have a safe majority for Hughes.
Forecast of Minnesota Difficult.
st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. S.-Minnesota

showed Wilson leading by 7,21s. 1t is

Arthur Capper carried the county

ever, in the case of Robert Stone and
H. c. Stevens in the Thirty-fifth rep
resentative district. Stone would have
been defeated if his district had been
