um amendment to the constitution are
very incomplete.
The battle is over. and although the
returns are far from complete, the re-
suit will stand as summarized above
Pray and Smith carried Fergus coun-
ty by the normal Republican plural.
lty OF over 300 each, although Smiths
total vote promises to exceed that Civ
en- for Pray somewhat.
One of the surprises was the heavy
vote cast for the Socialist candidates
It was not thought they would receive
to exceed 200 votes at the outside, but
Harvey is likely to get nearer 800.
Charles Easel, the Democratic canui-
date for representative, fell away be-
hind DeKalb in nearly every precinct
outside Of Kendall and Gilt Edge It
looks as though Henry M. Rae, Repub-
lican candidate for state senator,
against whom the Democratic leaders
and their organ waged a fierce fight,
Will probably lead the whole ticket.
The interest Of the Republicans
seemed to be centered in the state
and legislative tickets, and on those
candidates they did very little scratch
ing. The county ticket was scratched
freeley, and this made the count very
slow and kept the result on many can
didates in doubt until this morning.
with $50 votes yet to be counteed it
is possible for the lead Of Petersen
and Parent to be overcome. but this
is not seriously expected. Should the
Republican candidates receive the
same vote given the president in those
missing prcincts two years ago. they
would still be behind.
The intense interest in the result
locally was shown by the crowds that
remained up until an early hour this
morning to hear the latest returns,
these being furnished by the Argus
and Democrat jointly. the returns
from Montana and the east also be
ieng given.
In the State.
A summary of the result in the state,
received by the Argus from Great
Falls at noon, states that the mex
state legislature will be Republican
on joint ballot by about Is. Pray Is
elected representative in congress by
about 1000 plurality, while Smith, Re
publican candidate for associate JUS
tice of the supreme court, has a pl,lr-
ality of about 10000 Practically all
Of the Republican candidates for the
legislature are entirely unpledged, and
will go into caucus on tn United States
senatorship absolutely free.
In New York.
Great interest is taken in the elec-
ton in New York, where Hearst, the
Democratic candidate for governor,
made his spectacular run against Mr..
Hughes. The election of Hughes was
cnppQ6n1 10 CT nj OH hxro in,i of
10000, and this appears to be growing
all the while.
Republican Congress.
Despite the usual strenuous off-year
campaign waged by the Democrats all
over the country. the returns indicate
that the Republicans will control the
next congress by as large a working
majority.
