ABERDEEN, 8. D., June S.-Pri-
mary election returns from the state
are very incomplete but all reports
received here point to the nomina-
ton Of Egan for governor.
At the stalwart headquarters 1t is
claimed Burke and Martin are re-
nominated for congress by big plur-
alities, and that the state ticket, ex-
Icept governor has won.
/ In Brown county the stalwarts ell
ected the entire county and legis-
lative tickets with the possible excep
ton of sheriff, and Cochrane, pro-
gressive claims the nomination for
representative over Swanson. stall
wart by a close margin.
Returns Received at Pierre.
PIERRE, 8. D., June 8.-Returns
received here show that Egan is in
the lead, but many believe 1t will re-
quire an official count to show wheth-
er Vessey or Egan is nominated for
Governor. The returns from the
towns give Egan q lead. Burke and
Martin undoubtedly are in the lead
for congress. with Burke securing
the heaviest vote. No figures can be
secured on the rest of the state
ticket and 1t will probably take the
official count to decide who are the
winners.
In this circuit, Hughes, progress
lsive. is the winner for Judge and the
stalwarts have carried the senatorial
district, and the legislative district is
SO close as to require a count.
So far as known Stanley county
Ihas changed from stalwart to prog
ressive, but many precincts have not
been heard from.
Thinks Vessey Will Win.
