carried the banner forA full vote, and
considering there was a contest on in the
fourth district, the total there was small.
The biggest vote' for any one candidate
was received by Congressman Volstead,
who got the 18,485 votes reported in the
seventh district, tho there was no opposi-
ton to arouse interest. The light vote In
the third is due to the fact that there was
not only no opposition to Congressman
Davis, but in several of the counties the
primary contests were of little importanc
and interest," and light votes were cast.
In Scott the vote almost melted away. ; -
j. Adam Bede's margin was large, but
Millar polled nearly 5000 votes, which
would indicate that the feeling against
the congressman from the eighth was
rather widespread. Millar got over half
his votes, 4,655, in st. Louis county, but
he made a. good showing in all the coun-
ties but Anoka, Pine and Mile Laos, and
carried Aitkin by 1874. Lake only gave
Bede a margin Of eight votes. The
official plurality for Bede was 3,242. It
would not take much of revolution next
time to reverse, that result, and it Is
evident that Bede will have to do some
record making in the next year and a
half II he prevents an even more serious
bid for his seat in the next primary.
