men took 'less time to vote the four

This Is compliment to the wo
men -who voted'a complicated set of
ballots for the first time In their
Hires. TJie deportment around the
polls was different from '.that of
many eleetions In past years, and
the election Itself was conducted in
every ward to an orderly and re

women voting In a dignified and bus

Fargo, Nov. 3.—Late today there
were practically no returns available
in the election in North Dakota ex
cept the results on the race for gov

fight between the Nonpartisan
League and the independent voters
have caused election judges in most
precincts to make a count of the
vote for governor before beginning
on the genera) run of votes.
Latest figures' from 521 of the
state's 2,091 precincts give J. F. T.

along In even greater proportions
today as belated elections came in

Besides electing Harding it was

Congressional returns from many

But the basis of actual returns at

returns coming seem to indicate
that Harding would not have less

350, while all that could be counted
