BURLElGH PASSES AMENDMENTS
eurleigh county will vote in ia,
vor Of the proposed CONSTITUTIONAL
amendments by more than the re-
quired majority of all the votes
cast. With but eight OF the 54
precincts missing, 5uriei9h coun-
ty voted yes 1,179 times and no
s90 times on the proposed amend
>ment making the sky the limit
for bonded Indebtedness. This is
considered the most radical Of the
leagues proposals. The vote on
. the public ownership amendment
was about the same, and Others
will carry by even larger. mar
ain. II NBurIeiqh county is any
criterion, the leagues entire pro-
gram, including the embodiment
in the constitution Of the vital
i features Of House, Bill a. carried
39th 'Burleigh county precinct .
not a single vote was registered
against the amendments, while
there was a solid vote Of 10 for
them.
Fargo, n D., Nov G.--William
Lemke, chairman of the republican
stat central + committee, today de-
clared Frazier elected by majority
Of 10000. "The reelection of Gov
error Frazier BY, 10000 majority is
now assured, asc is also the rest of
the republican state ticket by SINH
lar majorities. Lemke said. .
Bronson, who was endorsed by the
republican state central committee for
Judge of the supreme court, is assured
Of election by a majority of 20,000."
The count Of the ballots everywhere
Is slow due in part to, the added ne,
cessity of polling the vote on the
amendments, and even in Fargo the
official poll will not be completed
until perhaps noon TODAY
Few reports are in. from outlying
precincts In Cass county. Those
which are telephoned In show the
Frazier vote increa sing over that OF
the primary and Doyle running be
hind that given John Steen. Reports
from Darlington. Foster county,
DOyle's home county. give Frazier a
lead of IL votes, with the seven pre-
cincts still to report regarded as Fra
zier's. Doyle was leading in James
town with Frazier showing unexpected
strength. Forty-two precincts out OF
62 In Stutsman county, including
jamestown complete, give Frazier 46o'
and Doyle 592. According to reports
the entire ticket supported by the
NOnpartisan league has carried IN
Richland county Twenty-eight OF the
50 precincts have been heard from
All but one of the missing precincts
are in the rural district and are ex'
pccted to return good majorities for
league candidates. Hshss
First reports were. that the amend
ments had carried In this county.
Indications arc that Frazier and the
entire league state and congressional
ticket are reelected by majorities at
least equal to those of the primaries
A strong protest against Langerism
was registered in Bismarck, where the
attorney general polled the short end
of a 24-to-6O3 vote. Bismarck also
piled up substantial maiorities for all
the independent legislative candidates
and. altho Secretary Of State Thomas
Hall had no opposition, it gave him a
splendid complimentary vote.
Frazier's majority in Burleigh coun-
ty probably will be greater by 200
than it was at the primaries. Fifteen
out of 81 precincts in Burleigh county
give Doyle 686 and Frazier SAP, a lead
of ia for the democrat. This total
includes the city of Bismarck complete
and is margin which will be very
rapidly eliminated as the returns come
in from the solid league precincts tn
the country. y
County Races Interesting.
The races within. the county almost
eclipsed in interest the greater issues
of the state ticket. Probably the
greatest surprise Of the election was
the voted polled in Bismarck by Ed
ward Allen, opposing States Attor-
ney F. E. McCurdy. It was not SUR
prising that Allen should carry the
Fourth ward and possibly the fifth,
but the vote he received in the first.
second and third cannot be accounted
for, nor can the result in the sixth.
McCurdy's majority for the entire city
was but 80, the totals being 538 and
448. Fifteen precincts of 81 in Bur-
leigh give McCurdy 722 and Allen
'625.
Early returns from the Slope indi-
Gated that Doyle was holding the
Steen vote in the cities and villages,
but little if any gain over the Steen
vote was Indicated. In Mandan,
where Doyle received 1922 to Frazier's
139, the Frazier vote showed gain
of g.
Early reports from Dickinson were
that the town had gone six to one for
Doyle. Dickinson was almost equally
strong for Steen, and it is expected to
return an independent Legislative dele
cation to the house.
Frazier carried one ward in Man
dan, the first, while Doyle in the sec
ond MaRdan ward got 200 to Frazier's
