With the Burnside following sup
porting him, Egan held the wards
that gave him majorities in 1912,
and lost all the others, including the
ward in which he lives.
The city vote gave Egan 1,O66,
Norbeck, 1,o64 and Richards 245.
1t was estimated that 100 demo-
Gratis registered as republicans and
these We're for Egan in the hope of
defeating Norbeck, the only candidate
the republican vote OF the state could
support.
The Burnside vote and the Egan
following, it is contended by political
observers, went to the polls to man,
while up in the residence parts and
among the business and professional
men the balloting was Disappointing
ly light. The total city vote was not
much over half represented
In 1872 llgan carried the First,
Second, Fourth and Sixth wards. Yes
terday he carried also the Tenth,
which in 1912 was part of the
Fourth
The First and Second are down
town wards in which the Burnside in
fluence has always been strong, ana
hn i<tI, !, Ia;
Fourth and Tenth are on the East
Side whore the packing house vote
is a strong factor.
In 1912 with Gull taking So votes,
Egan had As per cent of the Sioux
Falls vote. Yesterday, with Richards |
to draw from the Norbcck vote, Egan
had As per cent of the city vote.
