this fee is a matter of economy, with
reference to the former custom.
The Tribune has no desire to be-
little the work of Mr.. Hancock as an
architect. But the matter of his in
terest in serving as architect at the
penitentiary and of his public record,
as shown in his construction work,
will have to stand the test of public
criticism as well as the work OF
other men, of whom he has not hes
itated to speak critically. When the
bills for Mr.. Hancock's services at
the penitentiary come in, and can be
presented to the public, We may find
where lies some of Mr.. Hancock's
natural interest in applying his kind
of construction methods. Mr.. Han
cock has an eminent right to serve
as prison architect, and has right
to be compensated for his services.
But he must not attempt to convince
the public that his interest is phil
anthropic or altruistic. The people
of the state understand that man
speaks frequently as his political,
financial and personal interest lies.
When another management has
| made as many additions and i'm
| provements at the penitentiary in the
same time and at the same expense
| to the state as has been done under
the administration preceding this
one, there will be no disposition to
withhold the credit it deserves.
The Tribune has no desire to harm
| Mr.. Hancock in his personal archi-
tectural or any other capacity. But
the recent series of questions indi-
Gated how easy it is for adverse crit
les to find flaws merely by asking
simple questions, and how difficult it
is for some person placed on the de-
tense to explain all of the things that
are made the basis of criticism.

Pioneer believes that it is due the
republican state central committee
for their lack of working out details
and ignoring local committeeman,
in many instances.
In Beltrami county, the chairman
of the Republican committee appar-
emily was unable to get the speakers
desired, and in one instance the in
action of the state committee was
responsible for having Senator Knute
Nelson and Congressman Halvor
Steenerson conflict in dates for
speaking in Bemidji.
There Was considerable dissension
in the republican ranks of the county
and concerted action for the ENTIRE
republican ticket was conspicuous
by it's absence, to a considerable de-
gree.
On the other hand, the friends of
Governor Johnson did their work
quietly, but effectively, for the most
part. Two years ago, the governor
had as running mate, for lieutenant
governor, L. G.. Pendergast of this
city, who undoubtedly added great
strength to Governor Johnson's can
didacy. This year, the united
efforts of some of the governors
friends kept the vote of two years
ago in line, as much as possible and
the vote for governor is very close in
this county, where four years ago
Bob" Dunn carried Beltrami by 800
majority. The governor can thank
some of his friends whose names are
not very conspicuous in the general
result for holding the natural repub-
lican majority down, on the governor
ship.

Polk County Division.

The question of county division
was one of the all-absorbing fights in
Polk county at the election Tuesday
and it is expected that Polk has
been divided.
The Crookston Journal says:
Are we divided. or are we whole?
This is question which cannot
be stated with certainty at the
present time, and it will take the re-
turns from all out laying precincts
to determine whether Polk county
has had its tail cut off. -s-.
Col. Stadsvold claims that
county division has carried by
good majority, but the returns re.
ceived up to the time of going to
press show that the sentiment on
the proposition is about evenly
divided. East Grand Forks went
2 to l in favor of division, but
Crookston went strong against it.
The Thirteen Towns are coming in
strong for it, and there is quite a
general sentiment that the vote in
the east end will be large enough
to carry the division deal through" !"

The outcome brings many sur

In some localities than his friends
had hoped. In the strong republi-
can counties of southern Minnesota
he got somewhere near the old-time
republican majorities.
The twin cities went for Jacobson
by just about the expected figures,
$500 for Minneapolis and 5000 for
St. Paul. Northern Minnesota was
the disappointment. The sixth,
eighth md ninth districts show
heavy gains for Governor Johnson
over the vote of four years ago,
which is used for comparison. Some
counties in the seventh district
failed to come up to expectations.
Democratic counties everywhere
showed Johnson gains.
Early returns came from Jacob
son strongholds, some of them Civ
ing him phenomenal vote. They
gave the democratic committee some
thing of scare at first, and inspired
the republican leaders with hope.
Then the northern counties with
their Johnson gains began to report,
and the situation was changed. The
ninth district, which the republicans
had expected to turn over, again
furnished Johnson majorities, that
in Polk county being a heavy one.

THE ELECTION OF JUDGE
STANTON SEEMS CERTAIN
Beltrami County Gives Judge Fine
Majority. Returns Are Slow Com
ing In From Outside.

In the contest for judge. Of the
Fifteenth Judicial district, as far as
reports have been received by the
Pioneer at this time, the election of
Judge Stanton of this city, non-par-
tisan candidate, over his opponent,
B. F. Wright of Park Rapids, repub-
ican candidate, is conceded.
In Beltrami county, at the present
time, in forty precincts out of sixty,
from which returns have already
been received, Judge Stanron has a
majority of S22, and a careful esti-
mate of those precincts yet to hear
from, gives the judge majority in
Beltrami county of an even thousand.
The official returns in Hubbard
county give Wright a ma jority Of
SAT.
Clearwater county gives Wright a
majority of 158.
In Cass county, thirty pricincts
out of forty-fve precincts, give
Wright ma jority of 127. It is not
thought that this vote will be
changed any by the remaining pre-
precincts.
In Itasca county thirty-two pre-
cincts, including all the big towns
and the range country, gives Wright
a majority of 1914.
In Crow Wing county with all
precincts in but ten, Stanton had
majority of 2S5, and it will probably
be 800.
In Aitkin county, with thirteen
precincts yet to hear from, Stanton's
majority was 81, and is estimated
that the returns, with all precincts in,
would give the judge ma jority of
100.
The latest returns from Kooch-
iching county, twenty-six precincts
give Judge Stanton a majority of
III and it is estimated that the
total majority will reach 800.
