Wesley WINS OUT
IN DAKOTA FIGHT
Has Small Lead Over Woods,
but Republican congressman
Are Big Winners Over
Opponents.

Sioux rails, >. D., o 9.-GoFerho
Wesley has been reelected governor
of South Dakota by a possible plurality
of 5000, where two years ago he re-
ceived about 10000. Burke, for con-
gress, is running about 25 per cent
higher than Martin and Martin prob
ably y per cent higher han Wesley.
Never in the history Of the state have
returns been reported as slowly as in
the present case, but few counties being
reported complete and some not report
ing up to the present time.
No word has vet been reported on the
amendments of which there are two
! and the referred laws of which there
are six. The entire state ticket is
without doubt elected by majo:ities
ranging higher than hat OF Vessey.
The vote for Burke is a surprise to
leaders who expected him to run about
even or possibly fall below that of
Martin. Minnehaha county gives YES
sey 500 plurality. He met with oppO-
sitiOn here.
VermiIion, S. D., Nov. 9.-Chairman
Lyons, Of the democratic state COM
mittee, while Conceding the election
of the republican ticket, state and con
gressional, does not Concede that
Vessey will have more than 5000
plurality over Wood. The repub-
lican congressman are expected to ex-
coed this plurality. No reports are yet
received from the north part OF the
state, and until hat time no accurate
estimate can be made. Mr.. Lyons
calls attention to the vote in Hutchin-
son, which is normally republican by
900, and which has returned Over 100
plurality for Woods, democrat. Douglas
county also comes in with a small
democratic plurality.

Pierre, S. D., Nov. Ex-Governor YES
soy claims that the returns will show
that he is elected by probably 10, 900
plurality and that the total vote of
the state will be around $4,000. Con-
gressmen Burke and Martin will have
from $4,000 to 10000 plurality.
There is no report on any OF the
amendments or referred laws and in
some places these statutes are taking
precedence over the official in the
counting, which is slow.
