ing Returns.


Minneapolis. - 1t seems Governor
Eberhart and Knute Nelson are win
ners in the state primary held Tues
day. This was indicated by the early
returns. They came in slowly and
only scattering results Vere obtained
at midnight, but those received indi-
Gated the result named.
The vote for Governor Eberhart
showed the executive about even and
possibly ahead of all the opposition.
The early returns also indicated that
Lee would run second, Young third,
and Gordon fourth. Spooner and Falk
seemed to be running close for last
place, D.
In Minneapolis the returns on gov
ernor are not all in. The early count
is being devoted to the count on may
orally election. Some slight indica-
ton of the possible results was given
by the result in Wayzata, Hennepin
county, which gives Eberhart 10; Falk,
2; Gordon, 1; Lee, 8; Spooner, z;
Young, II.
In st. Paul early indications pointed
to the fact that Eberhart had swept
the city.
Nelson Carries Ramsey.
Knute Nelson seems to have carried
Ramsey county by close margin
over Peterson for United States SEN
ator. In the Ninth precinct of the
First ward, st. Paul Scandinavian
ward, Eberhart had a clear majority
over all, while Peterson beat Nelson
about 8 to /.
For lieutenant governor J. A. A.
Burnquist appears to have won a clear
majority over d. M. Neill.
For ongressman-at-large Manahan
appears to be in the lead, with Eddy
next and Eustis third. In one st. Paul
precinct Dehnel had more votes than
all the others. For attorney general
Lyndon Smith appears to have clear
majority over Thomas Fraser. For
railroad and warehouse commissioner
Ira B. Mills appears to be nominated
over e. H. Garfield and c. e. Elm
quist Is nominated over j. F. Rosen-
valid.
SchmahI In Lead.
For secretary of state julius
Schmahl appears to have wide mar
gin over G. s. Mattson. Mr.. Mattson
had thrown his influence for Lee for
governor. yet two precincts in Roseau
county, including the city of Roseau,
gave Eberhart ~ and the field 6.
In all the early returns it was clear
hat few voters availed themselves of
the second choice feature of the pri-
mary. The second choice vote will be
less than 10 per cent of the entire
vote, hardly large enough to alter the
result even if Eberhart should fail to
have clear majority of the votes
east. ....|
The reports on governor from all
over the state were typical In parts
where Eberhart was supposed to be
weakest, as in Fairbault county, he
maintained his big lead.
In the Seventh congressional district
where A. J. Volstead is supported by
J. Bowling, Volstead appears to be the
clear winner. ....t..
E. T. Young, one of the Republican
candidates for governor, was among
The early seekers for election returns.
He was among the first to read the bull
tetins at the state capitol and they
evidently convinced him.
1T looks pretty much like Eber-
hart" said Mr.. Young, after reading
the news from st. Paul and several
bulletins from outside counties.
