BURKE. IND BIRNE
IRE W/IN1NERS IN
STATES PRLlNAR !

All the balance of the majority
ticket has been nominated. 1t is
the nearest to complete vict-
DRY the Progressive Republicans
in this state have ever had. In
other campaigns the opposition
has usually obtained five or six
places. In this campaign we have
lost but the one office.
Lockhart's Statement.
At an early hour this morning, j.
L. Lockhart, manager of the min
ority Republican campaign head
quarters at Pierre gave out the fol-
lowing statements:
1.-The latest reports from Law
renee county show that, with 20
precincts to hear from Burke
has 1873 and Crawford 106. y
claim is made of 1000 majority
for Burke in Lawrence Byrne is
running strong in Lawrence, but
figures are not given. Burke
claims the certainty of a large
majority and the Crawford head
quarters say there are not
enough figures in to give an es-
innate The Rosebud precincts
so far as reported are all Tor
Burke and the country precincts
so far secured are not changing
the outlook"
BurAc's Early Lead.
Congressman Burke lead in the re-
turns almost from the start The first
to be heard from were the largest
cities of the state, where it was eX-
pected that Burke would have good
majorities. Such leads as 100 in
Lawrence and 400 in Brown and over
100 in Codington were expected.
However. it was hardly expected that
he would carry Minnehaha county by
over 1000. Perhaps the most sur
prising returns were from Lincoln
county, which has been overwhelm-
ingly progressive" for years, but
which went for Burke this time.
Congressman Burke stated over the
telephone after midnight last night
that Senator Crawford had called
him up and conceded Burke's nomin-
alton.
Burke's strength was not confined
OF any one section of the state, al
though in spots Crawford showed
flashes of strength. His majority in
Dawson county was entirely uneX-
ByIne Not to Have Majority
While it was indicated almost from
the start that Byrne probably was re-
nominated for governor. Henry And
crson, the minority candidate, made q
formidable record. II. o. Richards,
the independent candidate, is running
behind Anderson The returns up to
noon today gave him but two coun-
ties. Sanborn and Beadle. The strong
Byrne vote in the Black Hills, partic-
ularly in Lawrence county, where a
combination OF Burke and Byrne was
made early in the campaign, was
given this afternoon by Mr. Anderson
who was in Mitchell, as the cause of
his defeat. If it had not been for his
poor showing in the Black Hills, An
derson believed from the returns UP
to noon that he would hove been
nominated.
For Congressman.
In the First district, Congressman
Dillon ran away from II. j. Woods
The latter apparently carried only
one county, his own, Minnehaha, but
he leads there by probably 500 votes.
In the Second district Royal c.
johnson seems to have won over Nc
Nulty by at least 1000 majority
McNuity carried Brown county by
400 and held johnson down TO about
an even break in Sphinx county. John
son ran particularly we'll in the east
ern part of the district.
In the Third district returns are
very slow in coming in on congress
man. Judge Rice received lead OF
probably 1900 votes in his own coun-
ty and ran we'll ali through the Hills
1t is believed impossible for j. G
Bartine, his opponent, to overcome
this, although he has received nearly
solid vote in Lyman, his home
county, and is leading Rice in Stan
; ley by over two to one, according te
scattered returns.
