TUESDAYS PRIMARY

The new state wide primary law had
| Its first trial in South Dakota last Tues
day. Over $4,000 republican votes
were cast, the sharp contest between
Senator Kittredge for denomination as
United States senator and Gov. Craw
ford for the same pUsision,l calling out
"a full vote. The probabsity is that
Gov. Craw ford has been endorsed for
the position by majority OF about
5000 There is at this writing uncer-
tainty as 10 the result OF some OF the
other state nominations. State Treas
urer Cassll lost his owe county and
may lose the nomination. There is
also a possibility that the official re-
turns will nominate Martln in
place of Glass for Congress. All the
nated b, small majorities.
La Union county all the insurgent
candidates pull through, but by great
ly reduced majorities. The estimate
Monday was 500 majority in Union
county for Crawford; The returns show
275--a tritie over one half. Ia Elk
Point Crawford had majority of D.
receiving 4 less votes than at the
March primary while klttredge re
ceived 4 more. A popularity Of the
result is, that in both Clay and
Union counties, where Martin
was supposed to be strong and
Glass weak. the exact opposite was
shown at the primary.
The defeat OF John Finnie for the
legislature is greatly regretted by many
1t was generally supposed that he was
sure of nomination, but he is dropped
by the wayside by narrow margin
Quite number of insurgents voted for
him and he was well qualified for the
position. No satisfactory and valid
reason can be assigned for his defeat.
