The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1910-11-09

| Governor Burke appears to have been
re- elected for a third term, but by a
reduced majority from that by which
he won two years ago.
The earlier reports last night and
this morning showed johnson had
made big gains in the Red river val
ley counties and in the northwestern
part of the state. But Governor Burke
appears to have overcome that in the
southern and central counties.
: Many counties made little or nc
change.
The counties in which Burke made
the great gains were in Stark, Nc
Intosh, Logan, LaMoure, Dickey and
Wells.
Johnson's largest gains were in
Richland, Cass. Trail, Grand Forks,
Bottineau and Ward counties.
Johnson carried his home city by
about 100 votes and lost two years
ago by so.
Reports more or less complete, from
thirty three counties indicate to The
Forum that Burke has been elected
but the figures show by a smaller lead
over two years ago. 1t doesn't seem
possible for Johnson to overcome the
lead that Burke has at present.
The republicans have control of the
legislature and have elected both
members of congress and the entire
state ticket except governor.
The control of the legislature will
mean the reelection of Senator Nc
Gum fOV he
gresham Gronna for the short term.
The returns on the judiciary are de-
cidedly meagre, scarcely sufficient to
form even an estimate. but those so
far received indicate that Fisk, Goss,
and Burke are in the lead. The result
is In no way conclusive at this writ
ing.
The democratic state headquarters
concede everything but the governor
ship to the republicans. They reduc-
ed their estimates from 1000 to 1000
on majority.
At Bismarck the republicans claim
the election of Johnson and state that
the reports of committeeman indicate
he has won by over 5000. The figures
obtained independently by The Forum,
however, do not substantiate that
claim
Some reports by counties are:
