Frazier is elected by Senator Warren G. Harding. The refusal of thousands of Republicaus to go over in the Democratic column undoubtedly cost O'Connor ‘enough votes to have elected him. It doubtless also beat some. other independent candidates for state offices. lt helped Steen, Hall and Stutsman. ‘This and the religious issue raised by the league were the determining factors, in the opinion oi men close in touch with the situation for O'Connor's defeat. In Minnesota Dr. Henrik Shipstead,' who cime near winning in the pri- mary, was snowed under by 125,000 votes by J.A, 0. Preus, Republitat candidate for Governor. The league “ace,” Rey. O. J.

This indication that. the deféction from the Nonpartisan league ranks in June was genéral over the state. In- deed, Preus’ Jead increased as th rural vote came in, and theNonpar tisan ogre disappeared in Minnesota for two years at least. The league had hopes that Thomas Sullivan |avould be named ailguey-general but ‘he, too, was badly beaten. Montana Situation, In Montana, the lead of Senator Joseph Dixon, Republi over B. K.

The league was really ex- jpected to win in Montana after Wheei- er captured, the Demdcratic nomina- tion in the primaries. The Montana ts said that no Nonpartisan can- es for Congress were elected, and , if any, to the legislature. The Nonpartisan league has @ dit- ficult row to hoe in Montana, though it apparently was very strong in the summer. The league was dominated by the Butte radical group, men who are ugainst the policy of Samuel Gompers and the American Federation of Laber. Their effort to ride into power with farmer support met with failure, and it is said that egular” union labor does not support them. The defeat of the league in South more severe than was expected. Norbeck was elected to the senate by 25,000 votes Just before the election the leaders of the anti-Nonpartisan league group in South Dakota-was appealing to lead- ing independents in North Dakota to come into the state, fearing defeat. The majority of the farmers in South Dakota rejeated the league. Lose Colorado In Colorado, where the league tri- umphed in the primaries on | the Democratic ticket, the flush of victory was short-lived.’ The Republicans were victorious. Meager reports from Nebraska anfl. Washington indicate that the league failed to count in the election. In Iowa the league has nev- er gained a foothold and has not had much luck in Kansas... > La Follette, Victory In Wisconsin, Blaine, the La Follette candidate for Governor, who triumph- ed in the primary, Wa elected.’ The league leaders point to this as a great victory for the Nonpartisan league. the only claim of victory made outside fe’ the state. Reports from Wisconsiu indicate, however, that Blaine, while a radical, is not a Townley radical. He is a la Follette ma and was not nonfinated by the onpartisan league. Rather, the “Nonpartisar: league endorsed him. The victory was regarded as a La Follette vic- tory, aria not a league v ny. Sena- tor Lenroot, bitter opponent of the league and La Follette, was re-elect- oe can not be doubted that the league leaders had dheir eyes to- ward, a national campaign in 1920. They have frequently talked of Gov- ernor Frazier sitting in the White House in 1924. Whether the reverses in the elections this week are merely matters of circumstances no one can say; it is certain, however, that the league has suffered a terrific blow in its national aspirations. . ‘While Governor Frazier rode inte akota on a Hardjn:s office in North Da victory and most of the leaguers vote] for Senator Harding, the league or- lection of Sena- gans condemn the él 1 na tor Harding.

In announcing the meeting W. E.

It is only a short, time before the legislature will convene | and some legislation must be tormu-! lated during the session, in order that North Dakota can take her proper place among the states who are wor ing for improved highways. It seems to us that the best way to accom-/ plish thissend is a meeting composed oft men from all sections of the state | who will give their best thought and) effort to the subject. “Will you not come to this meet-; ing, ‘bringing with you several other |men from your community that you know to be interestedj in GOOD ROADS?

The control of the North Dakota state senate may be de- hung today on the vote in the Golden Valley district, apparently.' The election of R. J. List, independent, to the senate from Golden Valley, Billings, Slope and Bowman counties was claimed, and with it the independents claimed control of the state senate by one vote on yesterday’s Wog, Nonpartisan, by a small With the report of Wog’s success came reports from Charles Cushing, editor of the Beach Advance, that gross frauds were charged in Billings county, where the Nonpartisan league vote reached an unprecedented total in the small county. In certain precincts in ‘Billings county hundreds of votes were ,re- ported to be identical, and the sub- stitution of white sample ballots and “ballot box stuffing” was suspicioned. The investigation was. begun, reports said, after the tremendously increased vote for Frazier'occasioned much sur- prise. The vote in Billings, as in many other Nonpartisan league counties, was very slow in being reported, and when {t did fully come in on the leg- istature il upset the previous predic- tion of List’s success. League Claims The league leaders also were claim- ing the success of Nonpartisan league candidates for the legislature in that district, which would give them con- trol ef the house, but a recheck made {in Beach indicated that the indepen- dents were successful, and that the house was in control of the indepen- dents by the slender margin of 59 to 54. In'the primary the vote for Langer and Frazier in Billings, totalled 49% while, it reached 802 at this election. O'Connor received but 72 votes more than Langer and Frazier received 232 more than,he did in the ‘primary. While the ‘vote might represent a league gain, or a distinct loss by O’- Connor from the Laiger vote, the in- Jonendent lenders in the western country declared the proportion was too great. ; Before the election it was reported to the Joint Campaign committee that simple white ballots identical with the official and legal ballots, had made. their appearance in various narts of the gtate. The use of these ballots was reported in a manner ‘sim- ilar to the “blanket sticker’é used in Sheridan county in the primary. May be Contested While no official report on the Bil- ‘ings county matter:has been made it was reported the Joint Campaign com- mittee was making an investigation, and independent leaders in the county were said to be up in arms. There is\a strong probability that the election of Wog will be contested. The outstanding contest in the com- nilations made today was the race be- tween Judge A. M. Christianson and Seth Richardson ; of Fargo, partner of William Lemke, for the supreme court. Judge Christianson wag lead- ‘ng with 135,000 votes in. Whether his narrow lead will hold up appears incertain. Heavy Vote Cast ‘The total vote cast in the state will se 95.000 above the figure predicted by Ray Craig, state manager of tt Nonpartisan league, and the Joint ‘ampaign committee headquarters. With a vote of about 120,000 in the primary they figured that there would » about 80.000 women’s votes cast. The vote on Governor, with several thousand votes unaccounted for, had yassed the 220,000 mark today. The vote in counties west, of the river as surprisingly heavy. S. A.
