RepuDllcan leaders naQ cOnnQenCly
expected that they would carry the
city of Duluth, but returns last night
showed that Johnson had carried it
by about 500, although Republican
leaders there claimed that jacobson
would probably carry the county.
In Hennepin, the Johnson lead may
be considerably lessened by returns
from the country and village pre-
cincts outside of the city of Mime
apclis. Republicans leaders locally,
confidently believed last night that
these returns would cut down John
sons majority very considerably
From the early returns, 41S pre-
cincts throughout the state gave
Jacobson 36,523 and Johnson 45,630,
a majority for Johnson Of 9,108. The
same precincts four years ago gave
Dunn 3S,O52, and Johnson 41,086,
majority for johnson of 8,034.
A surprising thing was the fact that
Governor Johnson run ahead of Will
liam H. Taft in Minneapolis. Taft

Another surprise was the big vote
polied by William Jennings Bryan,
1862, this being 1894 votes more
than Alton B. Parker got four years
ago in his race for the presidency.
William H. Taft, for president, and
John A. Johnson, for governor, ran
neck and neck in many Of the city
precincts. s
Governor Johnson polled 25,115
votes in Minneapolis yesterday, as
compared with 22,055 of four years
ago, when he defeated Dunn for gov
ernor, and jacobson yesterday polled
I15,524 votes, as compared with the
! 1881 obtained by Dunn in 1904
Republican victory swept Hennepiu
county yesterday and named solid
Republican ticket for county officers
! from auditor down to county commits
sioner.
Running neck and neck with his
Republican opponent almost to the
finish, Mayor James G. Haynes
forged ahead of Charles H. Huhn in
| yesterdays race for the mayoralty
chair, and by an unofficial count,
captured the prize with a plurality OF
461 out of total mayoralty vote Of
!. 41,828. L.
The result Of the Ramsey county
elections caused little surprise. Gov
ernor johnson at a late hour ap
4 peared to have carried the county by
about 1000. This is somewhat less
than two years ago. Mr.. Taft made
i q clean sweep Of the county, but Mr.
4 Bryan was favorite in many of the
4 precincts. It is not certain whether
the representatives from Ramsey
d county in the legislature will be Re
q publican or Democratic.

Returns from sColorad doss and Mary:

Mr.. Taft will call Immediately after

Missouri has returned to the solid

day came from scattering districts In

Chairman Frank A. Day stated tha
he thought Johnson was elected by

SHOOTING AFFRAY
ENDS DRUNKEN ROW
Roy Armstrong in Jail for Shooting
Isudorc Baptiste in
Dewey Club.

In q; drunken rage and filed with a
desire for trouble, Roy Armstrong, II
half breed negro and Indian, went to
the Empire roominghouse, where col
ored people reside, early this morning
and started q row in the Dewey club
that terminated in Il shooting ARRAY.
Isadore Baptiste was shot through the
right leg, and Armstrong was placed
under arrest and is now in the city
jail on the charge of assault with a
deadly weapon.
From all accounts given to the police,
Armstrong was drunk when he went 10
the house. Hc was looking for a Wo-
man named Ray Woods, his mistress
who goes by the name, sometimes, of
Ray Armstrong. The man thought
the woman was in d room with another
man, but several inmates of the place
tried to convince him that she was not
there. Armstrong insisted she was,
and battered down II door. This was
followed by a general row.
In this building there is an organi2a-
ton called the Dewey club and sew.
eral of it's members surrounded Arm
strong after he had battered down the
door. Armstrong drew a revolver and
threatened 10 shoot. Baptiste grabbed
Armstrong about the body and tried to
take the weapon away from MIN, but
the gun was fired and Baptiste was shot
through the right leg near the knee.
Fl, A. Davis. Jesse Thompson, William
Norman and several others pounced
upon the crazed man and dsarmeds
him. The police was notified, and
Sergeant Roberts and Patromen
Stains and Kelly hurried to the scene
and placed Armstrong under arrest.
Baptiste was taken to his room and
DR.. Sprague summoned to attend him.
His wound proved painful. but not
necessarily dangerou, but it is likely
that, his leg Willl.be stiff permanently
kt Atsihe city Jail, Armstrong acted in
Il sullen manner and refused TO talk
about the affair. He declared that
he did not Know anyone had been shot
and protested Innocence Chief Pitt
stated that he would take some action
against the place where the shooting
occurred, as there had been numerous
complaints about the place. The so
called Dewey club is said to be a gam
bling house, and it is known that liquor
is sold there a government licenle is
paid, but steps are to be taken to
close UP the place.

this afternoon, to the answer of 9. 9.

divorce in the district court In this
reply she denies that he supported her

more emphatically to her condition.
