this question that the fight was made
Throughout Southern Dakota the conStitu-
tional ticket was elected. There was no
opposition. Democrats voted for pl0nlol-
tion rs q means of ultimately defeating the
constitution. Two Republican commits
sioners for this county were elected. Bon
Homlne county gives a large majority of
votes for Huron for temporary capital. Inc
town of Springfield cast her vote SOLID for
Huron and prohibition out OF $50 votes
east. In Scotland 155 were for Huron.
Prohibition received little encouragement
here. More than one-half of the population
of Bon Honme county is composed of for
eigners. To this is attributed the failure
of the prohibition clause. Turner county
polled a heavy vote for the constitution.
Pierre has a majority of the votes for tenn
porary capital. The county seat contest
was won by Parker. Clay county reports
light vote, with a small majority for Huron
for temporary capital, Hutchinson county
returns are not all completed. The capital
issue is between Huron and Pierre, but 50
close is the vote that no correct estimate
can be gained tonight.
Midnight-Returns are all completed in
the city for the capital. Huron has 219,
Pierre los, Chamberlain G2. scattering II.
There were 373 votes for constitution and
81 against. The country vote was light,
but will run about the same as the city.

Huron received So votes. with few scat

are about 1.20O votes in Grant county, but

be about 100 majority for tie constitution.
Huron will receive most OF the vote for
capital. There has been no excitement and
but little interest manifested.
