ONE COOLIDGE ELECTOR WINS IN MORTON CO.
Mrs. Edith Christiansen of Bismarck Alone Gets Lead There
Although Morton county gave Coolidge 1340, LaFollette 1066 and Johnson 911, a clear plurality for the president, the voters registered their choice in a strange fashion for presidential electors.
But one Coolidge elector received a majority, Mrs. Edith Christianson received 1447 votes and ranking fourth of the ten candidates.
The vote on the other electors was Larson 1494, Hall 1471, McGrath 1455, Magnuson 1388, Jenes 1379, Nicholson 1360, Birchenough 1278. Glendenning 1278, McCulloch 1272.
The 49 precincts complete gave for republican national committee-man Bowman 286, Burdick 610, Garnett 1002, Kinzer 960.
For correction of the bond issue statute the vote was 1,404 for, 1104 against; consolidating county judge and clerk of court in counties under 6,000 population 153 for, 1546 against. The Fedje labor lien act however got a terrific trimming, the vote being for 1071, against 2063.
