In Butte the republicans elected
eleven of the twelve representatives

Attic Trout Lake on the 500 line at

citizen outside of the upper peninsula,
the. little station bids fair to become
prominent the next few weeks owing
to an election jangle into which the
politicians Of Chippewa county have
ocratic ticket, alleges that irregulari-
ties marked the recent election in which
William F. Lipsett, republican, de-
feated him. He has demanded re-
count and an investigation of the af-
fairs Of the lone precinct in the woods
is threatened.
Trout Lake, according to the claims
made by the defeated candidate, has
election methods of its own which
would make Tammany turn green with
envy. No regular registration accord
Ing to the laws of the state is held, it
is alleged. 1t is said that when the
time to register arrives member Of
the board takes the registration book
under his arm and starts thru the
woods, calling on the voters and regis
tering their names. The rest of the
board knows nothing of the registra-
ton until the man with the book re-
turns, when the names are scanned and
pronounced O. K. This is a violation
Of the law.
If such should be proven the entire
vote Of the precinct could be thrown
out. According to the returns there
were forty-eight republican votes in
Trout Lake township and one demo
cratic. vote. Lipsett's majority was
only forty-fve, and if the vote of the
township were thrown out, the result
of the election would be changed.

Fargo, N. D., Nov. 17.-John Burke,

the elongated and angular kind. But in

The next executive Of the state is as
Irish as his name indicates. Born on
a farm near sigourney, Iowa, he tickled
the fertile soil of the Hawkeye state
and raised corn, attending the district
school during the winter terms.
At the age Of 25 he became inspired
with the ambition to become an at

sity law department. Two of his class
mates were former Chief Justice Young
of this state and Judge Wade, we'll
known in Iowa.

Europe and had visited soldiers homes
