DEMOCRATIC VOTES
DEFEATED TAWNFN

Winona, MINI, Sept. 21.-Congress-
man James A. Tawney thi afternoon
gave out the following statement COM
corning the result Of Yesterdays pri-
fIary election in the First district of
Minnesota. which nominated Sidney
Anderson OF Lauesboro for congress
by a majority estimated at from $500
to 5000.
My defeat cannot be charged to
the bolt OF republicans. In seven OF
ten counties i'm this district there were
no contests for amy democratic nomi-
nation. one vote, therefore, in these
counties would nominate the demo-
cratic candidates. Throughout the
primary campaign the democrats
talked against me and worked for
my opponent They boldly declared
they would vote for him In order to
defeat me. Under our primary law
this could not be prevented.
The democratic vote in these seven
counties two years ago was over 200.
At the primary election yesterday in
these counties there were less than $50
precinct in one county there We're
seventy more republican ballote voted
than were cast for President Taft in
the same precinct two years ago.
1T wa not the false representa-
lions made by my opponent or the
use of the name ana popularity of
MIR. Roosevelt TO give color of truth
to these representations that accom-
plished yesterdays result. It was sim
ply the vote of the democrats in the
counties where there was no demo-
GRATIS contest for the democratic nom-
nation"
