the police by Whiten, he was ap-
preached by the two colored men
and invited to join in game Of
dice which he consented to do.
After a brief conversation Whiten
claims that Bradford and Smith

Tho anti-farmer forces in North
Dakota arc using the apparently
reduced majorities of the farmer
labor candidates in the last primary
to bolster up their spirit after the
{ decisive defeat administered to
them by the farmers and workers
& of the state. Alleged 1. V. A. gains
are being played UP in the farmer
hating press, both in the state and
outside. In glaring headlines they
glOat over what they call severe
setback to the farmers movement
in North Dakota.
But what are the facts in the
case?
While reports are not as yet
complete from every county, it is
now certain that the farmers and
lab0rers will have control of both
houses Of the legislature. North
Dakota has also nominated. and is
\ certain to elect, the first N0nparti-
san League. United States senator,

FINAL RtSUlS ARE
STILL UNCERTAIN

While the returns from all the
precincts in the state, are not YET
available. there are enough in now
/ to show that Ladd wins for U. s..
senator over Gronna by about 4,500
votes, and Frazier wins over Lang
er for governor by over 5000 votes.
The predatory forces won over the
league candidates in the first and
second congressional districts by
! selecting their candidates for con-
eress. The farmer candidates won
in all the state Offices by good ma
jorities with the execution of sec
retary of state where Hall is lead
ing Poindexter by about 1000 votes,
Steen is leading Walker for treas
urer by about 500 votes, Christian
son is leading Richardson for Judge
of the supreme court by less than
1000 votes, and Minnie Nelson is
leading Ruth Johnson for superin-
.tendent of public instruction by
about 1000 votes. In the last
two named cases both candidates
will again make the run at the gen
eral election. Il
For district judge of this district
Lowe and Moellring, the farmer
labor candidates are leading their
opponents, Fisk and Leighton by
over 1900 votes each, and are
winning by big majorities.
The farmer-labor candidates for
the legislature won just about half
OF the places according to returns
from all parts of the state. The
final official count will not give
either the l.. v. A. or the FARMERS
a majority in the house of over two
or three members. The farmers,
however. will have a big majority
in the senate. .GE

From unofficial sources We learn
that the management Of the Slston
