Sioux Falls Press, IL: "There are
penitentiary wallis" said w. L. Dow
yesterday, (which cost four times more
Dc. foot than will the wall now 10 course
of construction ut the South Dakota
states prison in Sioux Falls. but there is
zone in the entire world that is as safe
and durable, and as convenient as the
one in this city will be when completed.
The system for operating the gates Is
perfection, and all the newest contrivan-
ces in such an improvement will be in
troduced in this wall. A prisoner who
enters there after the completion OF the
work leaves all hope Of escape behind.'
The canvassing board completed It's
work this afternoon and the tabulation
as given in The DADDY LEADER this eve
ming is corrected to correspond with the
official count. We have had time only

more important offices and find that the
majority Tor Bryan electors comparing
the Wood and Lason votes, In the
county is 135. For congress Knowles
has a majority over Gamble OF l2l, and
Kelley over Crawford Of 126. On gov
ernor Lee has a majority OF 131 over
Ringsrud. For state senator, Hart has
a majority OF 1873 over Zimmerman and
in The contest for county auditor, Keith

Aberdeen News, 10: The inference
that the temperance people would bring
suit to test the constitutionality OF re-
submission was correctly drawn, as 5.
H. Cranmer states he has been retained
by the state w. G. T. U. to begin an &C
ton just as soon rs the vote upon the
amendment is officially csnvassed and
announced. Mr.. Cranmer SAID to day
that suit ,uld be brought along the
same lines aud on the came ground as
the one urged by him before the u
prerhe court last summer 1t will be
remembered that he was emphatically
knocked out at that time, but according
to his theory, and it seems to be correct
the merits OF the contention we're no,
passed upon by the court. Mr.. Cranmel
sought to have the secretary OF state en-
joined from placing the prohibition issue
upon the official ballots on the grounc
THAT the legislature did not, in resubn,it
ting the prohibition clause, follow The
provisions Of the constitution as to tht
method in which it shall be amended
The court seemed to take the position
that it had no authority to interfere ii
the matter until the full act OF amending
or refusing to amend the constitution
had been completed at the polls, as th'
Legislature has power to submit an,
question to the people and the people
have a right to express themselves. MI
Cranmer contends hat the court can nj
longer hold it has no jurisdiction, and i
properly entered will have to pass upol
the merits Of the issue involved. He i
sanguine, as usual, that the Temperance
forces will win the day and that licens'
in this state will not be realized.
