-
tlcally the same as his lead in the entire
/ state, The state. ont Si6a Of TJanpa,,;p
| was nearly a stand off. ~
;. The sixth district did not show up
quite as strong for johnson as expected,
chiefly owing to heef2light vote in. stearns,
but Dunn ran better in Wright, Todd
Wadena and Hubbard than expected He
i lost Meeker by a surprising vote.
Returns from the ninth are not COM
plete enough to base much of an argr-
ment, but they show that there was very
little to Dunn's Wanted strength in the
Red River valley. They also show that
counties like Otter Tail, which sent Dunn
delegation to the state convention and
then buried him on election day, were
Enot really Dunn counties. They were
worked" and the Dunn delegations in
the state convention did not represent the
rea! sentiment. The actual returns from
the ninth make one of the Pioneer Press
prediction estimates look funny. That
estimate gave Dunn 10000 in the district,
and plurality in, every county It now
appears that he has lost the district by at
least 1000. r.. -@
Speakership politics are warming UP
right away. The Hugo combination had
another conference last evening in St.
Paul, attended by w. A.. Nolan, w. B.
Anderson, j. r. Morley of Owatonna and
Ed Tanning of Stewartvi]le Hugo denied
that any conbina ton had been formed
but claimed after the conference that his
al inn u
on and as already stated in TIL Ell o r.
| n l, gives the chief clerkship to Julius
Schmahl, the judiciary committee to An.
, derson and good chairmanships to Wells
and Nolan. s&
The Hugo men only concede twenty
eight votes to Frank Clague, who has
been left on the cold outside. Clague
, claims much larger number of pledges
but the Hugo men seem to be working
the same game as that conducted by DR.
: Babcock two years ago. which was to tie
things up as early as possible and pre-
vent any one else from getting in the
: game
: MIR. Hugo is making his stand as Dunr
/ candidate, and the strongest claim he ad.
vances is that st. Louis county stood by
Dunn at the polls. He says the eighth
e district delegation is solidly for him.
We miss the daily serial story in the
+ Pioneer Press, which used to appear I'm
der black headlines such as Dunn Strong
K with the Farmers or Southern Mime
sofa Is for Dunn Like good many up
to-date novels, that serial had bat
. ending-for the hero.

whole business is that we will never knov

: Just before election certain republican
Il considered themselves the destined lead
q ers of the party. They woke up Wednes
