ST PAUL, Mimi, October ELECTIONS
in the four new States were held today,
and from present indications the vote has
been a full one. The capital fight in
South Dakota and Washington called out
few voters who might other
wise have been classed as stay
at-homers, while the closeness of the
State acted in similar way in Mon
tana. Sunday school children marched
in procession during the day to in
fuence the vote on the prohibition
amendment. The two Dakotas we're
conceded to the Republicans early in
the day, the point to be settled being
only as to the size of the majority.
Interest in North Dakota was conferred
on prohibition, the friends Of which were
hopeful, and the District Judgeships.
There was also much interest in the Leg
islature az regards its feelings for or
against the Senatorial candidacy of ex-
Governors Pierce and Ordway.
In the Dakotas the questions to
be decided we're In South Da-
kota, State and Legislative officers,
two Congressman and Judges; also,
voting on the constitution, on the prohi
bition clause, the clause for minority
representation in the Legislature, and
on the temporary location of the State
Capitol. North Dakota voted for the
same officers, and also on the constitu
ton and prohibition clause therein.
Late returns received by the Pioneer
Press indicate the adoption of the pro-
hibition proposition in South Dakota, and
the defeat of the clause for minority rep
resentation.
From North Dakota returns indicate
the election of fourteen Republicans and
two Democrats to the Legislature. Other
districts have not yet been heard from.
A Pioneer Press special from Tacoma
says the completion of the Legislature
must remain in doubt until
the vote is fully counted. Sepa-
rate articles to the constitution, en-
bracing prohibitory and woman suffragist
planks, are unquestionably defeated by
large majority.
A Pioneer Press special from Bismarck,
N. D., says: At II o'clock few returns
from the State at large have been re.
ceived. The Republican Legislative
ticket in this county has been elected by
majorities ranging from 100 to $50. In
Morton county the Republican Legislat-
i've ticket is elected, and in Stark
county, where there was a sharp fight,
the Republican Legislative ticket is

enough details of the vote have been re-

Dakota in actual figures, but dispatches
from the principal towns, including
those that were candidates for choice az

State. The majority, as shown by the
vote for Mellette for Governor, and
Picker and Clifford for Congress, will be
