Twice-a-week plain dealer. (Cresco, Howard County, Iowa) 1895-1913, 1906-11-09

The widest estimates of the Demo-
Gratis, however, do not exceed the fig
ures which the Geographic bulletins
are giving to Governor Johnson.
1t is impossible to make an analysis
of the vote from the limited reports
received but the johnson gains do
not appear to be limited to any section
of the state, or to any particular coun
ties. The iron range, where it was ex-
pected Cole would run close to the
vote given Dunn last year appears to
be sliding toward johnson with big
majorities.
The Red River Valley, which was
expected to give johnson big vote,
| owing to the predominance of Scan
dinavian voters, is doing better than
! the Democrats hoped for. Counties in

the same prec4ncts gave Johnson only
437 and Dunn 66l.
An inspection Of the returns show
that in almost no cases has the Dunn
vote OF two years ago held up this
year. Decreases in the Dunn vote
show up in every county, and the
