NYE IS NOMINATED
FOR CONGRESSMAN
His Lead Over Albert H. Hall Strong, with
Eustis Probably Third, Wash
burn Fourth.

Frank M. Nye has won one Of the
hardest fought and most interesting
battles for a congressional nomination
ever waged in Hennepin county. I'm
less all signs fail he is nominated by a
large vote, running up into the thous-
ands, and has fttingly finished short
but startlingly strenuous campaign.
Nye stock was boosted with the ar
rival Of the first preliminary ballots
last night and it has been on the rise
ever since. This candidate has never
been approached by any of the other
contestants and as the Nye votes have
poured in today from the second, tenth,
twelfth and thirteenth wards and from
the country, it has become more and
more apparent that victory belonged to
him With fifty city prec incts and
twenty-folr country districts heard
from, Mr.. Nye has the big plurality
Of 1,17S, and there are yet many of
his strongest districts to be- counted.
A. H. Hall will probably run second.
With William Henry Eustis, he has di-
vided the main vote Of the first ward
and his support In the third has been
exceptionally strong. The fifth ward
also gave Mr.. Hall large vote, but he
was unable to cope with the heavy Nye
vote i'll the wards mentioned above and
in the sixth and seventh where large
pluralities have helped materially to
swell the Nye total.
William Henry Eustis has some
strong support in some parts of the
city, but not nearly what was claimed
for him by his enthusiastic supporters
He will probably finish in the third DO

sition with W. D. Washburn, Jr.,
fourth.
Notwithstanding the fact that Mr..
Nye has made most active and even
meteoric campaign, his large vote is
attributed by those who are most prof
cient in playing the political game to
the great silent vote of the masses who
never attend political meetings or come
in personal contact with the candidates.
What MIR. Nye Says.
Mr.. Nye is naturally pleased over his
nomination as the republican choice for
congress. 49,
"In the matter of money" said Mr..
Nye, "my campaign has not been in it
compared with other congressional cam
paigns on the republican ticket. at
friendships thruout the district, the re-
suit of years of acquaintance; and to
volunteer service Of good friends in my
behalf. Some very strong and infu-
entail friends have come to my camp re-
Gently and done very effective work.
+, "Personally, I have felt an undercur-
rent of support all along that the politi-
clans did not seem to understand or ap-
preciate; and while I did not feel war
ranted in predicting the result, I am
not as surprised as other people, who
claimed to know the situation. There
was undoubtedly large democratic
vote cast with the republicans, and
while I believe I probably had part of
this vote in~my behalf, there was abso-
lutely no deal on my part to secure
any part of the democratic vote -

Since the count began last night,
there has been nothing definite. Thou
sands Of democrats voted the republi-
uation. Tho tits reasonable to be-
lieve that they were in the game to
beat Mayor Jones', 1t is by no means
certain that the element that favors the
law enforcement policy of the mayor
did not sacrifice to him to make certain
his 'nomina tion. On the other hand,
thousands of republicans who do not ia
vor the law enforcement policy Of the
mayor were in the game against him
but were by no means equal to the Loyal
support that he and his principles re:
/ ceived from the great body of the tried
and true republican voters.
How It Is Running.

cincts to be heard from the, mayor i:

