An estimate of the plurality for Johnson, based upon almost com- | plete returns from the cities and returns from about two-fifths of the precincts outside of the twin cities, gives this result. Johnson’s plurality in Minneapo- lis is 9591, and his majority in Ramsey county is around 6000. . Returns from about 1000 of the 2,500 precincts outside of twin cities give Jacobson 55,709 and Johnson 57,000. If the same proportion is carried throughout the rest of the country districts Johnson will carry counties outside of Ramsey and Hennepir by a little over 8,000. Adding this to 10,000 in Henne- pin and 6,000 in Ramsey, Gov. Johnson will have close to 20,000 plurality. Bryan Makes Gains. New York, Nov. 4.—2:30 p. m.— (Special to Pioneer.)—Latest re- turns indicates that Bryan has car- ried West Virginia, Maryland and Colorado, which were at first cred- ited to Taft, thus reduclng the lat- ter’s vote in the electoral college to 291. On the other hand Mon- tana’s vote will probably go to Taft. Democratic governors were elected in Ohio, Indiana and Montana. Cummins Elected U. S. Senator. Des Moines, Ia., Nov.4.—2:30 p. m:—(Special to Pioneer.)—Gov- ernor Cummins, republican cindidate for United States senator, won by an overwhelming vote, defeating Lacey (democratic) by at least twenty-five to one. Clearwater County Returns. Bagley, Nov. 4.—(Special to Pioneer.)—The full returns of the votes cast at the election held yes- terday in Clearwater county gives the following votes to the candidates mentioned: For President—Taft 712; Bryan 160; Debs 149. For Governor—Johnson Jacobson 582. For Congressman — Steenerson 541; Sageng 425; Braaten 120. Judge District Court—Wright 576; Stanton 418. For Representative—Opsahl 539; Forrest 417.

