Returns from Tuesdays election in
Minnesota came in much slower than
in previous years, and this was at
tributed by various county correspon-
dents to the augmented vote caused
by woman suffrage.
In many counties, the county con-
tests, such as county commissioner
races were counted first or at the same
time as the preliminary count was
made on president and governor, and
this tended to delay the count on other
state offices.
Volstead Leads kvale.
With late reports indicating the cleo
tions of Andrew j. Volstead in the
Seventh district and o. ]. Larson in
the Eighth, it is now apparent that
all 10 congressman from Minnesota
will be Republican.
1t was only in these two districts
that there was any question about the
result
In the Fifth district, located wholly
within Minneapolis, Walter H. Newton
was reelected by the largest majority
ever given congressional candidate
in this state. In so out of the 155 pre-
cincts, the vote was: Newton, 1857;
Thompson, 1890; Lundeen, 1854;
Dahl, 2,420. Newton's majority on this
basis is estimated at $4,000.
