Governor John Burke was reelected
in this state on the democratic ticket by
a majority Of about 5000. over his
republican opponent, c. A. johnson. 1t
was one of the closest races in the history
of the state and the victory was unde-
cided until Tuesday. The first reports
late Thursday night indicated Burke by
q big majority. Wednesday the returns
indicated a change and then johnson
was reported elected. swinging back to
Burke again Wednesday night. So close
was the contest that the returns from
each county, as they came in. would
swing the victory first in one direction
and then in another.
1t is impossible to give. even at this
late hour. just the counties carried by
each candidate as the returns have been
very slow in coming in. Among the
counties which appear for Burke are
Adams, Barnes Cass, Cavalier. Eddy
Foster, Grand Forks, Grigss. Ward,
McIIenry, Ramsey, Mckenzie. Pembina,
Pierce, Richland. Rollette, Walsh, and
Stusman. while johnson has apparently
led in Billings Benson. Dunn, Emmons
Hettinser, Kidda, LaMoare, Logan,
Mercer. Ransom, Morton. Stark and
Steele counties.
Burke majority this year is practi-
cally the same as it was two years ago
when he received S, lis votes more than
his opponenE Sarles. -A'@a'. *

the state except Dunn indicate that he
has several hundred majority but that
the result is SO close that he anticipates
it will require the official count to deter
