The tabulation on the vote for Of
Gcial paper was near enough COM
plete. to show victory for the Far
mer-Labor State Record by mar
row margin over the Bismarck Trib-
Gne. The Tribune received a large
lead out Of the city Of Bismarck, be-
ing greater than two years ago, and
led until the last precincts came in
from sections where the farmer ad-
herents of the league, many Of whom
are stockholders, in the winning
newspaper, supported their organ in
Bismarck solidly.
The Tribune wishes to thank all
friends of the paper for their sup
cort, and especially for the hand
come majority in the city of Bis
marck.
