HOPE FOR The STALWARTS
Indications They Have Landed Their
Candidate for Treasurer.
CLAIM BOTH OF CONGRESSMAN
Insurgents, However, are Not willing
to COncede This, hOuEh Their
congregational Candidates RON
Behind Crawford.

SIOUX FAILS. S. D.. June i3.-Cspecial
Teieeram)-The staiwart republicans OF
South Dakota are vigorously claiming that
George q. johnson. their candidate for
state treasurer. has been nominated over
State Treasurer G. II. Cassill, his insurgent
opponent. The insurgents admit that Cassill
has fallen much behind his ticket and prob
ably is beaten In his candidacy for re-
Nomination.
Interest in the results Of Tuesdays pri-
mAries now centers in the state treasurer
ship In particular and In the fight Tor con-
gresham. Returns received from ffteen
counties show that IN four of the counties
johnson had a total majority of 22sS ana
that Cassllls total majority in the other
eleven counties was 2,296. Thu Cassill has
a majority over johnson Of only eleven In
fifteen counties, which gave a net majority
Of lisa for Governor Crawford for United
States senator.
The insurgents are quite hopeful that
both their candidates for congress, Philo
Hall and Wilbur S. Glass, have won out.
Thus far but ten counties have made COM
plete reports on congressman. In these ten
counties Hall has a majority over Burke
Cstalwart) Of 1850 and over Martin (stal-
wart) OF 2.O8s. Glass has a majority over
Burke of 1,T27 and over Martin Of 2.150. In
these ten counties Crawford secured a total
majority Of 2,415, indicating that Hall and
Glass ran from a fourth to a third behind
Crawford. The insurgents state that the
mere fact that Hall and Glass were on the
insurgent ticket and that the head of the
ticket won by nearly 5000 gives them a
better chance Of proving victors over their
stalwart opponents when all the returns
on congressman have been received.
srt- t.az.t ~zt,~,. fro,4, oil ~ the fifty-
three counties OF the state on the head Of
the ticket give Crawford a majority of 2,no
over Senator Kittredgc. Some Of the can
wasting boards now have commenced the
work Of going over the vote cast at the
primaries.
stnIwarts Claim Congressman.
PIERRE. s. D.. June 1~3-(special Tele-
gram.)-Hon. c. II. Burke this evening
claims the nomination of himself and L.
W. Martin to congress by a majority or
about 1000. He bases this estimate on
figures from fourteen counties in tile cast
ern part of the state. including the coun-
ties of Codlngton and Brookiugs, the
home counties of Glass and Hall. The
figures are those Of Beadle, SrookinEs,
Clay, Codington. Deuel.. Douglass. David
son, Faux, Grant, Hand. Hyde, Lake, Lin
coin and Minera. These counties give
Hall 9.42S. Glass S,675. Burke 1900. Mar
tin 6.96S. This gives Hall 1,S6S over
Burke and 2.455 over Martin.
All these counties except two gave pro-
s~ressive victories and only a few Of their
strong counties are yet to be heard from,
With the stalwart counties to report east
of the river and all the counties west,
In which Burke and Martin carried every
county. Mr.. Burke estimates that the
talwart candidates for congress will be
practically even with the prosressivGs
last OF the river ana have their MAORI
ties west to carry them out. The sur
prise Isl that Burke Is running l.h6ad of
Martin cast of the river. but his vote
west viii probably bring them out near
toEetser,
