Except in the second and, seventh
districts all present representatives
IN congress apparently have been
nominated on the face of incomplete
and unofficial returns.
In the seventh Rev. o. j. Kvale,
Nonpartisan league, won over A. J.
Volstead author of the Vostead pro-
hibition law. The fight in this dis
trict developed into strictly wet
and dry fight.
In the second district F. r. Els
worth was not a candidate for re-
nomination, preferring to run for gov
ernOr.
The showing made by Thomas
Frankson was disappointing to his fol-
lowers and to the Nonpartisans. A
lieutenant governor and we'll known
throughout the state, he made a big
campaign and spent a lot of money
advertising. His crushing defeat was
an indication of the determination
of the Republican voters to not al
low Shipstead to slip in through the
division in the regular Republican
vote
Entire Tic ket Safe
The entire Republican ticket was
swept into office, it was apparent on
the face of the incomplete returns.
Many of the regular Republicans ran
ahead of 'Preus, because the fight in
their cases was clean-cut between Re-
publisanism and Townleyism.
Clifford l.. Hilton. Republican can
didate for attorney general, Corporal
Louis l.. Collins for lieutenant COVER
nor, Judge Mike Holm for secretary
of state and Henry Rines for state
treasurer, apparently all We're Safely
nominated over their Nonpartisan
league opponents.
A feature of the vote which was
noted by political observers was that
early returns from counties along the
Red River. across the river from
North Dakota, showed heavily against
the Nonpartisan League candidates.
