Vote is Very Close in Minnesota and

Victory

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
San Francisco.-Late returns from
5,347 precincts in California gave
Woodrow Wilson a plurality Of 4,4le.
Republicans and democrats alike
professed to hnd comfort in those
figures. Campaign leaders analysed
them to bits and emerged with pre-.
dictions OF modest but sure success.
The Hgures showed san Francisco
virtually complete with a majority
for Wilson upon which his supporters
relied to a considerable extent to
carry the state. Los Angeles, how
ever, with majority for Hughes,
had lis precincts yet left to be
counted. The outlying counties were
IN dispute.
Indications from available figures
complete that prohibition and liquor
restrictions alike were lost were not
admitted by the leaders of the dry"
federation to become conclusive In
any degree. They claimed the tri.
umph Of both amendments.

Result Will Be Decided by Vote Of {
Few Western States.

New York.-Even this late after
the American people cast their presi-
Dental ballots the result still is in
doubt and the contest between Presi-
dent Wilson and Charles r.. Hughes
has narrowed down to a point where
it may be decided by a few western
states. 1t IL possible that the votes
of national guardsmen ON border duty
may turn some Of the doubtful states
from one column to another.
Based on actual returns received by
the Associated Press the electoral col
lege now gives Hughes 239 votes;
Wilson 232, and leaves sixty doubtful.
Two of the metropolitan newspe pers
which supported Mr.. Hughes give him
252 votes. President Wilson 26l, and

dent, agrees with its contemporaries

GOES EMOCRATlC
Custer County Goes for Wilson and Candy
Republican Electors and State
Ticket Elected.

He kept us out of war" in Custer
county was very evident last Tuesday.
There appeared to be very little excite
ment over either the county or stat e
ticket. The only contests on the county
ticket were for county treasurer, super
intendent of schools and com NJ issoner
in the third district.
j. w Starbuck, democratic candidate
for county treasurer, was elected over |.
NJ. Donaldson, republican, by majority
Of "a.
Ethel Montgomery, republican, was
| elected county superintendent of schools
over Alta Jane Scott, democrat, by a
majority OF l0G
Stanley Calau, democrat, was elected
county commissioner in the third dis.
trict by majority of 81.
The balance of the candidates on the
county ticket received the usual party
vote. Details of the vote by precincts
for the whole county will be found else
" here in this issue.
From the re suits of the vote on the
Suffrage amendment it is apparent that
a fair majority Of the men in this coun-
ty are either hen-pecked or very much
in love with their wives We think it
is the latter, for we only know of one
hen-pecked husband. This amendment
carried by majority of 100, The wo-
men are claiming the state by 10000
Prohibition carried in this
county by majority of 1875. Indi
cations are that it will carry throughout
the state by a majority of 25,000. The
Good Roads amendment seems to be re-
ceiving about the same vote as the suf-
frage and prohibition amendments. Our
county roads are not 80 good but that
they could be little better. So we
voted right.
The county vote on the national and
state tickets showed decide tcmocra-
tic tendency, Wilson receivir- n spen.
did plurality. This county VS. The only
one in the Hills to give RnCAcrta ma
jority
The strong fight all owe" t. Hills
against Candy seems to have turned
things in his favor. He carried every
county in the Hills by good majority,
and indications are that he will carry
the district by 1900 or better.
The contest for State Senator from
this district is very close but it is thought
that Anderson has won by majority of
about %. Mr.. Coons, the republican
candidate, was considerably handicap
ped by the fact that he did not get into
the race until few weeks ago when he
was appointed to run in place of He'd
rick, resigned. Coons carried this coun.
ty but was not able to overcome the
lead of his opponent in Fall River
county.
The entire state Republican tick ct
seems TO have been elected. Norbeck
will probably have majority Of p, OGJ
over Rinehart. Hughes carries the state
by about 1900. The vote was very
heavy in the eastern part of the state
and Norbeck made big gains.
Butte, Custer, Meade and Lawrence
counties all gave Wilson a majority, but
the vote in Lawrence county is close
OF those elected on the county ticket in
Butte county about half are republican
and half democratic. Practically all of
the republican county candidates in the
other counties named
