Fergus County Democrat. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1904-1919, 1912-11-05

republican states. There was not a |
break in the solid South and the West
went uniformly for Wilson.
The next congress will be demo-
cratic by an overwhelming majority
and late returns indicate that the SEN
ate has also been won by that party.
Most Of the states elected democratic
state tickets throughout and thousands
Of democratic county candidates were
elected In former republican strong
holds.
Montana followed the splendid prece-
dent set by more than forty Of her
sister states, east and west, north and
south, and rolled up big democratic
majorities. Wilson will have plu-
raIity over Taft of more than ten
thousand and over Roosevelt Of from
five to eight thousand. Walsh has
poIIed more votes than Smith and
Dixon combined. Dixon is strong
second, with Smith very poor third.
Both Evans and Stout, democratic can
didates for congress, are eeIcted, and
Stewart, democratic candidate for gov
ernor, has carried the entire state
ticket across the line with him by plu-
ralities ranging from five to ten thou
sand votes. All available returns up
to date indicate that the progressives,
or bull moose, are second, with the
poor old g. 0. p. again a bad third.
The socialists polled great vote
throughout the state.
Like their brethren elsewhere, the
democrats Of Fergus county were right
on the job. In practically every pre-
cinct in the county the entire ticket
is running far ahead Of the progress
sives, who are second and greatly be-
yond the republicans. Twenty-seven
precincts out Of forty-eight In the
For president: Wilson, 784; Roosevelt,
g57; Taft, 45a. For U. s. senator:
Walsh, ss2; Dixon, 5ee; Smith, 367.
For congress: Stout, 1907; Evans,
701; Pray, $40; Alien, 417. Progress
sive totals not made up, but exceed
those of republican candidates. For
governor: Stewart, e53; Edwards, 613;
Wilson, 529. For lieutenant governor:
Symmes, progressive, is leading Nc
Dowell by slight margin. Kinney,
republican, bad third. All other
democratic candidates on state ticket
are elected with pluralities approxi-
mately the same as that of Stewart.
Roy e. Ayers, candidate against
Judge Cheadle for district judge, has
won a phenomenal victory. His vote,
up to date, in Fergus county is 1860
to 700 for Cheadle. Meagher county
is also going for Ayers, whose ma
jority will probably touch the thousand
mark in the district. Phillips, Bur-
nett, Drinkard and Jewell, four demo-
cratic candidates for the legislature,
are safely elected, with the bull moose
| candidates running second. The votes
Of the democratic candidates are as
follows: Burnett, 907; Jewell, 734;
Phillips, 899; Drinkard, 764. The pro-
gressive candidates are second, with
| Hogeand leading. For commissioner,
Allen has a safe lead with 799 votes.
Frank Day, the old pioneer, who was
the republican candidate, ran ahead of
his ticket, but is topped by Wentworth,
progressive. WentWorth's vote In pre-
cincts heard from is 462. Tuliock has
an overwhelming lead over Woods, his
nearest opponent. His vote, up to
date, is 875. Poland is also big win
ner, while Cunningham simply made a
runaway race Of it with his two op-
ponents. He will have clean ma.
jority and plurality Of seven or eight
hundred. The closest race Of the day
is between Martin, Cook and Baker,
candidates for clerk of the court. Mar
tin, democrat, however, has safe
lead. The vote to date Is: Martin,
670; Baker, 5o7; Cook, 425. Marshall
simply swept his field and will have
six or seven hundred to spare. Cur
nett, Miller, Durnen and 6untin are
also big winners, with the race still
close between creel, republican, and
keenen, democrat, candidates for cor
oner.
The many local friends Of Prof. n.
A. Davee, democratic candidate for
superintendent Of public instruction
for the state, will be gratined to know
that he Is running we'll up with the
leaders on his ticket throughout the
state and will win by a very decisive
plurality. He received handsome
majority and an enormous plurality
here In his homo county.
