Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1910-11-09

At two o'clock this morning, the re-
publican central committee, through
Chairman Talcott, stated that returns
received from the state indicated the
election of C. A. Johnson, Republican
candidate for governor, by majority
Of 1000 to 5000 votes.
This estimate was verified by the
calculations made by Otto Strom, who
was the statistician Of the committee,
and received and tabulated the returns
and compared them with those two
years ago.
The returns show falling off in the
Burke vote in all parts Of the state
except in Stark and Dickey counties.
Trail, Cass, Grand Forks, Ransom,
Sargent, Burleigh, Nelson, Ramsey,
Ward, Bottineau, Mountrail, Renville,
return better totals for c. A. Johnson
than they did in the election of two
years ago.
The northern and eastern part of the
state, from the returns received, show
substantial gains for Johnson over his
vote of two years ago.
Grand Forks at about midnight
stated that Johnson was doing twice
as we'll in the Red river valley as he
did two years ago.
Burke must make considerable aims
in the southern and western parts OF
the state if he offsets the gains made
by Johnson in the east and north.
1t is not believed by the state cen
trail committee that he has made any
substantial gains west of the river ex-
.cept in Stark county. Oliver county
at one o'clock this morning reported
Republican majority of fifty In half
of the county. The same ratio would
give the county to johnson by hun
dred. Two years ago Burke carried 1t
by votes.
Morton county last night reported
a probable majority of 400 to 500 for
Johnson.
Grand Forks county reported that
the Burke majority of two years ago
would be reduced four to six hundred
votes.
Cass county's majority for Burke
will be reduced about 25O.
Ramsey county, Burke's home coun-
ty, was claimed by the Republicans
by $50 majority. This claim was re-
duced at headquarters to keep on the
conservative side.
Ransom and Richland counties re-
ported Republican gains.
Barnes county reported an increase
Of Burke's majority of two years ago
by possibly fifty votes.
Bottineau county reports a big in.
crease in the Johnson vote over two
years ago.
Secretary Devine of the state GEN.
trail committee from Minot last night
said that Johnson had carried Ward,
Renville and Mountrail counties.
Thirteen counties practically COM
plete tabulated at headquarters last
night gave Johnson a lead of $500
votes.
The same counties two years ago
gave him lead of only $50 votes. The
gain for Johnson in these thirteen
counties is 1850 votes.
Carried out through the state this
ratio Of increase would give Johnson
gain of 1000 over two years ago, or
a majority of 4,500 in the state.
The counties tabulated by the cen.
trail committee last night or estimated
at midnight by the county chairman
were:
Trail, 200 majority for Johnson.
Ramsey, 300 majority for johnson.
teele, 100 majority for Johnson.
Hettinger, $50 majority for Johnson.
Emmons, 200 majority for johnson.
Logan, 300 majority for johnson.
Nelson, 100 majority for Johnson.
Ransom, $50 majority for johnson.
Mountrail, 100 majority for Johnson.
Mclean, 100 majority for johnson.
Foster, 1875 majority for Johnson.
Williams county was reported as an
even break; Mckenzie was reported
as probably returning small major.
ity for johnson and Griggs county was
reported to have been carried by
Budke by a vote of 357 to 594.
