FAILS T0 LAND (By United Press) St. Paul, June 18.—The National Nonpartisan league failed to capture the Republican party in yesterday’s primary. There is only the most re- mote chance of Lindbergh being nom- inated and he is the only league can- didate that has even the slightest chance of winning. All Republican incumbents will be renominated, but the country vote is being watched closely so far as it affects Lindbergh. Fully 100,000 votes are unreport- ed and it is admitted many of them are. from league strongholds. ' Indications are that organjzed la- bor voted for Burnquist, despite its expressed dissatisfaction with him. T Burnquist Leading. St. Paul, June 18.—The count of the ballots in the ten congressional districts up to noon today showed very favorably for Burnquist, two and three to one being reported in several of the districts on the count- ing. This is based upon scattering returns at noon. The only counties seemed to have lined up with Lind- bergh are Norman, Kandiyohi and Brown. In the Sixth congressional district, 63 precincts out of 457 gave Burn- quist 5,062 to Lindbergh’s 3,636. This is Lindbergh’s home district. i Burnauist Carries County. Beltrami county was carried by Burnquist by a splendid vote, accord- ing to all indications~and the entire Republican ticket looks to have swept the county. The returns are coming in solwly, 22 1 in fact are dragging, and it is im- possible thus early to compile an in- telligent standing of the respective candidates in Beltrami. First one candidate seems to be coming along satisfactorily in his direction, only to switch as another precinct is re- ceived. Bemidii is Loval. E. E. McDonald, candidate for congressman from the Sixth dlstricl carrled Bemidji by 396 as an en- dorsement from his fellow tnwns% men. His opponent, ongre&sman; Knutson, swept St. Cloud, his home city. It would seem that McDon ald’s lead would take him through the county a winner. Reports from various points throughout the dis- g trict received by Mr. McDonald are encouraging at this time. Burnauist Sweeps City. Burnquist carried every ward in§ Bemidji with the exception of the Fifth and the Republican candidates ran with him, There were scarcely§ any democratic votes to speak of cast in Bemidji or the county. The commissionership of the town® of Liberty indicates that Wes Wright § will be the high man. Hayes, the Socialist incumbent, seems to be badly beaten. This district furnish-3 ed an interesting situation during the campaign in that it had five starters, one an out and out Social ist, some running purely as loyal ists and others as Nonpartisans. Rako Runs Strong. Ed Rako, county ¢ ommissioner from Bemidji township, seems tc have the legislative plum in hi hand, he running strongly in all di: rections. i The results are coming in from various precincts throughout the county and will be compiled anc given to the public by the Pioneer.
