VOL. XXXIV. NO. 32.
New York, Nov. 7.—Only the un
certainty of a few close states whose
electoral vote can't effect the elec
tion of Wilson and Marshall specu
lation ov.e? the. popular vote of the
three presidential candidates and the
completion of the legislatures that
will name United States senators was
the greatest interest today.
Taft Gets 12 Votes.
The total of the republican electoral
column apparently is fixed at the 12
votes of Idaho, Utah, and Vermont,
but the footing of 'Wilson and Roose
velt columns flickered alternately dur
ing the night.
Doubtful States.
Late returns' from Iowa, Kanass
Minnesota, South Dakota, Wyoming,
indicate a change from the earlier re
sults With -the votes of these are
placed in the "doubtful" column Wil
son has 387 certain votes in the elec
toral college Roosevelt 89 Taft 12-
Returns tonight from the doubtful
states except South Dakota gave in
dications of going into the Wilson list.
Suffrage Victorious.
Woman suffrage won in Kansas,
Arizona, and possibly in Michigan in
dications are it won in Oregon while
it was defeated in Wisconsin.
There were many surprises during
the day. New Hampshire first credit
ed1 for Taft went to Wilson. Idaho, it
was believed for Wilson, now appears
certain lor Taft.
Roosevelt Wins Washington.
Seattle, Wash., Nov. 7.—(Roosevelt's
^plurality over Wilson in Washington,
today is estimated at 23,000. Ernest
Lister, democrat, was elected governor
by a good plurality.

Portland, Ore., Nov. 7.—With less
than half the total count Wilson's
plurality in Oregon undoubtedly is
5,000.
McGovern is Elected.
Milwaukee, Nov. 7 —That Wilson

ed beyond doubt.

Govern will remain the chief execu
tive for another term. It is estimated

ture.

of the returns is the strength shown
by Debs, socialist candidate for pres
ident. If his present ratio is maintain
ed he will, have a total, of.
85,000 in

.branches of the legislature.

Kenyon i* ^e-eleeted.
Des Moines, Nov. 7.—United States
Senator Kenyon, republican, was re
elected according to late incomplete
returns today.
Roosevelt Carries Illinois.
Chicago, Nov. 7.—-Estimates based
on returns up to 1 o'clock this morn
ing are that Roosevelt .probably has
carried the state by 10,000 over Wil
son. Wilson gradually gained strength
in the down state section but the col
onel's lead of 38,000 in Cook county
is expected to carry him through.
Illinois remains in the progressive
column in the state for presidential
electors by barely 15,000, with/ a third
of the state yet to hear from at noon
today. Wilson gained 10,000 .on a plur
ality of 26,477. Roosevelt was given
Chicago and reports show the gov
ernor is slowly gaining.
Solid South.
Memphis, Nov. 1.—Governor Wilson
carried the "solid south" generally by
the usual majorities as indicated on
the face of early returns available at
noon today. Texas, Arkansas, Georgia,
Florida, Kentucky, Alabama, South
Carolina, North Carolina, 'Mississippi,
Louisiana and Virginia, giving him a
lead of 700,000 over his opponetns.
Missouri, the ""mysterious stranger"
in the republican ranks for the past
eight years is back in the democratic
line with a majority for Wilson of
100,000.
St. Louis for the first time in its his
tory went democratic.
In Kentucky the figures indicate that
of sixteen congressmen selected only
two are republicans according to the
early erturns-
Republicans Will Hold Senate.
St. Paul, Nov. 7.—sit was still doubt
ful at 9 o'clock today whether the
democrats had secured control in the
CKWP.

