s1opy oF THE spI ENDD OUTCOME OUTTOWN STRUGGLE

Entirely apart from the large vote
which the Prohibition party has just
cast and the number of candidates
whom it has elevated to office through
out the land, it is no little thing
indeed, it is a great victory in itself
that every one of the 100000 voters
of 80 states and territories have been
given an opportunity to strike directly
at the liquor trust and cast his ballot
for men who stand squarely for the
home against the legaliZed saloon.
Upon the official ballots Of these 80
states and territories appeared the
names of over 500 patriotic candidates
for state and congressional offices,
whose single dominant issue, boldly
championed before the people, was
protection for the American home
from it's most desperate and insidious
enemy, the drink curse. If the l5,OOO,-
900 voters of these states had voted
solidly for these candidates the liquor
business would be doomed within
twelve months.
But to the returns. Although very
incomplete, reports so far as received
from 80 states indicate total Pro-
hibition party poll for leading candi-
dates exceeding 325,000, compared
with vote of $4,000 for Swallow IN
1904.
Prohibition party legislative returns
already at hand indicate probable
aggregate vote of half-a-mill1On
throughout the country, including be-
tween 100000 and 100000 in Illinois
alone where the cumulative ballot
privilege operates.
In more than 100 legislative districts
Prohibition candidates forced their old
party opponents to fight the hottest
battle of their life to win.
At least one or more Prohibition
party candidates will certainly sit in
the next legislatures of Massachusetts,,
New York, Pennsylvania, West Vir-
ginia, Illinois and Minnesota.
Illinois Prohibitionists have broken all
records with a vote of 10000 for Allin,
their candidate for State Treasurer, which
may exceed 1000. Allin carried many
counties in the state, including Sangamon.
in which Springfield, the state capital
city, is located. Three or more Prohibit
tionists have been elected to the legis--
lature, including c. F. Gaumer who served
in the last Assembly Stewart, Wilson
and Sheen were beaten.

THE STATE TICKET.

Incomplete returns Indicate that oW-
ing, probably, to the Johnson landslide,
Dorsett may fall slightly behind his
vote of two years ago, but as the total
vote is much lighter than then he has
received considerably larger per cent
of it. The other candidates on the
state ticket are soaring sky-ward. So
far Dorsett has 6,31S, Lokensgaard
1858, Hendricks 1895, Heiberg 9,399.

vs. Of THE STATE, CONGRE SSIONAL AND LEGISLATIVE

Tuesday, November 6, toward which
the eyes of Minnesota Prohibitionists,
both men and women, have looked
eagerly for two years, has come and
gone but it will not be forgotten. 1t
will have place forever in the history
of the conflict in this section OF the
Union. The veterans grown gray In
the service thank God for having lived
to see this day and the youngest
recruit in the ranks is inspired with
new courage for the warfare. TO be
true, to have convictions and stand by
them, to face pity, or ridicule or abuse
and "stand up and be counted" with
little or no hope of early success, was
glOrious-but strenuous. But to be
counted in, to land some of our best
men, to be entitled to shout as victOrs
after long, weary years OF marching
and fighting-this, too, is glorious
and nightly comforting. Our hopes
for this campaign are realized. The
faith of our leaders is proven to have
been well-founded. The labors and
sacrifices of the heroes and heroines
in the ranks are rewarded and-1t's
better further on"
We have elected four men, three to
the Legislature and a Sheriff, as
follows:
T. E. Noble, in the Ninth legislative
district, FreeDorn county.
Geo. w. Higgins, in the 44th district,
Minneapolis and portion OF the coun-
try in Hennepin county.
E. E. Lobeck, in the 5Sth district,
Douglas county.
Peter Bonde was elected Sheriff of
Kandiyohi county.
The outcome is remarkable not only
on account of what happened but also
in view of what almost happened. A
change of 100 votes, properly distrib-
uted. would have seated ten more men
in the Legislature. G. E. Lasher,
Chippewa county, would have been
elected by change of % votes, L.
w. Andrist, Dodge county, by a change
of 81 votes, and Geo. H. Voxland,
Goodhue county, by a change OF 70
votes.
In Minneapolis Donald Mckenzie
polled almost 1000 votes, w. L. Gard
ner over 1900, Chairman Higgins and
Secretary Calderwood each about $500.
The legislative vote of Hennepin coun-
ty totalled nearly 10000 as against
about 5000 two years ago. Whereas
Dunn, the brewer Hamm's attorney,
beat his Prohibition opponent by 1000
in19O2, Mckinney, Prohibitionist, re-
ceived over 100 votes this year and
reduced Dunn's former majority by
1000. ,.: xo.

The postoffice building is be-

pond to the work that has been
done inside, and we now have
an office worthy of Missouri
Valley and her citizens. We
certainly are entitled to some
thing in this line When there
are other towns in this state
that have government build
ings, that have no larger popu-
lation. The office is neatly pa
pered and painted inside, and
with the new skylight which
was put in recently, it gives it
the appearance of an up-to-date
office building rather than just
a store house for mail. Let the
good work go on and Our town
will look more presentable.
