It has been impossible to check up
the returns Of the democratic votes.
There was only one fight in their
ranks, and that was for the national
committeemanship. However. the dem
ocrats apparently flocked to the stand
ard of the progressive republican,
since in Bismarck they cast less than
one per cent of Their normal vote, and
In some Of the other communities they
cast an even smaller percentage.
Hence there is little known Of the
situation in the democratic contest.
Returns have been coming in more

ing late bulletins from various Sec
tions of the state give the outlook at
