A Light Vote.

Sioux Falls Press: More complete
returns on the vote for governor in
this state show that a remarkably
light vote was cast this year. In
forty counties reported the total for
Wesley Is 1923 and for Wood q, Ill,
a total of about $4,000, The counties
yet to hear from should swell this
vote to $1,000, Two years ago the
vote On governor was nearly los, OOO
and the increase Of population should
bring it up to about lis, 5000 as the full
vote for governor such as might be
expected in a presidential year., not
counting the socialist and prohibition
vote. A falling off of 10000 votes
shows that more than a fourth of the
voters were in the stay-at-home class
this year.
Two years ago Martin received q
larger vote than Burke for congress
but the indications are that Burke
will lead slightly this year. While
the governor Is not the high man on
the ticket this year he is running close
10 che congressman, the difference be-
Ing accounted for by the fact that his
name came third on the official ballot.
The first names on a ballot always
receive the larger vote.
The light vote coupled with q larger
republican plurality than two years
ago shows how strongly republican
South Dakota is. In q year of demo-
cratic gains all over the country and q
falling of In the total vote In this
state of more than one.fourth, South
Dakota elects her republican governor
by five Thousand larger plurality than
two years ago. It is evident that it
takes something more than an un-
usually bitter primary fight to disrupt
the republican party in this state.
