Road Amendment Carries.

st. Paul-With only 1853 out of the
1920 precincts in the state missing, the
lead of J. A. o. Preus, governOr-elect,
over DR.. Henrik Shipstead, Townley
candidate, now is 1872, 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
it did not show up, and the precincts
yet to report are all small ones.
The vote in 3,067 precincts is:
Preus, 394,390; 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 100000.
The Harding lead over Cox in Min
nesota is 357,523 in 3,04O out of the
1920 precincts. It is believed that in
proportion to population this is the
largest vote given by any state to the
president-elect.
For supreme court justice, closest Of
the state races, 2,013 precincts give:
Dibell, 5,SO7; Siegel, 240,806. This is
a plurality for Dibell of 95,001. 1t was
increased several thousand when re-
turns came in, virtually complete, from
st. Louis county, Dibell's home.
Preus Carries Sd Counties.
Apparently Preus is certain to car
ry fifty-four counties and has a good
chance to carry fourteen more. In the
primary election June 81 Preus carried
but thirty-two of Minnesota's eighty
six counties while Sh1pstead carried
tifty-four.

Returns Come in Slow.
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
