Third Congressional District

The race for congress in the Third
district which has been a nip and
tuck affair from the moment of the
first returns is now showing Con-
gresham William LaFollette as the
probable winner from returns from
the greater number of precincts in
all but two counties. Congressman
LaFollette now has lead of 1914
votes over Drumheller. who leads
Goodwin by 813 votes
Goodwin went out of Spokane
county in the lead by over 1000 votes
but LaFollette quickly overcame this
advantage in the country precincts
and the race soon grew between
Drumheller and LaFollette.
In the vote which represents pre-
cincts from all but Grant and Ferry
counties LaFollette has 21,42O,
Drumheller 20106, and Goodwin 49,
2q3.
