twenty, with the twenty-third district in doubt.

The republicans will have a large hajoritv in
the Legislature, thus insuring the election of
two republican United States Senator'S The
constitution is carried almost unanimously and
minority representation is SO far in the minority
as to be almost lost sight Of There is hardly
a doubt that prohibition has carried. as the

leading tOwns and everywhere its success is
conceded. The capital question is mixed.
Watertown claims to have enough to win and
the other candidates make equally favorable
claims. But as it appears now Pierre is in the
lead with Huron a close second and Sioux Falls
third.
