Minneapolis, Sept. Ex-Governor

candidate for lieutenant governor, and
the present incumbents of the minor
executive offices who were up for re-
nomination have gotten by safely.
This was indicated by fairly complete
returns. P. M. Ringdal, of Crookston,
seems to have won an easy victory
over his adversary on the Democratic
side. Eight hundred and nineteen
precincts in the state outside the
Twin Cities give Nelson 24,69S and

hard pressed by Garfield and Rosen-

opinion was that their lead in the

Both Judge Mills and Mr. Elmquist
showed their anxiety over the returns
from the country. Rosenwald made a
showing that was surprising and it
may yet require the official canvass
to determine who will represent the
commission on the election ballot.
Elmquist is in the greatest danger.
Judge Mills has a lead in the country
Of 637 and Elmquist 609.
Secretary Of State Julius Schmahl

pey General Smith is third in the

Burnquist, according to the returns,
simply ran away from his rival, d. M.
Neill of Red Wing. He surged ahead
from the start and has been keeping
up the lead ever since There never
was any question regarding the nom.
ination Of Secretary of. State Schmahl.
Attorney General Smith will win out
by handsome majority.
Insurance Commissioner j. A.
Preus, early in the game predicted
that Governor Eberhart would pre-.
vail in 20 counties and his claim may
be realized. His excellency had q
substantial majority over all and the
figure is growing. w. #. Lee and E
T. Young pressed him hard in coun.
try districts during the day. but the
