-VOLUME X CHOTEAU, TETON COÜIfïY, MONTANA, NOVEMBER 10, 1922. NUMBER 18- B. K. Wheeler increases his lead • over Carl Riddick, republican, candi- -date for the United States senate, to approximately 16,000 as the returns •trickled in Thursday. The big country vote tha.t^5vaS claimed for Riddick ■was split more evenly than had been •anticipated and the cities gave .Wheeler, tbe democratic candidate, heavier support than had been count* •ed in his favor. With more than half of the vote ♦cast in Tuesday’s election, tabulated •a clase race has developed between •J. T. Carroll and Dana Easton for •clerk of the supreme qourt. Easton, the republican candidate, was slight ly ahead in the tabulation late Wed nesday afternoon, the vote being .Easton 37,625 and Carroll 37,568. Carroll took an early lead, but later returns gradually cut this down as -the vote came in from the eastern part of the state and from outlying precincts. On the face of available returns Judge John A. Matthews is leading Judge A. P. Stark for associate jus tice of the supreme court, though the latter has increased his vote as re turns came in from the outlying dis tricts. For chief justice Judge Lew L. Callaway, republican, is elected over -Josph R. Jackson, by a splendid ma jority. John M. Evans, democrat, appears to have defeated Congressman Wash ington Jay McCormick who sought reelection on the republican ticket. It is 'not likely that precincts to be heard from in the first congressional •district can change the result in the race there. In the second congressional district \Scott Leavit, republican, holds a •commanding lead over P. B. Moss, the democratic candidate. Daniel Boyle has been kept on- the job as railroad commissioner by a rsafe margin. The political forces of Governor Joseph M. Dixon have won complete control of the senate and house for the next legislative assembly on the face of the latest election returns as Reported late Thursday afternoon. Sixteen of the holdover senators are known to be aligned with the Dixon forces, and the returns s that 16 state senators have t elected who will be favorable to Dixon program, making a total of 32 senators out of 54 that are posi Dixon senators. The anti-Dixon forces have elei nine state senators, and three grams. The returns show that least 70 per cent of the house mem bers can be counted upon as being with the Dixon forces. The following is the result of - the. election of last Tuesday in Teton county, with the exception of the votes cast at Dry Forks, which we. were unable to get. As will be seen, by the accompanying table, the en- rephblican ticket was elected in this county, making it the banner repub lican county in the state.
