SheriH-Results in the County,
State and Nation Tuesday

Tuesdays election resulted in the
usual majorities for the greater part of
the republican ticket in both county
and state.
County
The entire republican ticket was
elected in Brookings county with the
exception of liver Dybdahl, candidate
for sheriff. Fred MINER of White.
sprung the biggest surprise of the
county campaign by defeating Mr..
Dybdahl by a good-sized majority. 1t
was known that Mr.. MINER would put
up a good fight, as the democrats had
concentrated all their strength toward
landing this one office, but Mr.. Dyb-
dahl and his friends did not anticipate
that the usual large republican ma
jority would be overcome. The vote
on this Office was, MINER, 1862; Dyb-
dahl, 819, Miners majority, 243. Mr..
MINER carried all the four wards in
Bookings, the vote standing as fol-
lows: First Ward, MINER, 101; Dyb-
dahl, rs. Second ward, MINER, SO;
Dybdahl, SO. Third ward, MINER, 48;
Dybdahl, 80. Fourth ward, MINER,
81; Dybdahl, 81. Mr.. MINER has the
distinction of being the first democrat
elected to county office in sixteen
years.
The only other fight on in the coun-
ty was for states attorney and Wallace
E. Purdy, the republican candidate,
won out over Verne G. Wohlheter by
3S5 majority. The vote was, Purdy,
1888; Wohlheter, 69S. The other re-
publican candidates received a vote of
about 1900 each, a majority of from
six to seven hundred over their demo-
cratic opponents.
On the state ticket Johnson, demo-
cratic candidate for United States SEN
ator, carried the county by 135 ma
jority, the vote standing as follows:
Johnson, GIG; Burke, 781. Governor
Byrne on the other hand, nearly doubl-
ed McCarter's vote, the results being,
Byrne, 995; McCarter, 535. The rest
of the republican state ticket carried
the county by about 900 majority. The
prohibition ticket received about ITO
votes, the socialist about 40 votes and
the independent candidates received
all the way from IL votes to ITO. The
latter figures were those of Dick Rich
ards, the independent candidate for
governor. For congress Royal Johnson,
the republican candidate, more than
doubled the vote of his opponent, John
M. King, the standings being: John
son, 1888; King, 529.
Woman's suffrage lost out in the
county by a small majority, the vote
being: No, 907; Yes, S89. Suffrage
carried in Brookings city by about $50
majority, the First with 80 majority
being the banner ward.
Referred Law No. 8, the Aberdeen
normal bill, lost out heavily in this
county, as was expected, but yet there
were 200 votes for it. The vote against
it was 1,450.
The republican state ticket with the
exception of Burke, had an easy vic
tory. Governor Byrne's majority is
said to be 10000 and the other candi-
dates on this ticket will have larger
votes than his. The a between
Burke and Johnson for United States
senator was very close, but the prob
abilities are that Johnson is elected by
from two to three thousand.
Woman's suffrage lost out in the
state by a considerable majority. No
figures are available on Referred Law
No. 3 and the other propositions.
Nation
Woman's suffrage lost out in Ohio,
Missouri, North Dakota and Nebraska.
The republicans made gains v the
country and the democratic majority
in the house has been cut down con
siderably.
Hammond, democrat, was elected
governor of Minnesota by 10000. Sulli-
van the democratic boss, was elected
senator from Illinois. Penrose was re-
turned in Pennsylvania, and Uncle Joe
Cannon was sent back to congress
from his old district in Illinois.
