SOUTH DAKOTA FOR COLONEL
ROOSEVELT WILL HAVE THE EN-

Such Appears From Returns of Yes
terday's Primaries Received
Up to Noon Today.

Sioux Falls, S. d., June 5.-Special
With returns far from complete it APP
pears today that Roosevelt will have
the entire delegation of South Dakota
OF the national republican convention.
Only small part of the state has
been heard from at noon today, but
the reports from places available
give the Colonel comfortable major
ity. 1t is estimated that Roosevelt
will have plurality of from ten to
twelve thousand. The fight between
Clark and Wilson is still dougtful.
From present returns it appears that
Senator Gamble has been defeated
by Thomas Sterling, former regent
of the state university. Taft and La
Toilette, the returns intimate, were
neck and neck for second place.

CLARKE $4,000 PLURALITY
KENYoN'S MAJORITY MAY BE TO-
900 OVER YOUNG.
e. G. Dunn is Leading John Hamilton
in Race for the Democratic
Nomination.

Des Moines, Jun 5.-Special: The
vote on senator, with 10 returns from
fourteen counties and complete re-
ly complete returns from twenty
three counties furnished by the coun-
ty auditors shows as follows:
Kenyon 1O5,769; Young 54,S75.
Kenyon's majority, 5O,S94. This may
be Increased to 10000 when complete
returns are in. 1t is believed that
Young has carried only nine counties.
Among them are Cass, Henry, Union,
and Van Buren,, and possibly Appa-
moose, Clark, Iowa, and Jones. Re-
turns at IL o'clock, with fourteen
counties missing, gaye Clarke 77,o63;
Holden 5S,22S; Proudfoot 2O,466.
Clarke's lead over Holden in these
counties is 1875, and his estimated
plurality in the state is $4,000.
Returns from reported primary pre-
Cincts in the state give figures init
mating that Chassell has defeated
Allen and Van Duyn for secretary of
state by $500. Late returns have
boosted the claims of Hamilton, dem
Ocratic candidate for governor, and
out of S44 precincts Dunn's total is
now 1900 and Hamilton 1850.
For lieutenant governor Harding is
probably nominated by $1,000. Ketch-
UNI is nominated for railroad commits
siOncr by $1,000 or $4,000 and Bleak
" for state auditor by at least 10000.

without leaving will. Mrs. Amilda
Wilson, Mrs. Robertson's mother, and
others of this city have given deposit

is in support of Mrs. Robertson's con-
tention, Mrs. Wilson, in her testi-
mony, confesses that her daughter
was the child of Campbell. She al
leges that Campbell promised mar

but that he refused to keep the prom

GRIP BELGIUM
Gendarnes Fire on Crowd and Kill
or Wound Eighty.
TWO CHILDREN AMONG VICTIMS
Following Troubles at Liege and
Other Places the Socialists Com
mittees Declare For a Gen.
eral Strike.

Brussels, Belgium, June 5.-The
post-election riots in Belgium have
taken on a revolutionary character.
Following troubles at Liege and other
places the Socialist central committee
declare that 1t would proclaim a gen.
eral strike.
In addition to the troubles at Liege
and Verviers, where gendarmes fired
upon a crowd, killing or wounding so
persons, among whom were two chill
dren, there was less serious rioting at
Bruges, Journal, Client, Louvain, Ant
werp and in this city.
A number of Jesuit colleges and
Catholic Institutes were attacked by
mobs and the windows of the build
ings smashed. The gendarmes charged
the rioters with broadswords.
At Antwerp one battalion of scouts
and section of artillery of the Civil
guard joined the manifestants. They
rebelled against the police authority
and vented their feelings in demolish-
ing windows.
The favorite cries of the manifest
ants are those demanding the admin
istrative separation of the Flemish
and the Walloon provinces. Some Of
the newspapers report a growing SEN
timent among the working classes in
the Walloon districts of the southeast
in favor of the annexation of their
provinces to France.
The agitation is spreading through
out the country, and $4,000 additional
reservists will be called out.

DESTROYS of going into the present re-
volt in detail and get from Ambassa-
dor Wilson some information regard
ing the stability of the Madero govern
ment and the ability of the latter to
crush the present disturbances.
The truth is, the administration is
tired of trouble in Mexico, particularly
along the American border. President
Taft is anxious to have it settled at
once and is seeking means to aid Ma
dero to bring about termination of it
IL he can do so.
Reports Are Confusing.
Conflicting reports regarding the
state of conditions in the several
states of Mexico have reached the
state department here in the past
week The reports one day lead the
administration to believe that Orozco,
the leader of the revolutionists, is
about to be crushed, that he is at the
end of his rope, and but another en-
gagement with the federal troops will
settle him. The next day reports are
received stating that Orozco has ia
ken up a new position and is strength
ening his line Of defense and offense.
1t Is to get something definite as to
the true conditions through the entire
republic that Mr.. Wilson is being sum-
moned to Washington.
