RINES PROBABLY WINS
With 125 Precincts to Report
He Has Lead of 125 Over
King for State Auditor

Minneapolis, Jun 19-The fight
for the Republican nomination for
the state authorship was still 60
ing on Wednesday night, two days
after the polls closed, and the re-
suit was nowhere in evidence. 1t
was almost certain that the official
count of the state canvassing board
would be necessary to settle the
matter.
The last tabulation from 1878 of
the states 3,69S precincts, gave
Rines 1858, and King, 131, 279. 1t
was a lead of 294 for Rines.
When 3,4622 precincts had been
counted Wednesday afternoon,
King held a lead of LAB. The III
precincts counted later gave Rines
1887 more votes than his opponent.
Whether Rines would continue to
hold his lead or increase it was a
matter of conjecture. Most of the
precincts yet to report were from
the far north of the state where
Rines showed greater strength than
King.
King has been leading figure in
American Legion activities in the
state, while Rines is a veteran in
politics and was former state treas
urer, post he left to become chair
man of the big Three"
twas practically certain We'd
nesday night that State Senator
John H. Hougen had won the NOM
ination for lieutenant governor on
the Republican ticket. His lead
over his nearest opponent, Charles
A. Lund, was being increased slight
ly. Reuben G. Thoreen was still
i running third.

precincts, gave Hougen 74,072; Lund
69,161; Thoreen, 67,730; Sam A.
Rask, 1884; E. w. Hawley, 1,47O;
Henry B. Rutledge, 32,421, and j.
K. Grondahl, 24,346.
United States Senator Thomas D.
Schalps big margin for the Repub-
lican nomination for the post he
holds continued to grow larger with
the late returns Wednesday night.
He was nearly $1,000 votes ahead
of his badly beaten opponent, Gov
ernor Christensen. A total of g.
PA precincts gave Schall 241, 146;
Christensen, 160,67o, and John
Selb, 23,544. ..I:,
The lead of State Auditor Ray
P. Chase over ]. A. A. Burnquist
for the Republican nomination for
governor was almost as large as
that held by Schall over the gov
ernor.

was: Chase, 1858; Burnquist, 1885,
sos; N. J. Holmberg, 74,345; Albert

12,648, and Eivind Klaveness, TO-
BOT.

gave Lundeen, 31,775 and Wefald,
%, 43O.
