The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1898-11-17

Both Branches.
Sioux Falls, s. D.. Nov. IL. - 1t be-
gins to look as if South Dakota would
+. have to pass through another siege of
suspense like 1896, when it took the
official count to determine which party
dad carried the state. The Republic
ans are claiming the election of Phil
lips, for governor, by 500, while the
fusionists claim Lees election by from
700 to 800. The Republicans have
elected the remainder of the state tick
ct and both congressman. The latter
will have majorities ranging from
5000 to 1000. The legislature is sure
ly Republican in both branches. No re-
turns of any nature have been re-
iceived from the range counties, while
complete returns from Minnehaha,
Buffalo. Sully and Roberts are lacking.
The fusionists elect five Of tie seven
members of the legislature in this
county. 1t is thought all three amend
ments-woman suffrage, referendum
and state dispensary-have carried.
Sioux Falls, s. D.-Nov. 10. - Com
plete figures are now in from nearly
all the precincts in the state and they
show the election of two Republican
= congressman by $500 to 1000 major
ity, the governor by 1000, every state
candidate and both branches of the
Legislature. The Black Hills, which
went for Bryan by 1900, gives ma
0ority of 400 for the Republican ticket,
which fact is admitted by the Populist
committee. A very light vote was cast
on the woman suffrage amendment,
and it is believed that it is beaten.
There is no question at all that
Messrs. Gamble and Burke are elected
by safe majorities. The remainder Of
the Republican ticket is elected. Gains
have been made in the legislature, but
that body. The returns have been
based on governor. According to the
dispatches the following counties show
Republican gains: Minnehaha, 81;
Dawson, 81; Gregory, 81; Brule, $50;
Moody, 81; Lake, Sc; Kingsbury, "a;
Hand, GO; Grant, LOG; Brown, $50; Nc.
Pherson, $50; Campbell, 1871; Roberts,
80; NIcCook, 272; Hanson. Sc. These
are accurate. The following are esti-
mated: Jerauld, %; Marshall, so;
Black Hills, 1000. The following
= counties show a loss: Union, 256;
Clay, 100; Yankton, 20; Bon Homme,
40; Lincoln, 1873; Turner, GO; Hutch
inscn. 233; Aurora, %; Lyman, 13;
Miner, ia; Sanborn, 1O1; Brookings,
2S4; Deuel., $40; Sphinx. 46: Faulk, IS;
Day, 225. 1t is estimated that the Re.
publicans will lose in the following
counties: Charles Mix. SO; Hyde, SO;
Stanley, 100; Hamlin, 100; Codington,
so: Clark, 40; Potter so. There have
not been returns enough received OH
the amendments to give any idea how
any of them will run. The chances
are that it will take the official count
to decide the governorship. Senator
Pettigrew claims Lees election by
5000. Chairman Herried, of the Re-
publican state committee. still claims
that Philips is elected, but will not
name any figures.
Deadwood = Returns from the six
Hills counties, nearly all in Lawrence,
give Philips AS majority. Butte 40,
Pennington Is, Fall River. 100, Custer
80, and fifteen precincts out of twenty
six in Meade give Lee 40 majority.
The legislative and congressional tick
cts follow close. The county ticket III

with the exception Of sheriff.

precincts in Hughes county give Phil
fps 1926. Lee 295, Gamble 425, Burke
