Final Tabulation
Gives Olsen
$500 Vote Lead

HELENA-Atty. Gen. Arnold H.
Olsen won the Democratic nomi-
nation for governor by about $500
votes, The Associated Press final
tabulation showed Monday.
The AP figures showed Olsen
had 54,696, ex-Gov. John w. Bon
ner 0,908, Danny O'Neill, Havre,
1899, and John nj. Mickey, Boze-
man, 1894.
Gov. Hugo j. Aronson, although
not opposed, received 49,053 votes.
Thirty-one counties have not for
warded their returns to the secre-
tary of state. They have until
June rs to do so. After that, the
secretary of state may send a
deputy to the county seat and get
the returns at the county's ex-
pense.
Slightly more than 1900 Mon
tanans turned out for Tuesdays
primary but not especially to
choose a presidential candidate.
Nearly $1,000 more votes were
cast in the No. / race for the Dem
ocratic governor nomination, won
by Atty. Gen. Arnold H. Olsen,
than for all the candidates for
president.
The turnout, probably one of
the largest in the history of Mon
tana primaries, was 6213 per cent
of the registration total of 273,236.
General election turnouts, how
ever, have been considerably larg-
er both percentagewise and in
voter numbers.
In the fall of 1854, for example,
1855 per cent of the eligible voters
participated and cast 227, asa bal
lots. And in the previous presi-
dental general election year of
1852 there was a turnout of 87.16
per cent, or 265 ,037 voters.
In the Democratic governor pri-
mary this week, a total of 121, 1856
ballots were counted in 1,061 of
1881 precincts. Republicans mark
ed 48,970 ballots in the COVER
nor primary in 1887 precincts.
Thus, nearly complete returns
showed a total governor vote Of
170,936.
On the other hand, the total
presidential preference vote was
1922 - 74,743 for Democrats
and 38,379 for Republicans.

dius of more than 200 miles and
variously estimated at from 5000
to 10000 people attended the
dedication Of the Hjalmer Nelson

come one of the finest recreation
al sites of the kind in this area.

was happy to dedicate this bridge
for the use of North Dakota peo-
pie on both sides of the river"

gether in such a manner that the
benefits of irrigation might more
speedily spread to other sections
of North Dakota"

alization of a goal he and others
in the legislature looked forward
to when they voted 100000 to-
ward its construction.
Cutting the ribbon which
formally opened the bridge for
traffic, was Sharon X. Rud.
teenage daughter OF former
Senator I'D Mrs. Nelson, and
