Some Notes on the Results.
Il The results in the congressional dis
tricts are not at all surprising to ex-
perienced politicians McCleary was gem
orally expected to win. being SO firmly
entrenched and having the district so
well organized. Two months ago Miller
was not given credit for as much strength
as he displayed in the primaries. The
tight became SO fierce in the last two
weeks, and SO much anti -McCleary senti-
ment was developed in the towns of the
district, that some doubt was raised about
the result, but the rural vote was ex-
pected to be favorable to McCleary and
1t was only a question as to how well
1t would turn out. The returns show
that the farmers voted heavily. and gen
orally for $McCleary.
3 In the sixth district a closer contest
was expected, but Buchanan apparently
fixed his fences where they needed mend
ing, and made remarkable showing in
Todd and Douglas, which he lost two
years ago. He also overturned the Fos-
ter majority in Sherburne and Wright
county, which was close the last time,
went more than two to one for Buchanan
The Dunn; influence in the district was al
most solid for Buchanan, while in some Of
the counties he had valuable assistance
from Collins leaders. The second term"
argument was also used effectively, and
the opposition to Buchanan did not
arouse much enthusiasm with it's candi-
date.

ally Jared well at the primaries. Those
