FOR ROOSEVELT
STATE TICKET REPUBLICAN
Governor Eberhart Increases
His Lead Over Ringda|.

ct. Paul, Nov. 7.-Colonel Roosevelt,
in all probability, has carried Mime
sofa by plurality of from $4,000 to
10000. Returns from two-thirds OF
the precincts of the state give him"a
comfortable lead of nearly 5000 oyer
Wilson and country precincts are in
~creasing his plurality. The Indications
are that Taft's vote, in spite Of many |
claims of big gains for him. will not
greatly exceed the mark Of $4,000 set
for him by politicians before the cleo |
ton.
The country voters IN Minnesota
stood by Roosevelt solidly. Wilson,
emerging from st. Paul and Mime
.apolis with a plurality Of 5000, met
Roosevelt pluralities in nearly every
farm county of the state and his lead
was out down steadily in the tabulat-
ing. Duluth and st. Louis county
alone gave Roosevelt a plurality of
more than 5000 over Wilson and the
northern tier of counties added more
Roosevelt votes.
Colonel Gains on Wilson.
One thousand, eight hundred and
eighty of the 1900 precincts in the
state, including those in Hennepin
and Ramsey counties, gave Roosevelt
1885, Wilson SALT, Taft 50,799.
Roosevelt is gaining an average OF
seven and one-half votes to the pre-
cinct over Wilson in the country and
should he continue these gains his
plurality will be about $4,000.
The big Roosevelt vote in st. Paul
and the correspondingly low Taft
vote was one of the surprises OF the
election. Chisago and Washington
counties gave handsome Roosevelt
pluralities that swung the Fourth
congressional district for Roosevelt.
Complete returns may show that the
Progressive nominee has carried
every congressional district In the
state save the Fifth, which includes
the city of Minneapolis. He has car
ried at least fifty-four of the eighty
six counties of the state; Wilson ap-
parently has carried about twenty-five,
TAFT three ana the rest dIo III uOuOt'
Collins 10 Far Behind.
The entire Republican state ticket
is safe. Governor Eberhart's indicated
plurality is between 10000 and 100000.
Returns from 1926 Of the 1900 pre-
cincts in the state gave Eberhart 3d.
900. Ringdal 77,003 and Collins 21,066,
with Eberhart making slight gains In
REPORTS from additional country pre-
cincts.
Governor Eberhart has carried ap-
proximately seventy of the eighty-six
counties of the state and is gradually
increasing his plurality over P. M.
Rinxdal. A real feature of the state
election was the apparent strength OF
e. F.. Lobeck, Prohibition candidate
for governor. Lobeck carried Douglas
county over, Eberhart and all the 9TH
or candidates, complete returns CIV
ing Lobeck 1,1O5, Eberhart 906, Ring
.dal 476 and Collins 271.
United States Senator Knute Nelson
led the entire state ticket, according
to returns tabulated from all parts of
Minnesota The sage Of Alexandria,
from 1,495 scattered precincts through
out the state received 102,165 votes,
.distancing Governor Eberhart by about
5000 and Theodore Roosevelt by mire
than 10000. Ira B. Mills led the ticket
tor state officers except for that OF
governor with 1854 votes from 1.266
precincts. -.- ~
