in the November election is without
question and to it can be added a
fair percentage of the stay at home
primary vote, something like 225,OOO,
which undoubtedly will be heard from
in the fall. With full allowance for
every contingency Senator Kellogg
should have and will have over $780,
600 votes in November and how
either Mrs. Olesen or DR.. Shipsted,
due as they are to divide the opposl-
ton can exceed this figure is far
beyond yours truly. At the last
general election, which was presi-
Dental year, a total of 797 ,945 votes
were cast, but it is hardly likely that
this number will exceed this, an off
year. Of the $4,000 Democratic
votes cast in the primaries, Mrs. OLE
sen, the Democratic convention nom
inee for senator only received 2S.745
votes. Tom NEIGH her chief rival
finished second with 1891 and
Homer Morris, a last minute un-
known with 1886. 1t is cinch
that Mrs. Oleson will never be the
beneficiary of the Meighen vote.

Voters who participated in the late
primaries did so without any special
urging and the results give promin-
ence to one thing and that is Min
nesota is undeniably Republican and
that it is regular, too when fit mat
erial is the offering. That followers
of A. C. Townley gave their support
to the anti-Republican convention
ticket is without question, but they
were badly distanced by those who
stand for regularity and sound COVER
ment. How the Republican ticket far
ed is best told in the following report
of the state canvassing board; United
States Senator F. B. Kellogg, 216,-
SIG; Ernest Lundeen, 1876; R. E.
Titus, 28,399; GOVERNOR. A. O..
Preus, 239,901; F. E. Ellsworth, 1885,
$50; Lieut.-Gov. L. L. Collins, 249,-
1856; l.. Ahlstrom, 100,966; Secretary
of State-M. Holm, 249,179, Margaret
Keller, ia, 300; Auditor R. P. Chase,
21O,349, G. G. Magnuson, 129,122;
Attorney General C.. L. Hilton, 228,-
1876, J. C. Larson, 122,191; Railroad
Commissioner Ivan Bowen, 224,114,
G. Bundle, 106,777; Clerk Supreme
Court-Grace Kaehcher, 1854; H.
Mueller, $4,000. There was no OPP
position to Henry Rines, state treas
urer.
Again the republican forces in Min
nesota offer j. A. Preus as candidate
for governor and his endorsement by
the voters in November is already as
sured. He will be reelected. Jake
was a 100000 winner in the primar-
les. In the memory of present day
men Jake is without peer. Less than
forty years of age, to be exact not
quite thirty-nine. Gov. Preus has
been featured by line of political
and official successes that are with
out duplication in the history of po-
litical Minnesota. Just little over
ten years ago he was clerk in the
department of which he is now the
head and will continue to be so for
the next two year to come. Later he
was insurance commissioner and
still later state auditor from which
office he resigned to accept the high
est office in the gift Of the state. In
every instance his promotion has
been rapid and has been backed by
popular and insistent call. Destiny
seems to be with Jake. Four years
ago he all but broke into congress
but changed his mind at the last mo-
ment and re-filed for state auditor to
which he was elected by a big major
ity. His foresight was almost canny
as two years later came his oppor-
tunity and he took advantage of it
with the result that the governorship
was his without effort. Today he is
before the voters with two over
endorsements, the state re-
publican convention and the last pri-
mary. What the November answer
will be is eeasy to guess. Where will
Jake land next?
Justice Quinn of the State Supreme
Court has as. his November rival w.
A. Anderson of Minneapolis. And
erson who is a member Of the Nom
Partisan League in good standing
nosed out three others by a substan-
tial margin. The League it is said
conferred on w. A. Anderson, posing
their members in the matter of the
candidacy of w. B. Anderson, rival
candidate. The vote on Justice of
the Supreme Court was: j. H. Quinn
1O4 ,OO8; w. A. Anderson, 1916; G.
H. Christopherson, 49,372; w. B.
