Over Williams is Now Certain.
S Graham NJ. Torrance's election as
county attorney is now almost GER
tain and as the returns from the va
rious precincts are brought in it ap-
pears that his majority will be be-
tween 800 and 500. Late this after
noon, with thirty-three precincts
heard from, his lead over. Funkley
was 259, with nearly every incoming
count slightly increasing it. He
carried the city of Bemidji by 166.
Torrance made his campaign for re-
election purely on his record as
public official and the vote is a high
endorsement of his capability and eff
iciency. The vote stands, Torrance
1870, Funkley 1921.
Nord Has Walk-Away.
While the Pioneer has at all times
urged the election of Leonard H.
Nord for the state senate, it had be-
lieved the race would be close and
the overwhelming defeat which he
has administered to F. A. Wilson is
a big surprise. Wilson is only car
rying few scattering precincts in
his own county and with 1900 votes
heard from in Koochiching county,
he had carried but one town. It is
predicted that Nord will win by q
majority Of at least 500.
Carries Bemidji.
The distinct surprise was the
strength shown by Nord in Bemidji,
carrying the home city of Wilson by
48 votes, losing only the third ward.
The home ward of Wilson, the sse-
ond, gave Nord majority OF six
votes; the fourth 49,, and the first
five. Wilson carried the third by
twelve votes. The vote, Wilson 852,
Nord 1,1O9.
What Koochiching Did.
Koochiching county reports give
Nord 1913 and Wilson 377, the votes
of the following precincts being in
Guided: Meadow Brook, Information
al Falls, Rat Root, Jameson, Bear
River, Dinner Creek, Indus (Which
Wilson carried, % to 81, Henry,
Northome, Evergreen, Sault, Mantiou.
Rainier, Needing, South Information
al Falls and Big Falls. Nords home
town gave him a vote of 429 to 1854.
.. Moon is Winner.
Charles o. Moon has been re-elect-
ed register of deeds by a majority of
at least 600 and not only did he
carry Bemidji by 81 votes, but is
carrying practically all incoming pre-
cincts over his opponent, J. O. Har-
ris. With 35 of the rs precincts
heard from, Moon was leading by
vote of 1880 to S75 late this after
noon. Harris carried the first ward
in Bemidji, 80 to IS, lost the second,
100 to IS, lost the third, 1876 to "a,
and carried the fourth by one vote,
~ to 70.
"Pendy" to Win.
That L. G. Pendergast has been
elected representative Is now almost
certain. He is sweeping the south
ern end of Beltrami county and was
given rousing vote in Bemidji, his
present lead being 1880 to 700. It
is not believed that the vote Of VIII
liams in the north end will be SUI
ficient to elect him, considering the
fact that his 200 lead at Baudette is
included in these figures.
The Pioneer extra was in error
when it stated that Nord carried
Baudette, Wilson being given vote
of 1876 to Is.
Mckee Believed Winner.
Fl. N. Mckee and Garfield Akerberg
are running close in the race for cor
oner, there being but about 100 Diff
ference, with the former regarded as
the winner. The vote, Mckee 500,
Akerberg 900.
Clark Reelected.
M. A. Clark, judge Of probate, has
been reelected by about 500 votes,
while Cell will defeat Alsop two to
one. Auditor George, Clerk Of Court
Rhoda and Sheriff Johnson are being
ehdorsed by fattering votes in ell
parts of the county, and they will be
victorious by large majorities.
Rako Thanks Voters.
A 3. ako, reelected commission
er HI tile first district, is highly elat-
ed over his victory and this after
noon thanked the voters for the trust
placed in him.
John Morrison leads Hayes by fifty
votes for commissioner in the third
idistrict and it is expected that he will
win.
