REPUBLICANS WIN
PROBABLE RESULT
GENERAL CLAIMS MADE BY THE
NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS
POINT THAT WAY
DEMOCRATS Do NOT ADMIT THEIR DEFEAT
State And County Republican With
Good Observation-Disclosures And
Democrats About Tie

The general election all OVer the
country seems to point to republican
control of at least the lower house OF
the next congress. The senate is not
so sure a proposition. Both of the
national headquarters are claiming to
have won, but the claims of the DEM
ocrats do not seem TO be as we'll sup
ported by the figures and returns as
do the claims of the republicans.
In the state Governor Norbeck, Sen
ator Sterling and Congressman John
son all win with comfortable MAORI
ties, the soldier vote Of the state
would not change this if it all went
against them, which no one would
think for a moment is possible. For
the legislature the republican county
ticket is very safe, but as four pre-
cincts are still missing at moo today,
it is impossible to give figures in to-
tai. Nolan, Nyman and Johnson all
win over their democratic opponents
with ease. The vote for Sheriff
MINER, who was a candidate for clerk
of courts, was much less than his
friends had expected and Herman
Johnson has a fine majority. Will
Bohlke made a good run for register
of deeds and need not feel ashamed
of his vote. The absence of Neal
Donaldson in service did not seem to
help him in getting votes. The coun-
ty has once more returned in full to
the rpnnh1inan ranks for which oil
good republicans will be devotedly
thankful. If, however, it was a case
of the best man, then there is no
doubt how the people felt in the mat
ter.
