AS the canvassing board has not
yet completed it's work, it is hardly
probable that the Independent will be
able to give the exact number of
votes cast in the primary election.
However, we are absolutely certain of
results with the possible exception of
Judge Davis and l.. P. Weatherwax.
Those candidates received safe major
ties, providing the entire vote is count
ed; Davis being about ESQ votes ahead
Of Murray and Weatherwax about $50
votes ahead Of Willis. We hardly be-
lieve that any Of the vote will be
thrown out, for 1t cannot be said that
Burke and Renville counties were re-
gularly organized at the time Of the
primary election, no commissioners
having been appointed.
Kelley for Sheriff d safe in any
event. Sorenson acknowledges his
defeat by from 200 to 800 votes, but
Kelley believes his majority will run
nearer 500. - ,.,...s
Hagen, for Clerk Of Court, is also
safe in any event, while Reishus for
Reath Of Deeds, has defeated Steiner
son BY thousand votes. :.
With the exception Of the votes in
two precincts the following 10 tho
vote received by the candidates for
members Of tho Legislative assembly.
from the 29tk Bond, 1898: Nestos
1919: Lee 1853; Thompson. 1914; ia
cobson, S11; ChampKn, s47; Chakheld,
837; Dackineon 500.
Dickinson and his friends are sore
~ disappointed and 1t Re generally re-
garetted that an outside district did
not succeed in nominating one candi-
date. Everyone thot that Dickinson
was q sure winner, and he himself
was 50 confident, that he did little
work. The vote in the country was
very light, however, being in many
precincts but q 20 to Is per cent vote
and the Minot vote could not be con-
trolled for the outside candidate.