senate although a gain of two seats
in Colorado and one in Montana would
•put them within one of a majority."
With a lead of six republicans to over
come they were sure of two, one in
Delaware and one in New Jersey, be
yond these it was doubtful.
In Colorado the claims are made
that the democrats were elected with
the Wilson ticket but the opposition
refuses to allow the grants.
In Illinois the legislature is divided
between republicans and democrats
with the progressives and socialists
holding the balance of power.
Montana shows that probably Walsh
the democrat, was elected but this is
doubtful. Oregon is doubtful, Selling,
the republican and Lane the democrat
are neck and neck. The 'Massachu
setts republican legislature is to
choose successors to Crane, republi
can and Norrls republican.
In Nebraska the republicans lead by
a small margin. Wyoming reports
probably the re-election of Warren re
publican, Massey, republican is lead
ing in Nevada. The result in Iowa de
pends on the completion of the as
sembly. The same is true in South
Dakota-
The probable count of the house of
representatives 'Will be democrat", 252,
republicans 86, progressives 6. Still
unreported 89, total 435/
This table was compiled at 9 a, m.
The sixty-third congress total of 252
gives the democrats thirty-four more
than necessary for a majority and.
twenty-two more than the majority in
the last congress.
COMMUNITIES FREE TO CALL
ON NORMAL IFOR SUBSTITUTES
That there is an increasing feeling
of freedom for communities about
the state to call upon the Normal
school for substitute teachers was
seen last week when a hurry call
came from Auxbridge on Saturday
for a teacher to take a position for a
month in place of the regular teach
er who was ill. On Monday morn
ing Miss Maude Schrdeder, who had
'been called upon by the Normal
school to fill the vacancy, was on the
scene and there was no delay with
class work or other loss of time.
Miss Ella Schroeder has also taken
a~ position in the Mlnnewaukan
schools, ibeing called upon after the
opening of the term.

those in Swedish and aesthetic danc-'

of physical education, under Miss A.

The following telegram has
been received by Mr. Hanna:
^Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 7, 1912.
f*'Hon:
L. B. Hanna, Fargo, N. D.,
'I tender my congratulations
to you upon your election.
(Signed) F. O. HELLSTROM."
Barnes County.
The complete returns in Barnes
county give Taft, 560 Wilson, 945
Roosevelt, 654 Prohibition, 48 and
Socialist, 93. The state ticket went
Hanna 998, and IHellstrom 94)6.
The following is the county ticket
as elected' Tuesday. There was no
opposition, and as a result the county
election caused very little excitement:
For representatives—F. E Ployhar,
A. P. 'Hanson.
For state senator—C. F. Mudgett.
For treasurer—Thos. Collins.
For auditor—Chas. W. Nelson.
For register of deeds—Olaf M. Roe.
For sheriff—H C. Stenshoel.
For Clerk of Court—C. H. Olsby.
For superintendent of schools—
Minnie J. Nielson.
For county attorney—M. J. Englert.
For county surveyor—Thos. Smith,
County Commissioner, 3rd district—
R. B. Cox.
County Commissioner, 4th district—
Frank Heimes.
County Commissioner, 5th district—
Martin Conlon.
For county judge—O. H. deS. Irgens.
North Dakota.
Hanna has been elected governor.
His lead will be at least 6,000 and it
may reach 10,000.
Taft ran much better than many
people had anticipated- It is evident
he gained rapidly during the last three
weeks, while Roosevelt had lost.
The big run by Wilson pulled Hell
strom up to a higher point than had
been anticipated. Sweet ran weakly.
His candidacy was a disappointment
and there are evidences that he was
double crossed by the bull moosers.
Reports today are that leading bull
moosers passed the word in some

counties to vote for Hellstrom and dis
regard Sweet.
The election of the two republican
congressmen—'Helgesen and Young—
is conceded- The democrats claim a
victory for Halvorsen in the third, hut
reports indicate' Norton is slightly in
the lead.
Returns on the supreme court fight
are very meagre. Bismarck reports
'Bruce in the lead. Local advices are
too indefinite to 'base any claim
There were some exciting fights for
the district judgeship with defeat of
iCowan claimed in the Second district.
Templeton, Allen and Burr are said
to have won re-elections.
Twenty-seven counties show Wilson
between 2,000 and 3,000 in the lead,
with Taft in second place. Complete
returns will change these figures
somewhat but may not change the
relative positions unless Roosevelt
runs unexpectedly heavy -in the west
ern counties, in which case Taft will
fall back to third place.
Late advices from Minot are that
Halvorsen concedes the election of
Norton, which gives North Dakota
three republican congressmen.
The returns from some counties are
practically complete. One or two pre
cincts are missing from others. Still
others have only about half the pre
cincts.
The fight on Gilbreath was unavail
ing and the commissioner of agricul
ture and labor, as well as every other
candidate on the state republican tick
et, has been elected by a safe elad.
Some reports from the state are as
follows:
Returns slowly coming in from the
counties over North Dakota are fast
decreasing the estimated plurality
which Times-Record figures yesterday
showed Woodrow Wilson would have
in the state.
From 10,000 plurality the estimate
is now cut to 4,800 but that Wilson
will carry the state is conceded both
by republican and progressive head
quarters.
Hanna by 3,500.
