Jamestown weekly alert. [volume] (Jamestown, Stutsman County, D.T. [N.D.]) 1882-1925, 1910-11-10

land either Atwood or Walters in the
lead.
In the jamestown district Michael
Murphy is elected county commits
sioner over A. D. Grant by substan-
tial majority and it is reported that
Chas.. Schumacher of the 3rd district
has lost out to John Kasper.
The vote in the first commissioner
district consisting of the four wards
of jamestown gave Michael Murphy
532, A. D. Grant 263, majority of
1853. In the fifth commissioner dis
trict it is reported that christensen,
republican and Pearson, democrat,
are running close. G. G. Geissler ran
on stickers and appears to have d.
vided the republican vote. The cleo
ton in that district is yet in doubt.
Later returns from the legislative
ticket show that Fried is the high
man and Default and Pendray fol-
low. The fourth member is in doubt
and appears to be close between At
wood and Walters while Karpen of
Medina has strong support as a
democratic candidate.
There were many surprises in the
election in the city but the vote was
not as heavy as anticipated. The
democrats took advantage of the sit
uation and made extra efforts to
get out big vote. Compared with
their vote at the primary election the
result is astonishing in gains and
showed that many democrats who
participated in the republican prim-
aries to nominate candidates or did
not vote at all have returned to their
party candidates at election.
In the judicial election Judge Ellis
worth makes a splendid showing in
the city, receiving the highest vote
of any of the candidates for the ju-
dietary. The vote in Jamestown on
the judgship was as follows: Ellis
worth 663, Cooley 304, Fisk 519,
Burke BAT, Goss 40, Anderson 100.
From returns received from three
wards of. Grand Forks Fisk,
Ellsworth and Cooley were largely in
the lead, the vote being as follows:
Ellsworth 422, Fisk 50e, Cooley 537,
Anderson 131, Burke 154, Goss 95.
The vote in Wahpeton in the three
wards showed Ellsworth 365, Fisk
|375, Cooley 269, Anderson %, Burke
70, Goss SO.
AS an indication as how the
Judiciary election is going in this
county 20 precincts, whose returns
were received up to 8 p. M, gave the
following vote: Ellsworth 1887,
Fisk 916, Burke 795, Cooley 5SS,
Anderson 306, Goss 2ss.
Fargo, N. d., Nov. &.-The demo-
cratic state committee claim Burke's
Election by 2200.
Latest returns from Grand Forks
county show the first estimate Of
Burke's majority has been greatly
reduced.
The Forum has estimates on 43
out of 48 counties giving Burke over
700 majority. Chairman Talcott at
Bismarck has figures on 80 counties
and close estimates on the 1S others.
He claims that Johnson's majority is
700 on counties already heard from,
and when the final vote is in this will
be increased 1000 more. Returns
from the remote precincts are slow
in coming in.
