Casselton Reporter: Johnson de-
! feated Dunn for governor Of Minnesota
by about 10000. Must have been
something the matter when the rest of

Dunn fell by the wayside. Possibly
the lesson was meant for the bosses and
that there II be just such things doing
further west than Minnesota some
day. The people are slow but they
tally once in while.

Grand Forks Courier: The most
nota BILE and surprising thing about the
election just passed is the way the
hundreds OF thousands of voters have
voted as they think they ought to vote

stances Hereafter there will be no
such thing as 'straight' party voting
there are far too many sore spots
wounds that will not heal for several,
years, and like everything else today
d it will be the survival of the fttest
only.