winner by a fair margin. With tn,
heavy republican odds he must over

RETIRING ALDERMEN, BAR
ONE, in The RACE AGAIN

On account of the slowness Of the
count, there is still some uncertainty
regarding the nomination for aldermen.
The indications are that all the retir-
ing aldermen have been renominated
with the exception of4Dr. w. F. Nye
in the third ward DR.. Nye said early
today that it looked as if the primaries
had gone against him in favor Of
George V. B. Hill. John F. Danek
was reported an easy winner for the
democratic nomination in the ward.
strength in the fourth ward and ran
neck and neck with the veteran Alder
man A. E. Merrill. With complete re-
turns from half the precincts Mr.. Mer-
rill was ahead and the :. indications
seemed to favor his nomination tho
Gould still claimed it.
In the second ward Ben Sheldon Is
the most likely winner. R. B. Thomp-
son said today that he was willing to
concede Sheldon g nomination. How
ever the ninth district with more than
500 votes will decide the matter.
While the democratic vote was very
light in the sixth ward, the early re-
ports indicated that the opposition to
Lars. M. Rand was insignificant.
| A.EC. Vaughan said that he was NOM
mated by a satisfactory plurality in the
seventh. 5S5
Alder1nna E. W. Clark was an easy
winner in the eighth ward. On early
returns he had clear majority over
both~his competitors together. 8.
Incomplete returns from the ninth
! ward indicate; that Nels Swanson will
receive the republican nomination and
that the democrats will renominate
Peter Mccoy.
John w. Wilson and p. W. 4McAllis-
/ ter ran very close race for the re-
i publican nomination in the tenth ward.
and it will take an official count to
/ determine the result. The unofficial
returns give Wilson the nomination by
j a plurality Of ten votes.

He and Williams Lead Alternately as
Vote Progresses.
The Count on the City Ticket Is Exasper-
ating|y Slow and Both Republican As
pirants for MayoraIty Honors Profess
Confidence.

The first ward is going to Williams,
but the vote is lighter than it was two
years ago. The second ward is sup
porting the mayor in the republican
districts and will give him a big ma
lority: The ninth ward, also on the
as reported, and he should cross the
river with a good majority.
North Minneapolis shows bad con-
dition of affairs for the republican
party generally. The upper residence
districts will be for Jones, but the
business precints, especially along the
river, are for Williams; The ward will
thru when the complete vote is anal
yzed. The tenth ward will break about
even, with Jones possibly shade to
the good.
The downtown wards, the fourth and
fifth, will give Jones good majority
in the upper precincts, and Williams
will receive like favor in the lower or
river ends, which are hopelessly Will
Jams. The upper precincts OF these two
wards, one Of them, the fifth, being the
mayors home ward, are not supporting
him as well as they would naturally be
expected to, but viii give majority Of
the two wards. The Williams pre-
cincts Of these wards are In, but the
Jones districts are yet to be heard
from. <-. IA
| South of these, the eighth and thir-
| teenth wards, will show some strong
support for Jones. These are residence
/ wards and with the possible exception
I Of perhaps two precincts of the eighth
ward, Jones should have majority.
Nine of the eighteen precincts Of the
eighth ward remain to be heard from.
| Jones carried DR.. Williams own pre-
cinct, the third Of the eighth ward, Isl
to 81.
The sixth ward will be strongly Will
liams, particularly heavy Williams
vote showing up in the redlight pre-
cincts and the heavy saloon precincts OF
this ward. Two years ago Haynes ear
ried the ward by nearly 300.
! More Lead for Jones.
! The seventh ward, which was car
ried by Jones against. Haynes two years
ago by close margin, will give him
another and more substantial majority
this time. 49,
The eleventh ward is doubtful and
will probably 90 to Williams.
The twelfth ward is claimed by Viii
liams, but it is believed Jones will carry
it as well as the thirteenth, which Will
give him a good majority.
!; That the real republican districts will
do business was shown when the sew
enth district Of the eighth ward came
in, Jones 246, illiams So; and the
twelfth of the same ward followed
. with Jones PAT and Williams 81.
The Williams shouters have forgot
: ten that while Williams is making o
good showing with the democratic
t votes thrown to him, he must use fully
$500 Of them to even up the repub-
t lican majority Of Mayor Jones. At the
same time Jones is sure Of at least 80
) per cent Of the democratic vote thrown
{ into the republican ranks and with it
2 will be able to maintain a safe margh
! over his man.

1t is impossible to obtain reliable
data as to the successful candidates in

This is particularly true in the SEN

fortythird districts. In the former,
