a clean sweep of the county, but Mr..
! Bryan was favorite in many of the
precincts. 1t is not certain whether
the representatives from Ramsey
county in the legislature will be Re-
publican or Democratic.
Republican candidates have been
elected in all the other districts, al
| though Congressman c. R. Davis was
given a race for his life by w. e.
Leyman of Henderson in the Third.
In the First district, Congressman
James A. Tawney has been reelected
over A. j. French, F. G. Stevens in
the Fourth, Frank Nye IN the Fifth,
c. A. Lindbergh in the Sixth, A. J..
Volstead in the Seventh, G. B. Miller
in the Eighth and Halvor STEVENSON
in the Ninth.
Republican Congress.
Washington, Nov. 4.-Up to mid
night last night definite reports had
been received from 2O7 congressional
districts out of total of 391, of these
119, showed the election of Republi.
cans and SO the election of Democrats.
In the entire list there were only two
changes In the political complexion
and both were favorable to the Re-
publicans. The Democrats lost the
Eleventh Pennsylvania district, Henry
w. Hallmer defeating John Biglow
and thus becoming the successor of
Mr.. Lenahan, the present Democratic
member. The Republicans also re-
gained the Third Wisconsin district,
which was lost to Joseph W. Babcock,
two years ago. Mr.. Babcock was de-
feated by James w. Murphy and Muir
ply now appears to have gone down
before Arthur ]. Kopp the Republican
nominee
North Dakota.
Fargo, N. D., Nov. 4.-Taft has car
ried North Dakota by $4,000. Republi-
! can state ticket except governor, has
! been elected by majorities ranging
from 10000 to 10000. Goth Republi-
can nominees for congress have large
majorities.
c. A. Johnson has been elected gov
ernor by smaller majority than the
rest of the state ticket, but is GER
tainly safe.
The legislature will be about IS per
cent Republican.
The foregoing statement was made
by National Committeeman Kennedy
at midnight. 1t is thought to be a
| conservative one and agrees not only
with returns received at state COM
mittee headquarters, but also from in
dependent sources in this city.
Burke has run behind his vote of
two years ago in Red River valley,
but stronger in the Russian and Ger
| man settlements in Western part of
| the state, where personal liberty and
| anti-prohibition sentiment is strong.
Advices from Slope indicate that
Johnson has carried every county west
of the Missouri and those along east
side of the Missouri, though by small
Ter majorities than Sarles got two
years ago in that territory. Marshall
appears to have won out for indorse-
! ment for United States senator
South Dakota.
Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. 4-Although
| the reports received up to late hour
from the election in South Dakota
were of a somewhat meager character
| they were sufficient to make it certain
| that the Republicans had made practi-
cally clean sweep in the state. W.
| c. Cook, chairman Republican state
committee, claims the Republicans
have carried the state for the National
and state tickets and have elected
Chas. P. Burk and Eban W. Martin
their nominees for congress.
Robert Vessey, Republican nominee
for governor, who timid Republicans
feared would be beaten by A. E. Lee,
the nominee of the Democrats, showed
surprising strength and will have q
majority of not less than 10000 or
10000 over Lee in the state.
The fact that Wesley carried Lees
home city of Vermillion by vote of
156 to los was one OF the surprises of
the day. 1t is estimated that Clay
county, of which Vermillion is the
county seat, will give Vessey a ma
jority of 500.
The banner Republican county so
far as shown by reports received up
to q late hour Is Lincoln county,
which gives Taft majority of about
1000, with Vessey only about 100
votes behind.
Minnehaha county, the center of the
fight against Mr.. Wesley will give
Wesley majority over Lee of from
300 to 500. While only scattering
reports had been received up to
late hour in reference to the legis-
lature the Republicans are confident
from what reports have been received
that they have elected considerably
more than hundred of the 14s mem
bers of that body, assuring the cleo
ton of Governor C.. l. Crawford, as
the successor of U. s. Senator Kilt
| redge.
Illinois.
Chicago, Nov. 4.-The Republican
national and state tickts have gained
complete victory in Illinois, although
the pluralities will probably fall short
of those obtained by the party in the
Roosevelt campaign of 1904. Taft
has carried the state by approximate
ly 10000 votes, although it will be
some time today or Thursday before
the exact figures can be obtained
Charles S. Deneen, the Republican
candidate for governor, ran far be-
hind the national ticket, but has been
