PRIMARY ELECTION Funkley Carried City Over Opsahl and Will Probably Be Nominated. ---Indications Are that anht Wins.---Will- mann, Hazen, Harris, McKusick and French Con- sidered Safe.---Coroner Is In Doubt. Beltrami County Returns On offices where there was a contest for the Republican nomination. ination of candidates for the gen- eral election iu November is now a matter of history—and the results of this election brought out many. sur- prises for those who were not well informed as to the condition of mind of the voters of Beltrami county. The contest for the republican nomination for representative from this (the Sixty-first) legislative dis- trict brought out the fact that, al- though J. J. Opsahl was induced to purchase the controlling interest in the Bemidji Sentinel, in order he might have a newspaper of his own in which to vilify his local op- ponent by attacking the latter’s per- sonal character(a thing which no self-respecting newspaper man would do for him), he ran a poor race, con- sidering the fact that Mr. Funkley was practically unknown in the two | other counties that are parts of this district, and the known activity of all of Opsahl’s friends along the lines of personal abuse of his oppon- ent. The dirty act of “Old Allen” yes- terday in printing and circulating a card attacking Mr, Funkley (which he did not dare sign, and which evidently had the “o. k.” of Brown, Opsahl’s personal representative) was given the proper attention it deserved, which, aided by the Pioneer’s attitude of the past week, aided Mr. Funkley in carrying the city of Bemidji by the handsome majority of 158 votes. So much for Allen, Opsahl, Brown and “Informer Rood,” in their home town. These worthies lent themselves all too- willingly in circulating the | that | * force was on the street at any time. We were willing to leave these vicious character assassins to the people—and the uncertain sense the opinion of the public. ! The fight for the Judicial nomina- tion was even closer than we antici- pated. We had every reason to believe that, with J. J. Cameron’s high (?) standing in the community, aided and abetted by the Thwing barrel” (which was opened right merrily, locally) Mr. Thwing would carry the city by a comfortable margin. The city went for Mr. Wright, by two votes. Our respects to Mr. Cameron. At 4:30 this afternoon, the hour of going to press, the Pioneer has received the twenty-eight out of sixty precincts in Beltrami county on all candidates for office at the primaries. We' also have returns from Clearwater county on all local offices and incomplete returns from Red Lake county on the legislative vote in Red Lake county. In the judicial contest we have incomplete returns from Cass, Hub- bard, Itasca, Aitkin and Crow Wing counties. In the legislative contest in this county, Opsahl has 624, Funkley 809 and Ives 214, giving Funkley a majority of 167. In Clearwater 200 majorityand of the vote in Red Lake county, including Red Lake Falls, Thief River Falls and St. Hilaire and several oountry pre- while no member of the Pioneer vote told in noj HEEEE™ Bl B |&] o 3|5 HEHEE R AR SRR RE 55 LT T T2 88l g el =laf |5 | EE =l = al =@ 28 2|8 e |2le] |<ElE &5l 8l |=l> Bl B e B EEEE e e RE R E e HEIEEIEE e R R E R e B R R EIE e EE 2| 2| 2| 2|3| 8|8 2|<|»I5|2|5|8| 21=]B| 4| 5( 20| 5| €| 5 2| 8| 2|2 alalalalal i@ ilzZRlalkd 2lxkeslmizlainie Mslalo Juugemnr(:t(;nun 11 !

This gives him a lead over Funk- ley’s Beltrami county majority. In Beltrami county the Spooner and Baudette votes are yet to be heard from, together with several precincts in that end of this county, | which are said to be favorable to Funkley. From present indications the Pioneer believes that Funkley has been nominated, but if the returns should give Opsahl the election, Mr. | Funkley hasno one to blame but himself, as he did not thoroughly {canvas either Clearwater or Red Lake counties until recently, while his opponent has been laying fences ever since last winter. In the judicial contest, Mr. Wright has a majority of 44 in Beltrami county in the precincts so far heard from, and it is a difficult matter to estimate the final outcome here. According to latest accouats, Mr. Wright will carry Hubbard county, by a thousand majority, and also be considerably -ahead in Cass and Crow Wing counties. It is conceded that Thwing will carry his home county, Itasca, by at least a 300 majority, and he will be some ahead in Aitkin, as well as Koochiching counties. A careful revfew of the situation at this writing would indicate Mr. Wright’s nomination, For county offices, John Willmann county Opsahl has a clear lead of | has been nominated for county audi- tor, by a big majority. A. B. Hazen has made a great run for sheriff, and is considered safe for the republican nomimation.

In the contest for judge of pro- bate, Clark has a comfortable lead of 197 votes, although the country precincts have strengthened Dun- woody’s vote, and indicate a close The following is the total vote cast in the city of Bemidji, for those nominations for which there was a contest: Representative— Henry Funkley. . ...387 J.

These precincts include Red Lake Falls, St. Hilaire and Thief River Falls and eight rural precincts. Thwing Short on His Estimate. Grand Rapids, Sept. 16.—(Spec- ial to Pioneer.)—The heavy vote from the Iron Range towns of Itasca county are in, with the single ex- ception of one precinct,and Thwing’s majority there is but 300, where he estimated at least 500. Thwing’s vote in the county will run much short of claims made for him. LATER. Grand Rapids, Sept. 16.—2 p. m. —(Special to Pioneer.)—Of thirty- six precincts, fifteen give Thwing 1044 and Wright 732. Wright Will Carry Cass. Walker, Sept. 16.—(Special to Pioneer.)—Seven precincts out of a possible forty-three in Cass county, gave Wright a majority of 155 over Thwing. Itis estimated that Wright will carry the county by a comfortable majority. From present indications Byhre is renominated for auditor, Delury for sheriff and Funk of Cass Lake, is nominated for county attorney. The returns that are coming in on the legislative ballot indicate that P. H. McGerry will receive the republican nomination for representative as he has, so far, been in the lead by a vote of 2 to 1 over his opponents, Wright Swamps Thwing in Hubbard. Park Rapids, Sept. 16.—(Special to Pioneer.)—Eleven precincts out of thirty-one precincts of Hubbard county, gave Mr. Wright 738, Thwing 212. Wright’s majority for the whole county is estimated at over 1,000. ot Wright Carries Clearwater. Bagley, Sept, 16.—(Special to Pioneer.)—The primary election in this county was a hot one and the contest for several of the offices was very close. At this hour, 3 p. m., with five precincts to hear from, the vote for representative is as follows: Opsahl, 361; Funkley, 161 and TIves 29, and it is not believed that the five small precincts will materi- ally change these results. For nomination for judge of dis- trict court the vote for Mr. Wright is 272 and Thwing 225.
