The School Election.

Under the new law passed last
winter, the city of sisseton now
elects a school beard of five,
chosen at large from the whole
city without regard to wards, in
stead of the hoard of thirteen
elected, two from each ward and
one at large.
The election IN Tuesday called
out a very small vote and well
proved that a better way to elect
school officials would be at the
regular city elections. The at
tempt to get a ''nonpartisan"
judicial election had t be aban-
doned on account Of the i1.differ-
ence of the vote rs, and no doubt
the present school election law
will have to be changed for the
same reason.
The following school board
was elected for one, two and
three years as indicated. There
was a very light vote out as
there was only one ticket i'll the
field and no enthusiasm.

Martin AND BURKE ELECTED.

Sioux Falls, S. D.. June IS
Complete returns of the pri-
marles on congressman. which
have been received from all but
three of the 53 counties in South
Dakota, show that Charles H.
Burke, former congressman from
South Dakota, has without the
slightest doubt been nominated
for cong. ess and that Eben w.
Martin, also a former congress
man, on the face of the returns
has also been nominated. Both
are stalwarts. The insurgents
several days ago practically con-
cedeo the nomination of Mr..
Burke, but hoped that Hall had
won out ond defeated Mr.. Mar
tin. With only Brule, Gregory
and Sully counties to be heard
from, Martin has a majority Of
487. While the remaining three
counties will cut his lead down
somewhat, the ins lrgents con-
cede that his margin will be at
least 300. Their only hope of
Hall pulling through is that err
rows may be found in the pre-
sent figures by the state canvas
sing board and that these hoped
for errors will result to advant-
age to their candidate.
The stalwarts are jubilant over
having nominated both their
candidates for congress, and
point out that this will mean
that federal patronage of the
state will have to be divided be-
tween two factions instead of
the insurgents getting it all.

one naturally to the singular fact that
United States pensions are paid to peo-

them go to the various states. Ohio, of
all the states, has the largest number
