Ia 1,800 of the state’ 3,520 pre eimets, Johneon had a lead of more than 27,000 over Governor J, A. O. Preus, Republican, with James A. Carte, Democrat, trailing © poor tela. Senater-ciest Johnson will sit with Hearik Shipstead, who was elected last fa over Frank B. Kellogg, Re-| publiean. Both Johnson and Shipsteaa are Farmer-Laborites and have an- noumsed their intention to affiliate, with the “followers of Robert M. La. “ in congress.
