Copright) 6ot ranTnow adis - BY SAFE LEAD Rako, Km?tidn nn_d All Four State Amend ents Establish Lead in Early Returns SKINVIK AND HARRIS RUP{NING"CLOSE RACE Latest Returns Give Harris Fair Lead in More Than Half of County Precincts Yesterday’s election demonstrated one thing "very clearly—that prac- tically every ‘one who could vote did vote: This applies most strongly in the city of Bemidji. The normal vote of something under a thousand was increased-yesterday to about 2,350. The explanation lies largely in the woman vote for not only did they go to the polls _themselves but they seemed to have been responsible for their husbands getting there as well. The results of yesterday’s vote were the reverse of that at the pri- mary in June. emidji turned a Shipstead majoritf -of six in the pri- ‘mary vote to ‘a Preus majority of 518 yesterday., They also changed the complexion of the state ticket gener- allx. The entire republican state ticket is carrying by a swo to one vote with the excepftion of the asso- ciate justice of the .state supreme court. Here Dibell, the' republican candidate, secured 1,082 votes, to Seigel, the nonpartisan choice, 817. Represeutative . Rako~ completely snowed -dnder Wis“:#pponent, Weber, by a vote of 1,440 to 600 in the <ity. Skinvik and Harris for probate judge are having a close contest, Harris leading in the city by about 300. In the county generally the same proportion is being maintained by the republican ticket. Harding got 3,312 votes against Cox 1,038 in 42 precincts of the county. . Preus for governor leads Shipstead by over one thousand in the same precincts. “Little Louis” Collins proved to be a “big” man when it came to getting votes, leading his nearest opponent by~ever 1,600 in the 42 precincts al- tready heard froit. Mike Holm has 1,500 to the good over Anderson for seccretary, and Rines climbed 1,600 ahead of Wagner for treasurer. . Hilton greatly in- creased his majority’ over his oppon- ent from the primary election. He is riding 1,300 ahead of Sullivan at present in the county. 0. P. B. Jacobson evidently has many friends among the farmers as well as among the town people. His vote of 2,976 to 1,259 for his op- porient speaks for itself. Dibell is having the hardest fight in : the county. _Siegel is following along about three hundred behind him and has maintained this difference al- most from the first returns. The man that always rides along ahead of his ticket however, and is having no exception in this election, is Congressman Knutson. His lead of 2,000 over former Congressman Lindberg gives a fair idea of what the people of the county think of his work. Ed. Rako, who expressed himself as expecting a real fight, is sailing along with an almost two to one vote ovei his opponent:, At time of receipt of last retuins R.|lm had 3,074 votes and Weber 1,653, Harris and Skinvik maintained about the same difference in the county as in the city, Harris leading by about 350 to 400. Present returns indicate the re- turn of Lennon and Ellis to the coun- ty cpmmisioners’ office and Norris is leading Imsdahl in the north. The amendments are all carrying by large majoritics.
