HOLMAN WINS IN YANKTON
Senator CANDLES Partner Wins Out "a
Strenuous Contest With Mayor at
Yankton--No Contest in Craw-
ford's Home County:

Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept, 14.-Late re,
ports from the state as to the result OF
Tuesdays caucuses make little change
in the situation. The insurgent repub-
licans yet claim they have carried a
majority of the counties. insuring them
a safe working majority in each branch
of the state Legislature. The result OF
the caucuses, even had it been unfaVor
able to the insurgents, would not pre-
vent the reelection of United states
Senator Gamble, who was Endorsed by
the state convention. Practically the
only matter to be affected should the
stalwarts control the legislature would
be the prevention of a primary cleo
ton law being enacted without first
being submitted to the voters or the
state.
While the insurgents lost Minnehaha
they say the reports show they nave
gained at least two counties, McCooR
and Dix.

Watertown, S. d., Sept. 14.-Charies
H. Englesby for the senate, and Will
bur S. Glass and Ben e. Lee for the
house, is the result of the primary held
in this (Codington) county yesterday,
the contest, especially the fight on
Glass, being a strenuous one. All three
of the winners stand squarely on the
state platform adopted at the Sioux
Falls convention. A heavy vote was
polled throughout the county at the
primaries, owing to the wet weather
that prevented threshing.
The names of the republican oandi-
dates for county officers were also sub
mitted on separate ballots at yester-
days primaries, the result of this
STRAW" vote being intended to guard
the work of the county convention next
Tuesday. In this Codington county is
the pioneer of the state, having made
her nominations for county offices by
the pure primary for fourteen years.
This fall her example has been fol-
lowed by several other counties in the
state.