RAGE FOR CONGRESSMAN ASSUMED GLOSE GONTEST 403; Ole Sageng, ‘“Man Behind the Plow,” Gives Halvor Steenerson Quite a Race in Ninth. Crookston, Nov. 4.—3:30 p. m.— (Special to Pioneer.)—Hon. Halvor Steenerson of Crookston, republican candidate for re-election, has been given the political contest of his life, apparently by State Senator Ole Sageng of Ottertail county, inde- pendant candidate for congressman. Sageng’s candidacy was not taken seriously, at first, when he was in- duced to file for congressman; and when, in the last few weeks of the campaign he made a speaking tour addressing many large audiences throughout the Ninth district, the republicans of the district began to ‘sit up and take notice.” Several republicans who had im- aginary grievances against Congress-| man Steenerson took up Sageng’s candidacy and did everything in their power to elect him, with the tesult that the “Man Behind the Plow” has made an exceptionally good showing, in this end of the district.” The vote in the district so far re- | ceived is as follows: 11 precincts in Marshall County, Steenerson 630, Sageng, 286. 24 precincts in Norman County, Steenerson, 626, Sageng, 939. 26 precincts in Becker County, Steenerson, 1473, Sageng, 849. 20 precincts in Kittson County, Steenerson, 707, Sageng, 425. Beltrami County, Steenerson 619, ! Sageng 256. 40 precincts in Polk County, Steenerson 1447 Sageng 1131, the other half not heard from will give Sageng Polk County. Wilkin and Mahnomen Counties reported to be running even. It is estimated here that Steener- son will carry Clay county by - 400, Red Lake by 300, Roseau by 200 Clearwater by 200. Sageng will carry Ottertail by 1500. In the city of Crookston Steener- son received 693 and Sageng 412. Majorities for Steenerson—Bel trami county 1100; Becker 400; Clearwater 116, Roseau 200, Kittson 282, Marshall 350, Clay 400. Majorities for Sageng—Ottertail 1500, Norman 320, Red Lake 300, Polk 300. Final majority (so far heard from) for Steenerson 652. THE ELEGTION OF JUDGE STANTON IS PREDIGTED Returns So Far Received Indicate Close Race in This Strong Republican District. Inthe contest for judge of the Fifteenth Judicial district, between B. F. Wright, republican, and C. W. Stanton, non-partisan judiciary, the vote is close, and judging from re- turns that have been received so far (many of them direct from Wright headquarters) it is believed that Judge Stanton has been re-elected. Beltrami county has stood man- fully by Judge. Stanton, in the re- turns so far received. Thirty pre- cincts, out of sixty, gives Stanton 1379, Wrig ht 650; Stanton’s major- ity 729. Estimated that Stanton will carry the county by at least 1000. Itasca county (returns furnished by Mr. Wright) eight precincts, in- cluding Grand Rapids, Cohasset and Deer River, gives Wright a majority of 136. (These precinctsare in Mr. Thwing’s immediate stronghold.) In Hubbard county Mr. Wiight got a big vote. ~ Twenty-three - pre- cincts out of thirty-one gave Wright 1270, Stanton 450. Wright’s major- ity 820. Estimated that balance of precincts will give additional major- ity for Wright, possibly reaching 900. Clearwater county, official final returns, gave Wright a ma)omy of 158. In Cass county, eight precincts, including Cass Lake and Walker, gave Wright 418, Stanton 403 Estimated that final returns will not give either candidate ‘100 majority, with conditions favor- able to Stanton getting the better of it. In Crow Wing county, five precincts in the city of Brainerd and two outside that city give Stanton a majority of 261. Esti- |mated that Crow Wing county will give Stanton a majority of 500. At the time of going to press, only the village of Aitkin had “been heard from on the judgeship, and Judge Stanton received a ‘majority of 50 there. With the whole of Aitkin county yet to hear from; the majority of precincts of Crow Wing yet to come in; Koochiching county still not in, it looks like a good majority for Judge Stanton; although the iron range country may possibly go Sherift P. A. Walsh, Inmate of St. Anthony’s Hospital, Died of Heart ; Failure This Morning. Sheriff P. A. Walsh, of Koochiching County, who has beenan inmate of the St. Anthony’s hospital in this city for the . last ten days, died at 9:15 o’clock this momij:g from a sudden attack of heart . failure, being 3 sixty-two years of age. Mr. Walsh was brought from his home in'Inten.atiqnal Falls to the St. Anthony’s hospital about ten days ago and was being prepared for an operation. His physician reports that Mr. Walsh’s health had been improving steadily during the last few day‘s and that his palse was stronger this morning than it has been for some time. The funeral arrangements have not been cCompleted yet but itis understood that the body will be laid to rest in Greenwood cemetery, adjoining 'this city. Mr. Walsh was a member of the Bemidji Lodge of Elks, of the Cass Lake Eastern Star and of the Blue Lodge of Mas- ons of Cass Lake and of the Mas- onic Chapter Lodge of this city. P. A. Walsh was appointed sheriff .of Koochiching County - three years ago when the newly-orgonized county went into existance, he being a homesteader near Big-Falls at that time. He lived several years at Cass Lake and at Gtand. Rapids and is well known throughout this section of the state. Mr. Walsh is survived by a wife to whom he was married one year ago tomorrow. He has no other near relatives. A peculiar situation was brought about by the death of Mr. Walsh. Word comes from International Falls this morning to the effect that P. A. Walsh has- been re-elected sheriff in spite of his absence from the field during the last ten days. The successful candidate did not learn of this before his death although he was confident of being re-elected. The ‘local Masonic Lodge | announced this afternoon the funeral services ‘over the body of P. A. Walsh will be he‘ld in this city at 10 o’clock next Fnday morning under heavily for Mr. Wright, which might | the ‘auspice$ of the Cass Lake Lodge offset the naturally-expected major- ity yet to come to the judge. BELTRAMI CO. ELEGTION WAS SOMEWHAT HEATED Office of County Attorney Created a Lively Contest.—Democratic Can- didates for First Time. The election for county officers in Beltrami county was a spitited one, for some of the offices, and in some instances the fight waxed bitter and and exceedingly torrid. This was the fiist time in the his- tory of the county that the demo- cratic party had candidates for county offices. In fact, a republi- can nomination has always meant an election, heretofore, and a demo- crat was considered as the repre- sentative of a hopeless minority. This year there were democratic candidates for county attorney, regist’e‘r of deeds, sheriff, and super- intendent of schools. These candidates cut in quite materially in the “solid republican vote” of the county, and may possibly pave the way for a warmer contest for public office in this county than has prevailed hereto- fore. For the office of county attorney the race was a spirited one between ! P. J. Russell(democrat) and Chester McKusick (republican). At the hour of going to press, Mr. McKus- ick was in the lead by nearly 200 votes. The other contests for county office were of minor consequence and the total result in the county, so far as received, will be found in the table printed elsewhere. Attention, Degree of Honor.

