No other Change In Delegation Un-
less Complete Returns Show
Stevens to Be
Defeated.

marieS Tor the nomination of candi-
dates for congress, legislature and
county offices were held throughout
| Minnesota Interest centers in the
| First district, and scattering returns
Indicate the defeat of Congressman j.
A. Tawney by small margin by Sgd
ney Anderson, young attorney of
Lanesboro. This probably will be the
only change in the delegation to con-
gress although there is a possibility
Of the defeat Of F. c. Stevens in the
fourth district by Hugh T. Halbert.
The polls were open until 8 o'clock
and returns at midnight are far from
complete.
Halbert did not get into the fight
until three weeks ago but has made
whirlwind campaign. The Stevens
people did not see any chance of
defeat until couple OF weeks ago,
but since then Stevens has made a
strong fight for denomination. Hal
bert has been in st. Paul politics for
many years, always fighting tie
crowd that was in, and always losing,
but the sentiment against Stevens
and against regulars generally has
given him a big vote. The winner
will have only normal opposition, un.
less an independent candidate is
brought out, which is likely to hap,
pen.
