NUMBER 16 Political Fusion Victory Tuesday Majorities for Both Legislative ard Stste Candidates Cause Of Much Rejoicing The complete unofficial returns of Tuesday's election, being available from forty-five of the forty-eight vot ing precincts of the county, indicate that Cavalier county has won for her self a forefront position among the political gods of North Dakota, by the record which is shown by the vote cast. AB democrats there is perhaps not much occasion for the cry of victory over the county ticket as both Judge Dorval and Mr. Boru sky, who entered the field for a county office have come out with a minority vote. On the other hand there ^is the legislative ticket, of which the democrats furnished the candidates, and which was assured a complete victory by the hearty co operation of the republicans.
