The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1922-11-09

The result of Tuesdays election in
the state, nation and county was full.
of surprises and old man dope was
given severe wallop.
The vote in the city of Sank Centre
was a distinct disappointment, az
about 81 per cent Of the citizens used
their right of suffrage. Senator Kei
logg, Congressman Knutson and thu
entire state republican ticket carrie
the city by handsome pluralities.
The people of Sank Centre were
particularly interested in two loca
candidates, Ferd Bergman as COM
missioner for the Fifth, District ant
Thomas F1ahaven as Representative
from the first of the Forty-sixth Sen
atorial district. Mr.. Bergman was
reelected as commissioner by ma
iority around 200. Unofficial return:
from all of the district but Crow
Wing township give Mr.. Bergman 8
lead of 159. He carried Crow Wing
by a comfortable majority. In fact b
was the only one Of the old Commits
sioners running who was returned,
Mr.. Flahaven was reelected by
majority Of about 500.
Peter Ahles of Albany defeate
John Loonan for Senator in the
Forty-sixth district. This result i.
very gratifying to most Of the PEG
pie of Western Stearns.
There were several warm contest
for county office, the only upsehbehla
the defeat OF County Attorney Pau
Ahles by James Quigley by about
900 votes. Ben Schooner is reelected
Sheriff by over 1900 and John Lang
has been reelected Register of Deed
by nearly 1000. The race for Count:
Surveyor between ]. F. Bradley AM
Ralph Borrowman, former service
man, has placed Bradley, the present
in the discard by ma
iosity Of 800.
In the stats Henrik Shipstead
Fanner-Labor candidate has defeate
Frank Kellogg, republican by ::
majority which will be in excess n
100000. For a time Wednesday after
noon it appeared as though Mangr
Johnson Farmer-Labor candidate 70
Governor, might overcome cake
Preus' lead Of $4,000 in half the pre-
cincts of the state to report. Word this
Thursday morning to the Herald fror
the Minneapolis Journal, indicat
very clearly that Gov. Preus and tn
entire Republican state ticket, ( in,
GLIDING Justice of the Supreme Court
Quinn, had been elected by pluralit
ranging between 10000 and 10000.
Congressman Volstead has. been
defeated in the Seventh COMPRESSION
al district by Preacher Qvale by
about 1900. Halver Stevenson in
the Ninth Congressional district has
been defeated by Socialist Knut Wei.
fald by a substantial majority.
n
The result in the nation at large
has been severe blow to the Re-
publican party. The Republican ma
jority of 129 in lower house Of Con-
gress has been almost wiped out, but
We're this Thursday morn
ing that the Republicans had retainec
control of the house by six. Many
Of the so-called leaders in the Senate
both, Republican and Democrats, have
been retired, and the Republican ma
jority in the next Senate will not
be more than twelve.
In North Dakota Governor Nestos
has been reelected and while O'Con-
nor, democrat and fusion candidate
against the Non-Partisan League was
given substantial majority over
former Governor Lynn Frasier in the
eastern half of the state, it is gener-
ally expected that complete returns
will elevate Frasier to the Senate.
The following are unofficial re-
turns of the total vote received by
The various state and county officers
IN A of the 81 voting precincts of
Stearns county. 1t will be noted thai
Congressman Harold Knutson, Lieut.
Governor Collins, Secretary of State
Nike Holm, State Auditor Ray P.
