NONP PARTY TICKET
HEAD STRONGER
THAN IN BALLOT
AT The PRIMARY
Miss Nelson Carrie e S
League Strongholds and
Gains Big Lead

Lynn j. Frazier has been re-elect-
ed governor of North Dakota, his
majority over s. J. Doyle being in ex-
cess Of 10000. The vote probably
will be about between 10000 and Co.
600 for Mr.. Frazier, and between 35,-
900 and 10000 for Mr.. Doyle.
Miss Minnie J. Nelson, with trem-
endous gains over her primary vote
in which she was only about $500
behind N. G.. Macdonald, has been
elected superintendent Of public in
struction. Mr.. Macdonald has failed
to make gains and, in many in
stances, is losing counties that have
been carried by the Nonpartisans
with quite substantial majorities.
steele and Traill counties, both
Nonpartisan strongholds, in the
first Of which Mr.. Frazier was
given a lead of about three to
one, the vote being $40 to PSI
with 10 Of 26 precincts in, and in
the second Of which Frazier leads
by 800 furnish an index to the
Nelson strength. Miss Nelson
carried the 10 precincts in Steele
county, 749 to 672, while she will
carry Trail, county by 300. She
has lost some Of the strongest
league centeTs, but has piled up
such tremendous nlajorittes else
where that Macdonald cannot
oyertake her.
The outcome of the constitutional
amendment issue is in doubt Re-
turns are slow coming in because of
the complicated ballot. It probably
will be Friday or Saturday before
anything definite is known. The
amendments have not run as strong
as the Nonpartisan ticket, and If
the states vote is up to 100000, 1T is
questionable whether they will poll.
the necessary majority Of all the vote
cast.
For Justice of the supreme court,
H. "A. Bronson is running behind Mr..
FRAZIER, but there isn't enough avail
able to show the trend.
Three league congressmen-'J. M.
Baer, George Young. and j. II. SIM
clair, all running on the Republican
ticket, have been elected.
The whole Republican state ticket
has been elected, and the Nonpart1-
sans will control both branches or,
the legislature.
A study of the returns on governor
discloses that Mr.. Frazier has polled
a greater vote than he did in the
primaries, while Mr.. Doyle's vote is
holding at about the John Steen vote,
though it may show a falling off even
from that figure.
Returns are coming in slowly,
largely because of the influenza sit
uatiorl in so many counties. and be-.
cause of the fact that the task of
counting the vote. kept a great many
boards working until this morning.
RichIand County
Frazier carried the county, 1889 to
a415, while in the primaries Steen
carried it by about 300. Baer has
1772: Bartholomew, 1880, the count
being complete. Bronson, 1877. Fisk,
1869; Miss Nelson, 1898; Macdonald,
Steele County
Nineteen of 26 precincts give
Frazier $40; Doyle 251; Bronson,
$50: Fisk, S22; Macdonald, 672;
NELSON, 749.
Barnes County
In Barnes county Frazier has
b. margin OF about 400, COM
pared with 500 in the primaries.
