Fargo, N. d., June 28.-The Inde-
pendents who suffered the loss of
the Republican gubernatorial NOM
nation and other reverses along the
line so far as the Republican state
ticket is concerned found themselves s
confronted with new problem todav
"hen further reverses in primary
candidates for nominations for mem
oers of the House of Representatives
were developed on returns received.
New shifts revealed on the face of
new returns infict new loss of
two house members on the Inde-
pendents and leave them in a posi-
tion where they must 90 into sew
eral districts next fall and make in
, tenslve campaigns for individually
nominated candidates or independ
ents who may have been nominated
on Democratic candidates, if they
expect to retain control of the lower
branch of the assembly.
AS for the Senate, the single out
standing contest remaining undeter-
mined is the 49th where the returns
from all except six precincts give
the Independent candidate, Seamens,
a lead of % over Bratsburg, the
Lacquer, for the Senatorial nomina-
tion.
Wo: Wins
Defeat of the Independents in the
39th district comprising Golden Val
ley, Slope, Bowman and Billings
where Gus Wog, Lacquer, won from
R. ]. List, Independent were defin-
itely established late yesterday.
The vote from the missing pre-
cincts in Sioux county will not be re-
ceived at Fort Yates until late to-
day. The missing precincts are in
the western part of the county,
which cannot be reached by. tele-
phone, and returns were mailed and
go in circuitious route to reach
Ft. Yates. At Fl: Yates it was said
they break about even, so the result
cannot be determined until those
returns are available.
As matter of fact, the lndepend-
ents are today in about the same
situation, so far as prospective con-
troll of the assembly is concerned, as
they were two years ago Immediately
after the primaries when it became
necessary to lay plans for special
campaigns in some districts that are
ordinarily favorable to lndepend-
ents, but which, from one cause or
another, swung into the League col
umn SO far as Republican nomina-
tions are concerned.
The reverses sustained by the In
dependents on the basis of new
House of Representatives returns
include one in Logan and Mcintosh
county, where at least one lndepend-
ent, Kelly, has lost. The district
had three Independents in the last
session.
Another nomination had been lost
in Pierce county where Larson, In
dependent, is defeated by margin
of about 20 votes, while Peters, In
dependent, and Lares, Lacquer, have
been nominated. Pierce has long
been in the Independent column with
a full representation.
Two shifts that offset each other
occurred in the central section OF
the state.
Griggs and Steele counties have
nominated two Leaguers and an In
dependent, where the district here
tofore has been represented by three
Leaguers. In Foster and Eddy coun-
ties J. L. Burk, Independent, has
been defeated.
A League split in Griggs county
was responsible for the fact that /
w. Stanley, Independent. has been
nominated along with Andrew Erlck-
son and E. G. Iverson, Leaguers

polled 224 votes.
The Logan and Mcintosh situation
developed as result Of inability tt
effect agreement prior to the election
for the placing of straight lnde
pendent ticket in the field. AS th'
county stands, Miller, Fatere ant
Herr have been nominated. Feter'
is a Lacquer, Herry and Miller Inde
! pendents. Kelly has long been a fac
tor in legislative affairs in the dis
trict and his defeat was wholly un-
expected.

tion: Independents gained noniin-
