PROGR[SS|Y[S WIN
FROM S|ALNARTS
RETURNS PRACTICALLY ALL IN
AND GIVE CRAWFORD THE
NOMINATION.
Pennington County Lands n Kitt-
redgc Column-Race for State
Senator Close.

The insurgent forces in South Da-
kota handed the stalwart faction Of
the party good sized lemon in
Tuesdays primary election battle
according to the returns that are
slowly coming in from the various
counties of the state.
Definite information as to Craw-
ford's exact majority cannot be had,
but it is estimated at about four
thousand. Reports from progressive
headquarters indicate nomination of
lGlass and Hall over Martin and
Burke for Congressman, but this
statement is disputed by the Dead
wood Pioneer-Times this morning.
That paper claims the selection of
the two stalwart candidates by ma
jorities of abouttwo thousand. The
nomination of johnson over Cassill
for state treasurer is also claimed
by the stalwart organ but the Sioux
Falls Press thinks otherwise and
predicts the nomination of Cassill
when the final returns are received.
The balance of the insurgent state
ticket, is apparently safely in the
lead.
Locally the primary resulted in
victory for the stalwart forces who
piled up lead of about three hun
dred for Kittredge in the county,
but succeeded in putting one repre-
sentative through. j. D. Patton
running ahead of Horation Smith
quite easily. The spectacular fea-
ture of the election, so far as Pen
nington county is concerned centered
in the contest between Dr. Emrick
of this city and Representative JOS
eph Hare, of Keystone, who ran
neck and neck to the finish, when
Emrick forged ahead by the scant
margin of two votes. The Rapid
City man ran away behind the stall
wart ticket in this city but obtained
a small majority over his opponent
which, however, was materially
decreased when the returns from out
lying precincts began to pour in,
with all the boxes except those from
two precincts, Deep Creek and Hay
ward, in the auditors Office the
vote was tie which was broken
when Deep creek gave Emrick seven
majority. Hayward has not been
heard from officially up to noon to-
day, but message to the auditor
reports majority of five for Hare
at that point leaving Emrick with so
,o1J ro;,
probably be requested, especially
in view of the fact that irregularities
have been rumored in at least one
precinct, which would entitle either
of the contestants to recount, if
the statements can be proven
In the democratic primary warm
battled developed for the state SEN
atorial nomination and that of the
sheriff. Granville Jones finally win
ming from D. P. ThoNas for the first
office by 27 votes ana Lemlyj beat
McElroy for the other office by 121
votes. These figures are for thirty
seven precincts, Hayward not having
been heard from as we go to press.
The balance of the democratic nom
inees had no opposition, the vote
3 given them being merely compliment
tary
The race put up by John p. Fall,
one of the republican candidates for
the republican nomination for au-
dftor surprised many, who had not
figured him in the race to any great
extent, but he fooled them all by
winning easily from Frank Harter
his nearest opponent. The defeat
OF Haafke by Hendrickson was moi
looked for in some quarters, espe.
cially as the former ran so well in
his own district and had com.
9 Portable majority east of the river
The majority for Kittredge ii
1 Rapid City was 1911. The secont
ward cast the highest vote, Wal
coming next. Several of the pre-
cincts, which were expected to be
we'll up in this respect had compar
itively light polls.
The returns for thirty-seven pre-
cincts on the republican nominees
