COMPLETE PRIMARY VOTE,

O''' 49,
The Bismarck Tribune publishe!
the first complete returns by countie!
OF the vote cast at the primary cleo
tion in June, for all candidates, re
publican and democratic. in tabular
form by counties.
The vote was somewhat lighter thar
that cast in the primaries two years
ago. about Is per cent less votes
being cast on the average than in
1905.
For United States senator, long
term, McCumber rep. received &c,
437 votes; Marshall (repD, 25,2OS
Midtbo and Hannafn received, re-
spectively, 3,149 and 1896, while the
contestants on the democratic side
received-Duis, 4,033, and Bruegger
1921.
For United States senator short
term, Engerud (rep.) received 21,565
votes, while Gronna (rep.) received
1851. The democratic candidate, w.
E. Purcell, appointed by the governor
to fill the unexpired term of Senator
Johnson, received only 1929, nearly
1000 less than Governor Burke.
The greatest total vote, next to
that cast for the six candidates for
the United States senate, seems to
have been cast for the three candi-
dates for state treasurer. Olson re-
ceived 2S,727 votes; Bickford, 25,456,
and Halvorson (dem), 1888. 1t is
doubtful if any other man in the
state than Olson could have won over
Bickford, who is serving out his first
term.
Other totals for the various candi-
dates were as follows:
Representatives in congress: Blais-
dell, 1922; Hanna, 2S,676; Helgeson,
1927; Johnson, 1926; Lauder, 49,
225; Mockler, 1899; Skulason, 1901;
Casey (dem.), 1859; Hildreth (dem.),
1882. This shows splendid endorse
ment OF Mr.. Hanna, and if James
johnson had not been candidate
along with Mr.. Blaisdell from the
same county, or vice versa, candi-
date from the western part of the
state would likely have been NOM
mated for congress by the republi-
cans, as Mr.. Hanna's running mate.
AS it is, both members of congress,
and for that matter both United
States senators, will come from the
eastern part of the state.
For governor, Hon. G. A. Johnson
of Ward county, who was defeated
by Burke two years ago. received a
splendid endorsement this time, re-
ceiving 20,6O0 votes, against 1886 |
for Buchanan. Aaker of Fargo re.
ceived the surprising number of H.
1876, while Smith Stimmel received |
only 1885. Wilson of Williams coun
ty received 6,Ol4, while John Burke,
having no opposition on the demo-
cratic side, received $751;.
For lieutenant governor, U. L. Bur-
dick, speaker of the last house, was !
the popular candidate, receiving 49,
1922 votes to 23,746 for Senator Sharpe, |
who didn't want the job bad enough |
to go around the state and try for it.
Richards, the Stark county democrat,
had no opposition, and he received |
9,1OO, running close to Burke for gov
ernor.
For secretary of state, Frank !
Henry received 1926; House, 1921;
Norton, the other republican, 1924.
vosburg (rep.), received 1854. The
democratic candidate, Robertson, re-
ceived $3.50,
For state auditor there were two
republicans and one democrat rum
ming. Brightbill, the present popular
official, had no trouble in winning.
He received 2S,361 votes to 25,373 for
Flittie, who was the first secretary OF
state. The democratic candidate,
Rookie, received S,739 votes.
It is quite evident that there was
q Hight vote of women, as the vote
for superintendent of schools equalled