Basketball The preliminary basketball game this season in Bemidji was played last evening in the Coliseum skating rink, “Big Bemidg” winning by a score of 13 to 12 from the City team. The teams showed up fine in com- parison with the same time last year and gave promise of again putting out a five which will be the envy of many of the larger cities in this state. That there is plenty of material-of the same class as the first team was shown by last evening’s game. The playing was fast and close, neither being more than three points to the good at any time, with the City boys in the lead up to the last five minutes when “Big Bemidg” passed them by one point. < The goals were distributed as fol- lows: Harry Geil, 5 baskets and 2 foul throws, for the City team, and for the “Big Bemidg,” Heffron 3 fields and 3 fouls and Gill 2 baskets. Below is the line up of the two teams: City team—H. Geil, forward; R. Lindsay, forward; Joe Markham, cen- ter; Mayne Stanton, guard; Ed Gould, guard. \ “Big Bemidg”—Warren Gill, for- ward; L. Heffron, forward; F. Brown, center; C. Gould, guard; and E. Geil, guard. Gave Farewell Party. The Y. P. S. C. E. of the Presbyterian church gave a fare- well party last evening at the Haldeman residence on Miss- issippt avenue in honor of three of their members, * The guests of honor were Miss Clara Scheer and Miss Maude, and Willie Naylor of this city, as the former expects to go to Chicago and the latter two to Wadena, in | the near future. = -7 The evening was spent in playing games and otherwise having a gen- eral good time. An Excellent lunch was served- to those present by Miss : Hnlde;n'ln,‘_ ‘to which GBUHTY MAH DIED HERE| | their best members. 0 all did full justice. v Before parting -the society pre- sented the two girls with pretty waist-pins and Willie Naylor with a pair of handsome gold cuff-buttons. The party broke up at a late hour with mutual expressions of regret at being forced to part with three of Found Speeder Which Robber Stole. The Red Lake railway officials of this city report that the railroad speeder or velocipede, which was stolen by the robber who secured about $135 from the postmaster and merchant at Puposky Monday night, was found last evening one _and one-half miles from this city, near the Blakeslee hill along the right-of- way where it had been abandoned by the “‘brigand.” A masked man entered the store and postoffice of O. J. Laqua at Puposky Monday evening and forced him, at the point of a gun, to open the safe, securing about $130. The thief made his get-away and stole a speeder, leaving in a southerly direc- tion but no trace has been found of him since, with the exception stated above. E Pleased With the Returns.

At this meeting plans for our- next outing will be arranged. We hope to have all the twenty-six editors in the territory present with us on December 4.

Poupore having se- cured the contract to log a small piece of timber west of Kelliher. The timber was scorched by a fire last spring and in order to prevent its rotting the timber must be cut this winter. Inasmuch as the Weyer- hauser company owns as much tim- ber in this locality as the other| companies combined, it will be seen that but a very small percent- ageof the timber in this country has so far been cut.

Willemstad, Curacao, Nov. 4—The recent dispositions of The Nether- i lands warships that have been making their headquarters here indicates that there will be no specific action on the | part of Holland against Venezuela for | the next week. The battleship Jakob | Van Heemskerk has left here to cruise on the west side of the island of Curacao and the Friesland to | cruise on the east side of the island. {The cruiser Gelderland, returning i from Havana, where she has been in | drydock, was in communication with i the wireless telegraph station and asked permission to remain outside i for a couple of days. There is reason to believe that the | telegram received from The Hague by the colonial governor on Oct. 31 con- | tained nothing more than instructions 'ragarding the maintenance of order should the population of Curacao make any hostile demonstration to- wards Venezuela. Rumors are afloat here that two forelgn fleets, one Ital- { lan and one British, are on their way | here for joint action with The Nether- hmds ADDRESS BIG AUDIENCES. Exchange Professors Make Inaugural Talks at Berlin, Berlin, Nov. 4.—Dr. Felix Adler, pro- fessor of political ethics at Columbia | university, and Willlam Morris Davis, professor of geology at Harvard uni- versity, who are in Berlin this winter as exchange professors, made their in- augural addresses in the grand hall of the university.

Samuel Belanka, a merchant of Alexandria, was killed. The collision is said to be due to a confusion of signals and inability, on account of the low stage of the water, of the ferryboat’s crew properly to handle her. The starboard side of the Lackawanna was torn away and the bow of the City of Washington was slightly damaged. The Lacka- wanna was beached. IOWA PASTOR A HERO.
