HEAVY STAY-AT-H HOME LIST
SHOWN BY DAKOTA VOTE

DFADwooD, S. D.. Dec. 6-(special.)-
Figures from the official count OF the
vote cast at the November election dis
close a peculiar situation in the western
part Of the state. Although there has
been no falling Off in the population. the
figures show that over $500 Republicans
In the Third congression district who
voted in 1912 failed to go to the polls this
years. In 1919 Congressman Martin got
1b.0O0 votes and Candy, his democratic
opponent. got 12,1E. This year Rice, the
republican candidate, got 1o.7S2 and Candy
got 1854, only 40 moro than he got two
years ago. According to these figures.
II even half OF the stay-at-home repab-
leans in this district had voted as they
did two years ago. Rice would have been
elected and 1900 OF them voting would
have also elected Burke. Politicians west
of the river are unable to explain the
reason for the failure to vote.
