MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi, Nov. 8
G.N.SO. LED by a 31!year-old
novice in big time politics, Min
nesosa Republicans today crowded
the long entrenched Farm-Labor
party from power in the State
government.
Even the strongly unionized twin
cities turned against the Farmer
Labor governor, Elmer A. Benson,
and sent his Republican op-
ponent, young Harold E. Stassen
into the friendly agricultural
areas with a humping majority.
Virtually every candidate on the
G. o. p. ticket emerged victorious
along with Stassen; only three of
the FL Congressional candidates
still appear to have a chance to
win in the delegation of nine from
the State.
The vote in 1,716 of the States
3,740 precincts gave:
Stassen, 343 3,156.
Benson, 217,532.
Thomas D. Gallagher, Demo.
crat, 1888.
1t now appeared likely that
Stassen'S margin would mount to
the 10000 mark.

In the other, in the Sixth or

nomination in the September pri-
mary, the result was still uncertain
today.
William D. Byron (D.) of Will

ahead Of A. Charles Stewart, his
Republican opponent. The vote
see-sawed back and forth on the
face Of belated returns from the
five counties comprising the dis

ARLINGTON POLL.

ARLINGTON. Va, Nov. 9.-By a
6O-vote margin, the stagger system
for election of members of the Ar
lington County Board was favored
at the polls here yesterday. The
vote was 1,540 to 1,480.
Only four Of the county's II pre-
cincts voted against the amend
ment that will result in one mem
ber of the county board being
elected each year. They were Vir-
ginia Highlands, Arlington, Clar-
endon No. l and Lyon Park.
OF the total of 5000 votes cast,
Representative Howard w. Smith,
unopposed for reelection to Con-
gress, received a complimentary
vote of 1885 ballots.
An election judge in the Ross
lyn precinct, Mrs. Beulah Shipley,
was injured when wind shattered
a large plate glass window at the
polling place while votes were be-
ing counted last night. Mrs. Ship
ley, president of the Arlington
Woman's Democratic Club, was
cut by flying glass.
The change in electing mem
bers of the county board becomes
effective in November, 1899.
To set up the new system, the
candidates will be elected for one,
two, three and four-year terms on
the size of the votes they receive.

Victory State Wide
His triumph was apparent when

AS belated returns were received
today it was clear that he mad car
ried a majority of the counties as

in Western Maryland. There was
every indication that his net plu-

With him the voters swept into
office the entire Democratic State

However, the fact remains that
Booker never has fought outside Of
Northern California, and, because
the fight game here is more or less =
in the doldrums right now. big
name opponents are hard to entice.
Booker's most notable triumphs
include the victory over Callahan,
a decision two months ago over Al
Manfredo. veteran Fresno (Calif)
boxer, who has beaten Ceferino
Garcia, Milt Aron and Henry
Schaft, and who gave Barney Ross
tough battle in Chicago last year;
a nine-round knockout of CASTOR
Lecadre, battle-scarred Frenchman
who never had heard the 10-count
before he met Booker, and a seven
round knockout of George Saliva
tore. rugged Texas welter who had
been in the ring with the Best boys
of his weight and stayed erect.
AS you may guess from his record
of 18 knockouts in 80 fights, Booker
can punch. He is not an explosive
hitter like Garcia, who can tear
his foes head off with a single
wallop, but he is sharp, damaging
puncher with either hand. He is
at his best walking into his foe,
and he punches very fast, putting
jab, hook and cross combinations
together with flowing ease. Per-
haps the best way to describe him
is to call him . boxer with q
punch.

The red-capped Negro porter
who hustles your leather grip to a

who spends his Friday nights un-
der the arc lights shoveling leather
of different pattern into the faces
OF his ring foes.
It's no gag, either, for this 21-
year-old 147-pounder, unbeaten in
80 professional fights, has so much
difficulty finding fistic opponents
that he has not been able to sur
render the red-cap's job which
brings him $40 to s25 a week. In
the morning, from am. to $50,
and in the evening. from S pm. to

ploye. Inside the ropes he's eff
cient, too. but in different
manner
There is no way the traveller can
distinguish him from any of the
dozen other red-caps who work at
the station, for he hasn't a mark
on him. This proved slightly en-
barrassing early this year for Andy
Callahan, veteran Boston welter-
weight, who was imported as an

be recorded here that all three of
these warriors were of the hit-and-

Booker started boxing as an
amateur around his home town Of
San Jose, Calf, about 1888. He
was not considered an exceptional
prospect, being overshadowed by
his older brother Earl, light

expected.
However. Earl met with indif-
