least 10000. Johnsons vote will be
larger than it was two years ago, and
Coles vote will he considerably under
Dunn's 1904 vote. The total vote will
be considerably smaller than in 1904.
The rest Of the Republican state
ticket is safe. At first it was thought
there would be some danger for one
turns indicate that they are all safe.
Gains General.
When scattered returns from differ
ent parts of the state began coming
in, all of them showed a gain for John
son over two years ago. In the cities
and villages Johnson got a larger vote
than he did two years ago, and Cole
got a vote greatly reduced from
Dunn's vote in 1904 In the country
Johnson gets a slightly better vote
than two years ago, and Cole is cut
badly In some country precincts
Johnson was given large increases, but
in many of them he had just slight
increase and Cole a large decrease.
The farmer vote is unusually light. In
some precincts the vote is only half as
heavy as two years ago, and in many
it reduced 10 to Is per cent. Only
few show increases.
The first returns gave Johnson an
average increase Of 20 per cent over
his vote of two years ago, and at this
rate his majority would be near $4,000.
But in the later returns the majorities
were not so large, and it is probable
that his majority will not be much
over 10000, although the Democrats
believe it will run over $4,000.
The landslide for Johnson does not
seem to be confined to any locality.
The three large cities and the country
districts seem to have increased john
sons vote about the same percentage.
Ramsey, Hennepin and st. Louis coun-
ties will give Johnson a larger vote
than they did two years ago.
Other State Officers.
State Auditor S. G. Iverson will lead
the Republican state ticket and Attor-
ney General E. T. Young and c. &.
Dinehart, candidate for state treasur-
er, will follow him very closely. JULIUS
Schmahl candidate for secretary OF
state, has been cut in some parts OIL
the state, but in other portions of the
state he runs better than the others
on the Republican ticket.
The worst cut is on Eberhart and at
one time it was feared that he would
be defeated, but later returns, al
though meager, indicate his election
by at least 10000 or 10000. c. F. Sta
pies. state railroad and warehouse
commissioners, has been cut little,
but he is safe and will probably have
10000. C. A. Pidgeon also has been
cut, but there is no doubt OF MS elec-
ton. Chief Justice Start had no op-
nositfon and will get the usual compll-
mentary vote.
Chairman Cole Satisfied.
DR.. A. B. Cole, chairman of the Re-
publican state central committee:
tits a great victory for Johnson,
and we are satisfied. 1t was his popu-
larity that carried him through. He
has made a good governor, and has
earned a second term in fair man
ner. 1t was clean fight"

slider the result a personal triumph lor
Gov. Johnson. He has made the great
est campaign ever made by any candl-
date for governor No man mas mao
more to overcome, and no man ever
conducted a more manly, honorable
fight. We have done nothing IN inc
campaign which we have to explain
or apologize for. Credit is especially

rendered me such able assistance NO
state central committee ever had more
canable ones. We have worked from
start to finish in perfect harmony"

Gov. John A. Johnson
81 feel very much gratified over the
victory. 1t is too early to place a cor
rect estimated upon the majority, put
it may be between 10000 and $4,000.
7 have made the best campaign tnat
am capable of. Over one hundred
speeches were made, and have talked
issues from start to finish. Not once
has there been a word of abuse uttered
by me against my opponent, Mr.. Cole,
with the greatest respect.
cat this time | take occasion TO
thank from the bottom of my heart
that army of workers who have done
so much in my behalf. | am under
special obligations to the independent
Republican voters of this state, VINO
indeed made some concessions in this
contest.
81 intend to continue the policies OF
nv first term and give the state the
hest possible enforcement of the laws
as I am capable Of hope to reward
the confidence of the voters OF TINS
