With the receipt at Pierre of suf-
ficient returns to show the nomina-
ton of Hepperle for secretary of
state, the only primary contest whose
outcome remains in doubt is that
over the delegates to the democratic
national convention at Baltimore.
A dispatch from Pierre this morn
ing says that private kilograms from
counties that have not yet reported
to the secretary of state, give the
nomination for secretary of state
to Hepperle by about 700 plurality
over Glassner.
AS will be seen from the table be-
low, the contest over the democrat
Tic delegates is remarkably close. No
doubt the voters were confused by
the misleading notices. The dele
ed the Wilson-Bryan list. The Lee
Pettigrew faction, backing Clark, put
in their list under the name of Will
SON Clark Bryan. Then third tick
ct, for Clark alone, was filed. The
A first of these three, with all but five
of the counties reported, has 4,042
votes, the second, 3,947, and the
Clark list $3.50. Both the Wilson
and Clark forces are claiming the
Estate.
AS the secretary of state has the
totals, with five counties out, they
are as follows:
Byrne 36,752; Egant 27,923; Gull

Washington, ID. C.-United States
Senator Nixon, of Nevada, died at 10
o'clock last night. Senator Nixon had
been at the Episcopal, eye, ear and
throat hospital since last Thursday,
when an operation for nasal catarrh
was performed. Spinel meningitis
developed and the senator's condition
soon became critical.
The senator's wife and relatives in
Nevada had been notified of his con-
dition and they are now hurrying to
Washington.
Senator Nixon was one of the most
mining magnates in the
west and was intimately associated
with the great operations at Goldfield
in his home state. He was 50 years
old and a native of California. He ac
quired large interests at Reno Gold
field and elsewhere and began his po
litical career with service in the Ne
vada legislature. He was rated al
several times millionaire.

cheap herb called mate, of which
they make tea that they take

found in nearly all the large business
houses of the country. In English
the results of their learning is some
times amusing. Here is sample
of compositions:
Horses.
"The horses have also nose, two
eyes, two ears, mouth, a breast,
and four feet. The horses are very
diligent. Some horses have much
colors; that are black, white, coffee
and grey. We ride on horseback,
we jump, we trot, and we gallop. The
horse has four legs and long tail

horses because they are not like the
others when they throw their jock

a very sick horse in the leg. In the
winter the horses are bad because.
they are cold. My father sold my.

NONE TO SETTLE
CLOSE DEMOCRATIC
CONTEST IN STATE
Praptically Tie Vote for
Clark and Wilson
Delegates
TEN COUNTIES OUT
TEN COUNTIES OUT
Official Count Not Expected
Until Too Late for Bal
timore Convention

Who will be the delegates from
South Dakota to the democratic ma
tional convention at Baltimore?
The secretary of state cannot ans
/ wer the question, although this Off
cial is supposed under the law to re-
ceive the unofficial returns from ev-
cry county in the state. But there are
ten counties that either have sent in
no report on the vote for democratic
delegates, or else have made returns
that were wrong on their face.
The Republican today wired Dick
Lyons of Vermillion. the democratic
national committeeman for this
state, who is supposed to certify the
selection of delegates, and asked
him if he were obtaining returns
upon which to determine what del
egates will represent the state He
wired in answer that he had received
figures from only ten counties in the
state.
Final corrected figures in the Of
flee of the secretary of state at
Pierre, with the ten counties above
referred to missing, the vote on dele
gates stand as follows:
Wilson-B Bryan list, 3,848.
Wilson Clark-Bryn list, 3,844.
Champ Clrk list, 2,514.
The first named figure is the Will
son set of debates, while the sec
ond, headed by ex-Gov. Lee is in
reality for Clark.
1t will be observed that there are
only four votes between the two.
Obviously 1t will require the off.
cial count to determine which set
has been chosen. This official count
will not be made until after the re-
i publican national convention, which
opens June 18th, and the Baltimore
convention begins June 25th.
If anybody is to know what dele
gates will represent South DakO
ta at Baltimore, no one has yet sug-
gested how it will become known.
The only way it apparently can be ac-
complished is to hurry the official
count. But no one has yet discov-
cred how that is to be done.
With the official returns from all
counties but Bennett and Harding
upon the United States senatorship,
the secretary of state gives Sterling
l 25,694 votes and Gamble 24,46S.
: This is plurality for Sterling of
1925. Bennett and Harding togeth-
er will give Gamble a plurality of
between 800 and 40 votes, SO Ster-
lng's lead will be between 500 and
900, as repeatedly predicted by The
Republican.
The returns from all but Harding
and Bennett give Hepperle lead of
571 over Glassner for secretary of
state, lead which Glassner canot
overcome in the remaining counties.
