SHIPSTEAD BURIES
ARTHUR E. NELSON.
Was Reelected United States
Senator by Majority Over
100000, Probably
STATE OFFICERS WIN
Plurality in Excess of 100000
Indicated in Minnesota for
Hoover and Curtis .

The people of Minnesota have
faith in the ability of United
States Senator Henrik Shipstead.
Hennepin, his home county, has
given him a majority Of over Co.,
900 votes.
He carried the home precinct of
his opponent, former Mayor Arth-
ur E. Nelson, of st. Paul; he car
ried Ramsey county by an unex-
pected majority and his vote in
the state as a whole will probably
give him a majority over Mr.. Mel
SON in excess of 100000.
Mr.. Shipstead will remain the
only Farmer-Labor member of the
United States senate.
Extending his congratulations to
Senator Shipstead Wednesday, Mr..
Nelson pledged his aid to all eff
forts ''to attain those things which
will bring Minnesota equality of
opportunity for the development
of agriculture and industry"
"The people of Minnesota have
shouted, l should say"
Mr.. Nelson said. He expressed his
gratitude for the efforts of those
who worked willingly and I'M
selfishly in my behalf"
When Shipstead was elected six
years ago over Frank B. Kellogg
and Anna Dickey Olesen, he fail
ed to get plurality, but had ma
jority over Kellogg of $4,000.
Senator Shipstead carried on his
campaign this year without taking
stand in the presidential fight, in
sisting on keeping Independent of
either of the major parties.
Gov. Theodore Christianson and
his running mates will all have ma
jorities lowering close to the 200,-
600 mark, or more.
In the Presidential race in Min
nesota Ramsey county was ex-
pected to give Gov. Smith a major
ity of around $4,000. Unexpected
Hoover strength developed and
Smith carried St. Paul by a scant
5000. Hennepin rolled up ma
jority for Mr.. Hoover well over
$4,000. In this supposedly doubt
full state 2,035 out of the 1852
precincts in the state gave Hoover
343,750 and Smith 239,073, indi-
eating a majority for Hoover on
complete returns of well over 150,-
900. ..-, -.
Governor Christianson was
given a plurality over his two
opponents with one-third of
the returns in. In 1,784 pre-
cincts the vote was Christian
son 3O1, 1903; Nelson, 1903;
Lundeen, 1864.
Other republican candidates
were reelected by similar
margins, including: Lieuten-
ant Governor w. l. Nolan,
Secretary of State Mike
Holm, Treasurer Julius A.
Schmahl, Attorney General
G. A. Youngquist and Rail-
road and Warehouse Com,
missioner C. J. Laurisch.
Associate Justice Clifford
L. Hilton was elected over E.
]. Lee by a vote of more than
two to one.
The race in the eighth congress
sional district was close on first
returns, giving w. A. Pittinger, re
publican, an even chance against
his farmer-labor opponent. Partial
returns indicate the election of
Victor Christgau, first dis
trict, succeeding Congress
man Allen J. Furlow. A re-
publican succeeds a republi-
can, defeating ]. F. Lynn,
democrat.

second district, defeating J.
A. Cashel, democrat.

resen, third district, defeating
Henry Arens, farmer-labor,
and C. c.. Kolars, democrat.

Mr.. Hoover only proves that the
farmers do not want relief"
