has been reelected the basis of practically
pete returns for these Offices
Returns have not yet been compiled for other
offices, but it is known that Congressman John M.
Baer, running as an independent, was beaten by
the Republican landslide. Baer, however, got a
tremendous vote and carried Grand Forks, the home
of his opponent, O. B. Burtness.
The victory of Governor Frazier is remarkable in
view of the fact that woman suffrage added more
votes in antLeague territory, the towns and Cities
than it did in western North Dakota, the League
stronghold, where large number of the farmers
are bachelors. Bad weather in some rural sections
also kept farm women from the polls.
I Governor Frazier carried the home precinct of
J. F. T. O'Connor, opposition candidate.
The state senate has safe League majority but
the composition of the lower house, on early re-
turns, was uncertain.
Governor Frazier's total vote is expected to ex-
ceed 115000 and his majority is estimated at OOO
John n Hagan and William Lemke, according to
early returns, will have even larger ajorites and
the League will thus control the industrial commits
sion which has charge, Of all state industries.
Congressman Sinclair's majority in the third dis
trict was so overwhelming that no attempt was
made to complete the count In the second congress

Independent, was only slightly behind Congressman

The Republican landslide buried both
League and Democratic candidates in
Idaho. In sos precincts Of 825 in the
state Fairchild, League candidate for
governor, got 1925 votes to 31,643 for
Walters, Democrat, and 61,956 for Davis,
Republican. Senator Nugent, Democrat,
indorsed by the League, got 81 SIT to g.
006 for Gooding, Republican. Whitaker,
Democrat, indorsed by the League for
congress, got. 1854 votes in 81 pre-
cincts out Of 435, to 37,2O8 for Smith, Re-
publican. Four hundred and thirty pre-
cincts give Bates, Democrat, indorsed by
the League, 28,924 votes for attorney

votes. This is by far the largest vote poed by
League candidate Two years ago at the pri-
maries Lindbergh, League candidate for governor
poled 100000 while at the general election of 1918
Evans, Lacquer, polled 100000 Shipstead's vote in
the primaries this year was 125,O00
Shipstead carried majority of the wards of both
Minneapolis and St. Paul, but the enormous vote of
the 'silk-stocking' wards in both cities gave big
lead to Preus, steel trust candidate AS at the pri
maries the steel trust vote of Duluth and the iron
ranges in northern Minnesota went heavily to Preus
This lead would have been overcome, under nor
NAL conditions, by the increased country vote. But
the country vote was abnormally small. Rain fell
steadily half of Minnesota for SO hours before
the polls opened and country roads impossible
seas of mud. In other districts snow had fallen
heavily. The result was that the anti-League vote
OF the small towns carried county after county for
Preus which had gone to Shipstead in the primary.
The seventh congressional district, in which Rev.
O. j. Kvale won over Congressman Vostead in the
primary election was directly in the path of the big
storm. The result was that Kvale lost by small
margin.
On the other hand, in the city of ST. Paul. where
voters were able to go to the polls, Congressman
Oscar p. Keller, with League and labor support,
was reelected by majority of $4,000. VI
In Duluth Congressman w. L. Carss, indorsed by
the League and organized labor on the Democratic
ticket, while hard hit by the general Republican
landslide was running neck-and-neck with
Larson, ant-League Republican, and official returns
may be required to settle this contest.
The League will have approximately the same
representation in the legislature that it had two
years ago.

Republican Landslide Defeats the
League Candidates

A Republican landslide carried League
candidates, running as Independents, to
defeat in the election. Harding's s majority
in the state will be 125,o00, but McKelvie,
Republican, though reelected as governor
will win by less than 10000, as the result
. of League opposition.
For governor 1,375 precincts out of
1877 in the state gave McKelvie, Repub-
lican, 120,156; Moorhead, Democrat, 1885,
727; Arthur G. Wray, League, 68,889.
Missing precincts, in country districts,
were expected to add largelyeto Wray's
vote.
League candidates for lieutenant gov
ernor and attorney general ran behind
Wray. Mrs. Marie Weekes, running for
congress as an independent, with League
support, got big vote but lost.
Fourteen League candidates were
elected to the lower house Of the legisla-
ture and two to the senate.

Thompson, backed by the League and La Toilette
forces, ran neck-and-neck race with Lenroot,
anti-League Republican, for United States senator.

storm that kept thousands of farmers wives away
from the polls
Anti-League interests attempted to throw Re
publican votes to Mccoy for governor At the same
time the League and La Toilette forces refused to
support Lenroot, the Republican nominee for United
States senator.
That the Wisconsin result was. due to the League
and La Toilette forces is shown by the fact that
Biane's majority will be four five times large
as Lenroots.
