st. Paul-With only 1853 out of the
$40 precincts in the state missing, the
lead of ]. A. o. Preus, governor.elect,
over DR.. Henrik Shipstead, Townley
candidate, now is 132,267.
The constant increase of the Preus
lead has been one of the striking fea-
lures In the gathering of returns in
last Tuesdays election. The Shipstead
managers have ben hoping for some
real Shipstead strength to develop, but
1t did not show up, and the precincts
yet>to report are all small ones.
The vote in 3,O67 precincts is:
Freus. 3s4,390: Shipstead, 262,123;
Hodgson, 77,475.
indications are that the total vote in
Minnesota will run above 100000. Rosy
estimates had placed the possible total
at 100000, and it really was not ex-
pected that it would pass $4,000.
The Harding lead over Cox in Min
sofa is 357,523 in 3,040 out of the
,220 precincts. 1t is believed that in
r oportion to population this is the
@rgest vote given by any state to the
esident-elect
For supreme court Justice, closest of
the state races, 2,013 precincts give:
Dibell, 335,807; Siegel, 24O,8O6. This is
plurality for Dibell of 95,OO1. 1t was
increased several thousand when re-
turns came in, virtually complete, from
st. Louis county, Dibell's home.
Preus Carries 81 Counties.
Apparently Preus is certain to car
~ ffty.four counties and has ia good
chance to carry fourteen more. In the
primary election June 81 Preus carried
but thirty-two Of Minnesota's eighty
six counties while Shipstead carried
hfty.four.
