heavy gains Tuesday but not enough
to overcome the democratic majority
in congress. The probabilities are
that both branches of congress will
be democratic for the next two years.
{ Uncle Joe Cannon and other old
time republicans are among the
winners.
In this state Anderson in the
First, Ellsworth in the second,
Davis in the Third, Smith in the
Fifth, Lindbergh in the Sixth,
Volstead in the Seventh, Miller in
the Eighth, STEVENSON in the Ninth,
and Schall in the Tenth, all repub-
licans, are winners. Ellsworth takes
Hammond's place in the Second. It
is to be regretted that Fred C.
Stevens for Is successive years con-
gresham from the Fourth district
has been defeated by G. G. Van
Dyke, democrat. The latter will be
the only democrat in the Minnesota
delegation.
William e. Lee has been defeated
by W. S. Hammond for governor by
a plurality that may reach 10000.
Ramsey county gave $4,000 plurality
for Hammond, Hennepin 5000 and
St. Louis about $500. Lee is not
running as strong in the rural dis
tricts as was expected, and it is
hardly probable that Hammond's
lead can be overcome or materially
reduced.
In the city of Minneapolis Nye
defeated Williams for mayor by a
plurality of over 5000.
The anti-county optionists claim
a majority in both branches of the
state legislature.
Returns from Mile Laos county
are not all in yet. Seven precincts
remain to be heard from, but it is
not thought that the returns from
the missing precincts will materially
affect: the result locally or in the
Legislative district The seven pre-
cincts from which no figures have
been obtained are Daley, East Side,
Isle Harbor, Onamia town and
village: Kathio and South Harbor.
The total vote in these precincts two
years ago aggregated 378.
In the precincts heard from Lee
has 769 and Hammond 619. Lees
plurality over Hammond in the
county will be about $50.
For congress Schall has 6l4, Jepson
5l4 and Swanson 40. Schall's
plurality will be about 200.
For representative Hunt has 1928,
Peterson 1856 and Holmes 673. Hunts
majority in Mile Laos county will
be about 100, but Holmes beats him
in both Sherburne and Kanabec and
will undoubtedly be elected by about
300 majority.
For the county Offices in which
there we're contests IL precincts gave
Myron for county attorney 9s3 and
Mcmillan 6S7. Myron's majority will
be slightly over 200. For register of
deeds II precincts gave Osterberg
1905 and Goulding 400. The miss
| ing precincts will increase Osterberg's
lead. For sheriff Shockley ran like
scared deer; eleven precincts gave
him l,l72, Scalberg 279, Wilkes 25l-
the latter's name did not appear on
the ballot, his friends used sticke1s
and wrote in his name. The pre-
cincts to be heard from will add to
Shockley's majority.
For commissioner in the second
district tremendously John Grow re-
ceived 12l votes to Robert S. Shaw's
80. In the fourth district (Fores-
ton, Milo, Milaca town and village
and Page) F. W. Thomas beats Carl
Sholin by over 200 votes. Mr.. Sholin
was Woodworking and faithful Of
fetal who always tried to do his duty
as he perceived it. But he had a
large district with many diverse in
terests and he could not please every
body. 49,.
| AS far as heard from none of the
eleven constitutional amendments
received majority of the votes cast
in the county. The bulk of the
voters did not vote either way.
The total vote of the county will
be close to 1900.
In our next issue will appear a
tabulated statement showing the
complete vote of the county by pre-
cincts. .--..* -. -..
