be evolved under the leadership OF
the Wisconsin solon.
According to virtually complete
returns LaFollette had greater
popular vote than Theodore Roose.
Welt in the historic three-cornered
fight of 1912. The colonel won six
states then whereas LaFollette ap.
pareptly has won but one. Never
theless. LaFollette ran second in IL
states and in three of these which
Roosevelt won California, Minne-
sofa, and South Dakota, LaFollette
polled slightly greater vote than
Roosevelt did. The relative popular
votes in these were as follows:
California, Roosevelt 283,610, La
Toilette 426,000; Minnesota, Roose.

Name Women
To Legislature

Milwaukee, Wis.,, Nov. 7.-For the
first time, a woman will sit in the
legislative halls Of Wisconsin, as q
result of the election Tuesday.
Three women were named to the
assembly by the voters of the state,
and will take their places at Madison
with the opening Of the biennial
session in January.
Helen M. Brooks of Coloma, will
represent the Green, Waush har a
counties district. Mildred Barber,
of Marathon, will be assembly wom-
an for the first Marathan county
district. Price county will be rep
resented in the assembly by Helen
A. Thompson, Park Halls.
All of the victorious women were
named on the Republican ticket.

Regardless of the outcome, how
ever, the Republican organization in
both the Senate and House seemed
assured of a working majority with
the LaFollette insurgents unable to-
get anywhere by forming a coalition
with the Democrats. Included
among the 81 Senators listed as Re-
publicans are LaFollette and four
others, Norris, Ladd, Frazier and
Brookhart, who has been reelected
on the face of unofficial returns, all
of whom have consistently support
ed the Wisconsin Senator in Con-
gress, but unless they receive aid
from other Republicans who are in
clined to vote independently they
would be unable to trim the Repub-
lican vote below bare majority of
49,.
Magnus Johnson Loses
Magnus Johnson, one of Mime
sota's two Farmer-Labor Senator's.
last night conceded his defeat by
Rep. Thomas d. Schall, a Republi-
can. who as member Of the House
has shown an inclination at times
to vote Independently. In New Mex
leo Senator Bursum, Republican,
continued to trail his Democratic
opponent, Sam, G.. Bratton, although
President Coolidge retained lead
over John w. Davis, his nearest
competitor. With a good share Of
the states precincts still out, re-
election of Rep. Morrow, Democrat,
appeared probable but not certain.
The last hope Of LaFollette adher-
ents Of carrying a state in addition
to Wisconsin went glimmering when
Campaign Manager Vogel in North
Dakota conceded that President
Coolidge had won the state.

SNOW IN NORTHWEST N. D.

Minot, N. D., Nov. 1.-THE first
general snow Of the season fell
Tuesday night over all of north
western North Dakota and the blan-
ket of white covered this section Of
the state to a depth which varied
from a half-inch near Minot to eight
inches or more near the Canadian
border. Bottineau, Stanley, Bow
bells and Mohall all reported sew
eral inches of snow in telephone
messages.
With threshing practically COM
pleted, the chief trouble resulting
from the snow is the delay to cleo
tion returns occasioned in such
counties as Burke. where County
Auditor C. ]. Kopriva stated recent
ly there was good sleighing. The
handicap of the snowed-in roads is
expected to make it difficult for
outlying precincts to report results.
Reports from Kenmare tell of
eight inches of snow in the Goose
neck country.

With President Coolidge's victory
in North Dakota went the Wisconsin
Senator's last hope of gaining any
state electoral vote than Wisconsin.
Senator LaFollette started what ap-
peared to be winning assault on
the Presidents majority early Thurs
day afternoon but even to the sur
prise of the Coolidge leaders who
expected Coolidge's lead to be cut
with incoming returns from the west,
the President rallied, and, in the
last 26 precincts to report last night,
was gaining about two votes per pre-.
cinct on his opponent.
LaFollette, to overtake Coolidge,
however, would have to average AZ
vote gain per precinct. The out
standing precincts are in rural west
ern territory, where LaFollette is ex-
pected to gain but county auditors i'll
those districts say they doubt II
there is an average of AZ precincts
there.
League Victorious
In the state race, however, the
Nonpartisan League, which has been
the chief supporter of LaFollette,
emerged generally victorious. 1t

railroad commissioners. The anti
league faction, the Independents,
elected an auditor, Attorney-Gener-
al and Commissioner of Agriculture
