pears to have been carried by Wood
row Wilson in three cornered fight
for the presidency. with Roosevelt
a close second and the result still In
doubt.
Governor Eberhart has been reflect
ed by plurality ranging from 100000
to $4,000.
The entire Republican state ticket
has been elected from United States
Senator Knute Nelson down, by ma
jorities greater than those accorded
the governor.
The fact that the polls closed 30
late in Minnesota resulted in meagre
returns until late hour. Ramsey
county was apparently carried by
Wilson for the presidency while Hen
nepin county went for Wilson with
Taft close second and Roosevelt
third.
Republican Victory Complete.
The victory for the Republican state
ticket is complete. State Chairman
Smith stated there was no doubt Of
Eberhart's election by at least 10000
and that it would possibly amount to
more than that. He claimed the cleo
ton of all Of the Republican state
candidates, including the railroad and
warehouse commissioners.
In every instance it was made EVIL
dent that the strength of Roosevelt
was a personal strength and not
strength gained by the third party or
ganization.
In Congressional Districts.
In the different congressional dis
tricts in Minnesota the winners have
attained their places easily.
In the First, Sidney Anderson ID
an easy winner over his Democratic
opponent. Clinton Robinson. In the
Second, w. S. Hammond Democrat,
wins by a handsome majority over F..
F. Ellsworth, author Of the resolution
which made third party ticket in
Minnesota possible. In the Third, C.
r. Davis wins by about 5000 majority
over his Democratic opponent, F. L.
Glotzbach.
The Victory Of F. c. Stevens.
The victory of F. C. Stevens in the
Fourth district was one of the unex-
pected results. Mr.. Stevens was fac.
ing bitter fight and the Democrats
had named strong man. The com.
plete defeat of Hugh T. Halbert is the
Ramsey county answer to the third
party ticket, placed in the field after
the primary nominations were made.
In Hennepin county, the victory Of
George r. Smith was expected but it's
completeness was more than had been
anticipated in view of the three cor.
nered fight made against him.
In the Sixth District, c. A. Lind.
berg is an easy winner over his
Democratic opponent. DR.. Gilkison
and A. ]. Volstead was elected with.
out opposition in the Seventh.
Clarence B, Miller, Republican, was
an easy winner over John Jenswold
in the Eighth, or Duluth district,
while Halvor Steenerson wins by q
reduced majority in the Ninth.
On the Republican state ticket,
Knute Nelson and James Manahan,
candidates for United States senator
and congressman at large. respective
ly, win by the largest majorities.
1t was not possible to completely
estimate their majorities but it is in
the neighborhood Of from 10000 to
$4,000.
The overwhelming character of the
Endorsement given by the voters to
Senator Nelson means that the senior
senator will he elected without oppo-
sition by the next legislature.
