Jacobson's influence In Sixth District

J. f. Jacobson's speeches undoubtedly
had great deal to do with the result Of
the Buckman-Lindbergh fight. Whether
Buckman would have been nominated II
Jacobson had kept still no one can tell,
but 1t Is not likely that so many votes
were changed at that late stage in the
campaign. The two counties that caused
| the greatest surprise were Wright and
Sherburne. Buchanan was expected to
carry Wright and lose Sherburne In
| stead he lost Wright and carried She--
burne. It was these two counties in which
jacobson made his speeches. He seemed
| to take in Wright, but not in Sherburne.
Cokato, where he made his Wright coun-
ty speech, went strong for Lindbergh.
The village gave him 81 votes to SO for
Buchanan, and the township went 1872 to
| &c.. The neighboring village Of Howard
| Lake was carried by Lindbergh. 100 to 10.
Lindbergh also carried Buffalo, AMMAN
dale, Delano and Monticello, while Buck
| man carried Maple Lake, Montrose and
Waverly.
The Wright county vote was tremen-
dous. Two years ago there were 2,187
| republican votes cast in the primaries.
In the general election on secretary of
/ state there were 1855 republican votes,
| and LISP democratic. Last Tuesday in
| the primary there were 1853 republican
| votes polled.
Aanopergh ran strong in the rural
| townships over the district. In Todd
| county buchanan carried nearly all the
villages, and yet Lindbergh carried the
| county. The rural vote turned out heay-
ny nearly everywhere, and it was this
that pulled Lindbergh thru.
Inc BroWer-Hanson alliance brought
oucknan some strength, but they were
not able to swing as many votes to the
congressman as they had hoped. St
Cloud went heavily for Lindbergh, and
he carried Litchfeld, 256 to Sc.
