Two hundred and thirty thousand
men and women of North Dakota will
go to the polls tomorrow. They will
nominate party candidates for United
States senator, congressman, for all
state Offices, for the legislature, SUI
preme court and superintendent OF
public instruction, and will also nom.
mate men for county Offices.
The end of the campaign finds par
ty managers, as always, confident Q,
success. They find the average polit-
ical observer more at sea than usual.
The difficulty in arousing enthusiasm
in the campaign, the absence OF
street-corner and grocery store dis
cussion has taken from them many o1
the leads on which election predic-
tions often are based. a
In spite of the apparent lethargy OH
the part Of the voters there has been
a strong finish made in the campaign
by all those participating. With the
added interest in the county fight a
full vote is expected to be cast. The
vote of 100000 in the recall election
will be exceeded, it is predicted. q
A Long Ballot.
There are 60, candidates on the
state ballot and more than score
on the county ballot. Polls will be
open from 9 a. m. to p. m. Because
of the length of the ballot the news
papers have greater task than usual
in compiling election returns. It ls
expected that in some precincts II
will require two days to count the
votes. The Tribune will cooperate
as formerly with the Fargo Forum,
Grand Forks Herald, Minot Daily
News and Mandan Pioneer in COM
piling election returns, the expense
Of which is several thousands Of dol

. Interest outside Of North Dakota
centers in the senatorial primary ant,
the fate Of Senator McCumber, one
Of the acknowledged leaders IN the
limited States senate. That Senator
McCumber has made great gains
within the last two weeks is general
~ conceded, and his managers be-
lieye he will be nominated by ma
ioritv Of 10000 to $4,000. Former
Cavorror Frazier and Ormsby Nc
Harg are in the race against nm
Il IS generally conceded that Nc
Harg will poll only the votes OF DIS
pruntled politicians whose factionai
;sm prevents them from voting tol
Senator McCumber.
Three For Governor.
For governor, R. A. Nestos, .. =.
Baker and H. L. Stegner are bidding
for votes. Governor Nestos is com
pleting his campaign in the north
ern part of the state and will spend
election night at Minot. Mr.. Baker
probably will be at his home IN
Glenburn, and Mr.. Stegner at his
home in Bismarck. Independents fee.
that Governor Nestos is an easy win
ner and generally predict he will rul.
far ahead Of his ticket. Nonpartlsans
also declare their confidence. Mr..
Stegner, returning from trip
through the Slope country, declares
that he and Mr.. Serumgard found :
warm reception for their opposition
to state socialism.
There are three candidates for sec
retary of state, three for attorney
general and three for commissioner
of agriculture and labor in the Re
nublican primary. Both Miss Mimi.

nublic instruction, and one Of them
will be elected in the fall. There are
ii candidates for justice Of the su-
preme court. Six are to be nominat,
ed in the primary and three electeo
in the fall.
Democrats Have Scrap.
The Democrats are having scraE
for the first time in the last few
wears. There are two tickets IN the
feld-the ticket named at jamestown
headed by J. F. 7. O'Connor for sena
tor. and Charles Simon for governor.
and the anti-fusion ticket headed by
r O. Hellstrom for senator and ID
Platou for governor. It is estimated
that from 10000 to $4,000 Democratic
votes will be cast, as compared TO
5000 cast for O'Connor two years
ago in the primary, when women did
mot have the ballot.
The Hellstrom-Platou ticket is out
and-out anti-fusion. The O'Connor-
Simon ticket is for fusion, and thou
sands of Democrats who believe in the
fusion plan have been persuaded to
change their registration to the Re
publican column. This, supporters OF
Hellstrom and Patou say, insures the
nomination of the anti-fusion ticket.
Eleven Candidates for Sheriff.
There is lively interest in the
legislative fight. All members Of the
lower house are to be elected this
fall and a number Of senator's. Both
Nonpartisans and independents are
