COUNTY TICKET
GOES THROUGH WITHOUT A
HITCH.-OLSON WINS OUT FOR
SHERIFF OVER BELFORD.
MALONEY, THELIN AND CESS.
NER ELECTED AS COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS

Election day passed off very quietly
in Ramsey county, and for that mat
ter in the whole state, and although
there was a light vote cast, the Re
publcans won out easily. In this
county the whole Republican ticket
won out with majorities ranging from;
few hundred up. Gronna, Hanna and
Helgesen carried the county after a
hard fight on the part~of the Demo-
cratic machine, backed by the Progress
sives. Silver Serumgard and Aaker
hardly received enough votes to know
that they were in the race. The race
for county commissioner in the Fifth
district was close one between Ole
J. Hoystad and Mr.. Gessner, and
Gessner won out by close margin.
Thelin and Maloney were reelected in
their districts. Woman suffrage
seems to have lost out in the state by
majority of about 10000.
AS we go to press it is impossible
to get the true majorities of the var
ious county and state candidates, but
there is no question but that it was a
bowling Republican victory all over
the state.
