The Upper


st. Paul-The 1911 legislature in
minnesota will still be republican by
large majority, but there has been
some loss Of strength in the house,
where all the other parties have made
gains. The democrats have made a
net gain Of two or three seats, the pro-
hibitionistss one, making them four, and
the public ownership party will be rep
resented In the Minnesota legislature
for the first time, having carried the
district comprising Lake and Cook
counties.
!: County Option Defeated. >.
County option is unquestionably de-
feated. The county optionists failed to
make up the reverses they suffered
in the primaries, and the senate will
be against them. They are still claim
ing control of the house.
I'VE are hopeful of the senate"
said Rev. C. w. Stark, land we are
quite confident we will have a ma
pority in the house. Out of thirty
one doubtful districts we needed to
win eleven, and we have already heard
from several doubtful ones which we
have carried"
The prohibitionists lost their men,
mership from Freeborn county and
from Douglas, where E. E. Lobeck was
defeated, but c. L. Sulerud was re-
elected in the sixty-arst, and they won
a surprising victory in the forty-fifth,
where Frank T. White Of Elk river, a
veteran house member was defeated
by Rufus P. Morton, prohibitionist.
They also sprung surprise in Good
hue county by electing two representa-
tives, George H. Voxland and A. v.
Anderson.
The democrats have gained a. SEN
ator in Winona county, but lost in
Olmstead, where A. T. Stebbins is once
more returned. The democrats gained
in the election of C. F. Cook in Mower
county. They won again in Blue Earth,
electing Senator S. D. Works and three
house members. They also gained a
seat in Meeker county, electing E. P.
Peterson, but lost in Carver, where the
