LOYAL DEMOCRATS VOTE FOR BURNQUIsT PARTY VOTE
CAST NOTHING. MORTON REPORTS IL
SOCIALIST" VOTES IN THAT VILLAGE

The vote at the Primary election
held Monday, June II, was heavy,
showing that both loyalist and dis
loyalist candidates were thoroughly
awakened to the necessity of action
and in many cases the votes between
the two factions were surprisingly
close.
FOR GOVERNOR
Returns for Redwood County were
not complete at the time of going 20
press, 80 of the 43 precincts having
reported on the governor vote and
the vote for representative and l.
precincts on the various other state
offices. These 80 precincts show
Burnquist in the lead with 2204 votes
20 Lindberg's 1854. The strong
Lindberg vote was found in Johnson
vile where he got "a to Burnquist's
33; Morgan, which gave him sc to
Burnquist's 81, New Avon II to 40,
Vail So to Al, Waterbury SO to rs
and Morgan village 81 to 70. T. is
a significant fact that Peterson, the
jailbird candidate for senator against
Knute Nelson also ran strong i'll
these same townships, in most cases
and that apparently the voters in
these townships believed Malmberg,
julius Schmahrs opponent for secre-
tary of state was person of the
same classification as Peterson and
Lindberg as his vote also ran strong
er here than elsewhere.
FOR SENATOR
The twelve precincts which have
reported on United States senator
give Knute Nelson 819 votes and
Jim Peterson 326. While this shows
safe majority for Nelson and prac-
tically assures him the vote of the
county it is zoo close to be credit
to Redwood county voters.
FOR SECRETARY
The same twelve precincts report
ing on Secretary of State give
Schmahl 1872 votes to Malmberg'
1885, The Malmberg vote ran heavi-
est in the nonpartisan districts, al
though he did not have the non-par-
tisan endorsement.
FOR REPRESENTATIVE
Strong local interest centered
around the vote for representative
for Redwood county, there being five
candidates in the field, one of them
John Hines, carrying the non-parti-
san endorsement. The thirty-n
precincts heard from give the
vote as follows: Bendixen 994, Hines
500, Stewart 1853, Danielson 499 ano
Thayer ITO. This may change some
what but hardly sufficiently te
change the lead Bendixen and Hines
have over the others and it is as
sured these two will contest the gen
eral election.
