Norman, O'Nelll of Red Lake, Holten
of Polk, Robertson of Marshall, and
Mattson of Roseau. This makes fifty
two.
Most notable of the county option
successes in the state was the election
of John Saugstad to the state senate
in Polk county. His defeat of Senator
A. D. Stephens is a remarkable feat in
politics, as it was performed by the
use of stickers, pasted on the ballot
by each voter.
Senator Stephens is one of the best
known men in the state, a leading
banker and the chief sponsor for the
branch agricultural school at Crooks
ton. Though sentiment in Polk coun-
ty is for county option, he had great
personal strength. Mr.. Saugstad is a
served creditably in the house at the
last two sessions.
Senator Albert Schaller OF Hastings,
the dean of the legislative bodies, will
break all records for continuous SER
vice. He wins the election in Dakota
county over Magnus w. Brown, repub.
lican, and if he serves out the term
will have twenty years in the state
senate without break.
Ole o. Sageng won reelection to the
senate in Otter Tail county easily, but
his side partner, Elmer e. Adams, was
defeated in his independent run for
the house.
Some Election Surprises.
County optionists were more sur
prised over the result in Freedom
county than anywhere else: That
county was covered more thoroughly
with county option arguments than
any in the state. It was the theater
of John Lind's speech, and P. ].
Youngdahl spoke twice to Albert Lee
meetings. Two years ago the prohi-
bitionists elected T. E. Noble to the
house. This year they expected to
land him and his running mate, but
both were defeated by several hun
dred. H. C.. Nelson, county option
democrat, was also badly beaten for
the senate by B. N. Anderson.
Four probable aspirants for speaker
were elected. The list includes J. A..
A. Burnquist, st. Paul, John G. Len
non, Minneapolis, H. H. Dunn, Albert
Lea, and George Mackenzie, Gaylord.
There will be a close contest in the
house Republican caucus between the
county option element and the anti
option men. AS matters stand it looks
to be about tie
