Reports of the American Press and
twin city newspapers now concede
that William E. Lee has defeated
Adolph O.. Eberhart for the Repub-
lican nomination for governor of the
state of Minnesota by close to 49,
600 votes. The same reports give
Hammond the Democratic nominal
tion over Lawler by 10000, although
Lawler was ahead early this after
noon by several hundred votes in the
returns received at the state capitol
building.
Second Choice May Decide.
Insurance Commissioner Preus is
leading Rines by small vote for the
state auditor nomination, ~ while
Block ran much stronger than had
been expected. So close is the
Rines-Preus fight that politicians at
St. Paul feel certain that the second
choice will play a large part in the
nomination.
Wilson Appears Beaten.
Indications are that F. A. Wilson,
self-alleged harmony candidate for
the senate from Bemidji, will not
be nominated, L. H. Nord of Inter-
national Falls being assured of first
place in the field of five, and Hayden
second, looks like certain winner
for the other place. While Wilson,
who is being given very small vote
in the country districts, was given
a half-hearted endorsement by Be-
midi voters, carrying the city by
only 90 votes, he will probably run
third, leading ApRoberts, Socialist
candidate, and A. A. Andrews, who
made absolutely no campaign for the
nomination.
Nord in Lead.
Beltrami county, returns having
been received from Is of the "A pre-
cincts, gives Wilson $50, Nord BAL,
ApRoberts 222, Hayden 429, and
Andrews 147. This gives Wilson a
lead in this county of only 210 over
Hayden, with the latter's strongest
precincts to be heard from; lead
over Nord of but 29S, which with 16
out of so percincts of Koochiching

Attorney General Smith Nominated
OF the state ticket Walter Smith,
for treasurer, Lyndon A. Smith for
attorney general, and Caswell for
clerk of court, are easy winners.
Socialist Vote Light
One of the largest surprises of the
primaries was the lack of Socialist
votes. Moon and Cell, county regis
ter of deeds and treasurer, respec-
lively, are the only members of the
party who are running we'll at all,
and both are assured of nomination
by handsome majorities. James Har-
ris, former register of deeds, is run
ming next to Moon for the register
of deeds nomination and although
nearly 800 votes behind is likely
nominated over McCuaig and Olson.
Alsop Appears Winner.
Henry Alsop, deputy auditor, leads
Tagley for treasurer by II votes and
it begins to look, as though the gen
eral election fight will be between
Cell and Alsop. Judge Clark and
Sheriff johnson were renominated by
large majorities.
Morrison in Third District.
For the commisaionerships Nor.
rison and Tegner are probably nom
mated in the third, and Rako and
( Lair in the first. .S
Pendergast Sure Winner.
While the north end of the county
is giving Williams a large vote, tina
