Messrs. Brown, Bum and Holt Su-
preme Bench Winners.-Nelson
Wins BY Majority of
66,114.

st. Paul, Nov Theodore Roose
welt is in the lead in Minnesota.
After having been first in the VIII
son column, then doubtful, then in the
Wilson column again, the state again
switched to Roosevelt.
Out of an approximate total Of 5000
precincts in the state, 1880 precincts
complete at midnight gave Roosevelt
Q lead of a little over 1000 votes.
Should he maintain this lead he will
carry the state by about $4,000.
In view of the way the returns have
oscillated there is still a possibility
that Wilson may carry the state, but
this is doubtful. The precincts named
above give Roosevelt, 81 ,985; Wilson,
SALT; and President Taft, 50,799.
Wilson secured a good lead in the
Twin Cities, but Roosevelt ran ahead
In the iron country and in the Red
River Valley.
The same returns which increased
the lead of Colonel Roosevelt also in.
creased the lead of Governor Eber.
hart and his indicated majority is in
the neighborhood of from 10000 to
10000.
Mr.. Brown Chief Justice.
Calvin S. Brown, associate justice
of the supreme court, has been elect.
ed chief justice by strong majority
and the other winners for place on
the bench are Associate Justices
George L. Bum of st. Paul and An.
Oscar Hallam of the Ramsey district
bench appears to be defeated.
Il w2S thought that Justice Holt
had been defeated, but later returns
gave hin a lead CO 10000 in nenrepin
while the returns from the country
wiped out the balance against him
that the early returns indicated. JUS
tice Brown has a lead of nearly 49,
600. The third, or losing, place 10
still in doubt, with Bum in the lead.
Returns from 1880 precincts gave

The Vote on Governor.
With over half of the 1888 precincts
in the state reporting. Governor Eber-
hart was credited with a total of 49,.
319, Ringdal 76,043, and Collins, 20,-
S84. Governor Eberharts lead over
his principal rival was 22,276.
The surprising feature of the re-
turns as far as the governorship is
concerned was the heavy vote cast
for f. f. Lobeck, the Prohibitionist
candidate. He ran far ahead of Col
Inns, the third party candidate.
Lobeck carried his home county,
Douglas, by substantial majority,
and pushed the two leading candi-
dates hard in number of the other
counties. In Douglas county he poll
ed 1.105 to 500 for Governor Eber-
hart and 2T1 for Ringdal.
Collins vote is regarded as disap-
pointment as the Democrats were
confident that he would pull down
from 10000 to $4,000 votes He was
regarded as a menace to the Demo-
cratic candidate and everything pos
sible was done by the leaders to keep
votes away from him.
Senator Nelson Endorsed.
Senator Nelson is overwhelmingly
indorsed His majority will be fully
$4,000. The 1,495 precincts in the
state received SO far give the senior
senator 102,165 and D. w. Lawler, his
Democratic opponent, CELIA
James Manahan, for congressman
at-large is also big winner. His
majority will be in the $4,000 class
and may be even greater He now
has 81,307 votes to his credit, with
40,677 for Buell., his Democratic op-
ponent
]. A. A. Burnquist, the Republican
candidate for lieutenant governor, is
now nearly 10000 to the good. At
midnight his vote was 1922. VIM
Powers, his Democratic rival, was
credited with 47,46S votes. This was
on the basis of returns from 1,199
precincts.
Judge Ira B. Mills of the railroad
and warehouse commission may have
the honor of leading the Republican
ticket in the vote cast, though he is
hard pressed by Secretary of State
Schmahl The third party candidates
handicapped them but little.
Both Judge Mills and C. e. Elm
quist, the present Republican men,
!bers of the railroad and warehouse
commission, are safe. Returns from
il,255 precincts received at midnight,
jgave Mills 1854. Reiter, Democrat.
