TAYLOR, NORTON,
PURCELL LEAD
TAYLOR JOINS THE REST OF THE
sTALWARTS 49, NORTON HAS
PRACTICAL CERTAINTY OF NOM
NATION AND PURCELL HAS A
SLIGHT LEAD OVER sTuTsMAN.

The canvassing boards are conplet-
ling the election returns this week and
by Saturday 1t may be possible to get
| accurate totals on all counties.
Taylor has secured such lead over
| Woods that there is no longer any
doubt as to the nominee. Practically
/ complete returns from forty of the
/ forty-six counties give him 23,42S,
| Woods 22,169-or Taylor 1859 to the
good.
In the race between Norton and
Henry for secretary OF state, it looks
| like Norton is practically certain of
the nomination. In forty-two counties
| the totals are: Norton 1878, Henry
| 1904. This gives Norton a lead Of
! 500 with only four small counties to
hear from, and there is little likeli-
| hood of much change. The big vote of
| House proved fatal to Henry. Had
House been out of the race 1t would
| have been a runaway match for the
| Valley City man.
! The center of interest is now shift
| ing to the third man on the railway
| commission. With returns from only
| thirty-one counties in, Purcell leads
| by 81 votes. The other fifteen coun-
ties may materially change the results,
but Purcell appears to have trifie the
| best Of the deal, as the stalwarts won
in more of the missing counties than
| did the insurgents. Mann and Ander-
| son are elected. Fadden Of Grand
| Forks will be fifth and Massingham
| last.
In the judicial race it is Fisk, Burke,
Goss, Carmody, Ellsworth, Rourke,
Cooley, Kneeshaw, Anderson and Ser
umgaard in the order named, but four
| teen counties are unreported.. All
kinds of shifts may be made in the
| fifth and sixth places with the COM
plete returns. There is absolutely no
| doubt but that Fisk, Burke, Goss and
| Carmody are four of the six. Ellis
| worth seems almost certain of fifth
with Rourke and Cooley fighting it out
for the last position.
