Two years ago Berger had, or claim

The total vote OF Cavalier county Is
not over 1900. If Goss did not get q
vote there and Ellsworth received ev-
eryone, the supreme court judges elect
ed last week would be Fisk. Burke
and Goss.
The Governorship.
On the governorship race there has
been very little change. Governor
Burke's majority has been increased
slightly by more complete returns. II
Is now about 1.941, according to the
most accurate reports obtainabIe by
The Forum. The total may so over
1000 on the official count but The
Forum is inclined to believe 1t is
more likely to be under than over His
present figures are more than 600 un-
der his majority two years ago over
the same opponent.
The Increased vote for Burke in
the foregoing is due to a correction
In Ward, which was carried by Burke
by fifty instead of Johnson, and a
larger majority in Rolette county than
had been reported.
