PLURALITY
ESTIMATED
AT 40,000
Farmer-Labor Nominee Makes
Unexpected Showing in For
mer Preus Strongholds—
Farmer Vote Light.
Universal Service
St. Paul, Minn., July 16.—The elec
tion of Magnus Johnson, farmer-lab
or candiadte for the United States
Senate, by approximately 40,000 was
conceded by Governor J. A. O. Preus,
his republican opponent, at midnight
Monday.
Charles R. Adams, chairman of the
I republican state central committee,
also admitted defeat.
Althoug hthe race was fairly close,
Johnson carried many early counties
upstate, and was carrying St. Paul j
and Ramsey county.
Preus Carries Minneapolis
Preys had a ead of 3,000 in Minne
apolis and Hennepin county with 94 1
out of 36 precincts reported! His lead
in Hennepin was estimated at 10,000
on complete returns.
Although the farmer vote was light
Johnson did better than he was ex
pected to do in many counties.
Preus' counties n the southern part
of the state had not reported except
for scattering precincts. The vote
was a surprise in many counties.
Some which had been conceded to
Johnson early in the campaign gave
Preus a small lead and were about
even. Other Preuh counties gave
Johnson a surprising one.
"I’m In," Says Magnus
Johnson visited newspaper offices
at 10 o’clock and was Jubilant over
his chances.
"I’m in the United States Senate,”
he said.
Despite the heavy vote, netting in |
the twin cities was nine to eight on
Johnson at 5 o’clock and was 2 to 1
on Johnson in many upstate cities. At
this hour farmer-labor managers
would not concede an advantage to
Preus.
Pitched battles occurred in Minne
apolis Monday when groups put up
signs “vote today.” The move was
originated by Preus headquarters and
Johnson men were quick to resent it.
Signs were torn down as soon as they
were up and workers came to blows
frequently. Arrests for violation of
city ordinances which prohibit signs
on streets were being sworn out.

Motorman Expected to Die of
Injuries—Six Others Hurt
—Switchman at Fault,
Claim
New York, July 16.—Seven persons
Were injured today whec a Ninth
Avenue “L" train crashed into a
stalled subway train on a trestle on
Jerome avenue.
Motorman Joseph Higgins, of thi
elevated, was hurried to a hospital
suffering from serious injuries, while
six passengers also were taken to
hospitals.
The accident occurred on the ele
vated tresle where the elevated arid
subway lines converge.
The wooden elevated train tele
scoped the rear stoel ear of the emp
ty subway train and the second wood
en car piled up in the wreckage. On
ly about 16 passengers were aboard
the elevated.
Higgins was pinned in the motor
man’s cab and it was necessary for
firemen to chop him out.
Assistant superintendent Quinn, of
the Manhattan division of the road,
said the subway train should have
pulled out of the way of the on-copi
ing elevated. He placed the blame on
a switchman who was supposed to
have placed the subway train on a
siding.
