The Elections in North and South Dakota
Washington and Montana.
ST. PAUL, October. .1st-The elections ir
the four new States were held to-day, anG
from present indications the vote has beer
full one.
The capital fight in South Dakota anG
Washington called out q few voters who
might otherwise have been classed as stay
at-homes, while the closeness in the State
acted in similar way in Montana
The Sunday-school children in Aber
deen, s. D., marched in procession during
the day to influence the vote on the prohi
bition amendment.
The two Dakotas were conceded to ths
Republicans early in the day, the poin
to be settled being only as to the size of thu
majority.
Interest in North Dakota was centered
on the Prohibition ticket, the friends o.
which were hopeful, and the District Judge
ships. Also, there was much interest in
the Legislature as regards its feelings fol
or against the Senatorial candidacy of ex
Governors Pierce and 0rdway. In the
Dakotas the questions to be decided were
IN South Dakota the State and legislative
officers, two Congressmen and Judges, also
voting on Constitution and on the Prohibi
ton clause, the clause for the minority
representation in the Legislature and OF
the temporary location of the State capital
North Dakota voted for the same officer,
and also on the Constitution and Prohibi
ton clause.
