st. Paul, Nov. 4.-Winfeld Scott
Hammond, st. James, Mimi, seems to
have been elected Governor of Mime
sofa by safe plurality, though the
returns from the country districts are
still very incomplete. The districts
thought to be for Mr.. Lee by fairly
safe margins have gone for Mr.. Ham
mond. Those supposed to be almost
solid for Lee have been carried by
Mr.. Lee by small pluralities.
Big Cities for Hammond.
Hennepin county is Hammond by
fully 5000. Ramsey by more. ST.
Louis has gone almost two to one for
the Democratic nominee.
1t is apparent that Mr.. Lee carried
only two Minneapolis wards, the Eighth
and Thirteenth, though the Second
may be his. The First ward smoth-
cred Mr.. Lee three and four to one.
Mr.. Hammond is slightly ahead in the
Second. The Third is Hammond by
better than two to one. Mr.. Hammond
has carried the Fourth and the Fifth
by nice pluralities. The Sixth also
is his. He has run three to two in the
Seventh. Prese..L igures show that
Mr.. Lee has carried the Eighth by a
ratio of only Is to II. The Ninth is
three to two Hammond. The Tenth
is Hammond. The Eleventh is Ham
mond easily. The Twelfth may be
close, but the figures show Mr.. Ham
mond. Mr.. Lee will carry the Thir-
teenth by fair vote only.
Four to One In Ramsey.
The vote is four to one against Mr..
Lee in Ramsey. Astonishing as it may
seem, coun.s.r ike Kandiyohi, in
which there is not a saloon and in
which the Scandinavian population,
supposedly for county option, is strong,
keep reporting precincts which give
Mr.. Hammond the plurality. This Is
not to say that Mr. Hammond carries
Kandipohi.
Two hundred and eighty precincts
out of 2,700 in state outside of Twin
Cities give Lee 15,411, Hammond II,
I'll.
Hammond gains with every report
from the country districts.
State Officers Republican.
The Republicans seem to have elect
ed the rest of their state ticket in
Minnesota.
The Republicans have also appar-
emily elected all their congressional
nominees with the exception of Low
ell E. Jepson in the new Tenth dis
trict, where all predictions are upset
on early returns and Thomas D..
Schall, the blind Progressive nominee,
is leading.
Republicans Carry Wisconsin.
Milwaukee, Nov. 14.-Returns from
Wisconsin, while far from being CON-
plete, indicated that Emanuel l.. Phil
ipp, Republican, of Milwaukee, has
defeated Judge John c. Karel, Demo-
crat, of Milwaukee, for governor by
at least $4,000 votes. John ]. Blaine,
Independent, is running a very poor
third.
Philip undoubtedly will carry with
him the balance of his ticket.
AS far as heard from Republicans
have elected six congressman, the
Democrats one, leaving four districts
in doubt.
The Fourth and Fifth districts,
which take in parts of Milwaukee,
may possibly elect two Social Demo-
Gratis in place of two Republican in
cumbents. The Sixth and Ninth dis
tricts are close between Democrats
and Republicans.
The indications are that practically
all of the proposed constitutional
amendments have been defeated
The contest for United States sem
between Governor Francis e. Meow
ern, Republican of Milwaukee, and
Paul o. Husting, Democrat, of May
vile. Emil Seidel, the Social Demo-
crat candidate of Milwaukee, is rum
ming strong only in Milwaukee.
State Officers Reelected.
st. Paul.-Despite the fact that the
gubernatorial race was close, the Re-
publican nominees for state offices ap-
parentiy have been elected without
exception.
]. A. A. Burnquist, present lieuten-
ant governor, is reelected by a large
plurality. There was not much evil
dence that these who scratched Mr..
Lee for Mr.. Hammond extended the
courtesy to Charles M. Andrist, Demo
cratic nominee for lieutenant COVER
nor.
]. A. o. Preus will be the next state
auditor. He was forced by illness to
abandon his campaign. but the voters
give him vote which places him al.
ready far In the lead of his Demo-
cratic opponent, A. j. Rush. Il 81
o. p. B. jacobson, Republican nomi-
nee for railroad and warehouse com
missioner, also is assured that the
voters have preferred him to Loren A.
Smith of Martin County, his Demo-
cratic farmer opponent. +,
Lyndon A. Smith Wins.
The voters approved the admins
tration Of Lyndon A. Smith and have
reelected him attorney general. Neil
NJ. Cronin of Minneapolis was the
