st. Paul, Nov. 7.-Theodore Roose
velt 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 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
pscillated there is still a possibility
that Wilson may carry the state, but
this is doubtful. The precincts named
above give Roosevelt, 91,9s5; Wilson.
SALT; and President Taft, 50,799.
Wilson secured 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.
drew Holt of Minneapolis. Judge
Oscar Hallam of the Ramsey district
bench appears to be defeated.
1t was thought that Justice Holt
had been defeated, but later returns
gave him lead of 10000 in Hennepin
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,.
900. The third, or losing, place ia
still in doubt, with Bum in the lead.
Returns from 1880 precincts gave
Brown 58,27S, Stanton $4,000. Stewart
30,583, Holt 62,454, Bum 5S,49S, Hal.
lam 1921.
The Vote on Governor.
With over half of the 1858 precincts
in the state reporting, Governor Eber.
hart was credited with total of 49,.
319, Ringdal 76,043, and Collins, TO-.
1884. Governor Eberhart's 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 E. E. Lobeck, the Prohibitionist
candidate. He ran far ahead of Col.
Inns, the third party candidate.
Lobeck carried his home county,
Douglas, by a substantial majority,
and pushed the two leading candi.
dates hard in a number of the other
counties. In Douglas county he poll.
ed 1,105 to 906 for Governor Eber.
hart and 271 for Ringdal.
Collins vote is regarded as a disap.
pointment as the Democrats were
confident that he would pull down
from 100000 to $4,000 votes. He was
regarded as menace to the Demo.
cratic candidate and everything pos.
sible was done by the leaders to keep
votes away from him.
Senator Nelson lndorsed.
Senator Nelson is overwhelmingly
Endorsed. His majority will be fully
$1,000. The 1896 precincts in the
state received so far give the senior
senator 102,165 and D. w. Lawler, hia
Democratic opponent, 66,114.
James Manahan, for congressman.
at-large, 10 also a big winner. His
majority will be in the 10000 class
and may be even greater. He now
has 81,307 votes to his credit, with
40,677 for Buell., his Democratic op
ponent.
J. A. A. Burnquist, the Republican
candidate for lieutenant governor, ia
now nearly 10000 to the good. AT
midnight his vote was 73,242 Winn
Powers, his Democratic rival, was
credited with 47,468 votes. This was
on the basis of returns from 1873
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 il
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 mem.
bers of the railroad and warehouse
commission, are safe. Returns from
1885 precincts received at midnight,
gave Mills 1854, Reiter, Democrat
61,03S.
Iowa Claimed for Whom.
