The political complexion OF the Fif-
teenth legislative assembly remains
somewhat in doubt. On the face of
early returns there would seem to be
come question as to the Non Partisan
leagues having nndispnted sway in
the senate. While it has lost house
members in several important dis
tricta. the league will prevail without
question in that branch Such war
horses as Senator NJ. L. Mcbride OF
Dickinson. from the 3lst, and Senator
Hans r. Jacobson of Mott, from the
49th, have been returned with big ma
jOrities over their Non-Partisan op-
ponents. The 31st returns two veter-
an members of the house-H. J. Blan.
chard, Of Dickinson. and Claude c.
Turner, of GladstOne-and H. A. Mac
koff of Belaeld is elected on the same
ticket to succeed Frank X. Wanner of
Dickinson, who lost out in the primer

On the other. hand, Senator Walter
R. Bond Of Minot went down in defeat
before Thorwald Mostad, the, Non.
Partisan league nominee running on

from Ward county. Nineteen precincts

of two Non.Partisan representatives to
the house.
