county are as yet incomplete, DuC Will
three townships yet to be heard from
the court house bond issue is carried
by 7O2 votes, there being 1903 for the
bonds and 2041 against them. The
townships from which returns have
not vet been received are South Har-
Dor, Onamia and Bradbury. Their
total vote is 222 and they will I'M
doubtedly give majority for the
bonds. Princeton village cast an al
most solid vote against the bonds, 713
against them and "a for them. The
south end of the county was almost
solid against them. In Princeton
township 354 voted no and 81 yes. In
Greenbush the bonds were beaten by
vote of 339 to rs. The bonds were
also defeated in the three villages in
the lake country. The vote in Wahkon'
was SO to "a, in Isle village 81 to AZ
and in Onamia lis to 43. 1t was the
townships in the center Of the county,,
adjacent to Milaca, that carried the
bonds.
Kellogg holds big lead ever Titus
and Lundeen. The votes, according TO
the incomplete returns, ere 2Ol2 Tor
Kellogg, 276 for Titus and 1865 for
Lundeen. Princeton village made a
splendid showing for Kellogg, the best
in the whole county, giving him 461,
Titus AZ and Lundeen II.
Preus also made good run in this
county and like Kellogg received his
best vote in Princeton village where he,
beat Ellsworth almost 5 to l. The
vote in the whole county YVES 2101 for
Preus and 1914 for Ellsworth. Bogus
Brook, Borgholm and Milaca town
ships, running true to form in every
particular, gave big majority against
both Preus and Kellogg.
The democrats polled a light vote in;
the county with Anna Olesen and In
drehus holding big lead. In Prince
ton village Mrs. Olesen received 16s
votes, Meighen 9 and Morris 70. In
drehus polled rs votes and Birming-
ham 9.
y Princeton village made a mighty
good showing in the vote for associate
justice of the supreme court. The
votes were 1913 for Quinn, Sc for Will
liam A. Anderson, 3S for William B..
Anderson and 40 for Christopherson.
All the other candidates on the re-.
publican ballot endorsed by the party
convention received big majority in
Princeton village and doubtlessly did
also in the county. The closest vote in
the village as to the remainder Of the
republican ticket was on the candi-
dates for clerk of the supreme court,
and even there the vote was more than
to 1, Grace Kaercher polling 1863
votes and Herman Mueller 172.
I All available returns on the sheriffs'
contest are shown in the table of par
tial returns on page of this issue.
With five of the smaller townships in
the northern section of the county out,
:. Luschinger has 500 votes, Shockley
1872, Stark 739, Melker AK GOA and the
: other six candidates are far in therear.
:, Undoubtedly the contest this fall Wilt
be between Shockley and Luschinger.
Shockley carried Princeton village by
a big majority as was expected.
The contest for county attorney was
y rather tame. A. D. Smith of Isle made
y a phenomenal run for a new man.
. With the returns now in he has 1854
l votes, Waller 1866 and Peterson 987.
;. Gish and Melgaard will probably be
l eliminated from the group of six legis-
y lative candidates. The townships yet
to be heard from in the lake region
{ will probably give both these candi-
{ dates a good vote but hardly enough
II to offset the difference between them
y and Brown who naturally polled a
heavy vote in his own county. The
e incomplete returns give Gish 808 votes
y and Melgaard 437 in this county. Gish
II made a good showing in his own vii
i lage, polling almost as many votes as
o all the other five candidates together
who are also we'll known in that vicini-
e ty. The four candidates to whom
IL Princeton village gave the largest
u votes are Morton, Odegard: Deans and
Gish who received respectively 1876,
3O7,161 and "a votes. The vote in the
county now available is as follows:
l. Deans, 1865; Brown, 608; Morton,
$. 1108; Odegard, 1855; Gish, s0s; Mel

| bee county gave these candidates the
j. following vote: Deans, IT'S; Brown,
