small lead over Orville Rhinehart.
Democratic congressional nominees:

inton; Second district, j. L. Batterton.
sisseton; Third district. Harry l..
Candy, Rapid City. Practically no re-
turns have been tabulated on the minor
democratic candidates for state offices,
but the expectation is that the entire
Johnson Coffey ticket has been sue
cessful. EE
First district, contest close between
Congressman C.. H. Dillon and G. A.
Christopherson, with Mr.. Dillon show
ing slight lead on returns at hand.
Second district, Congressman Royal O..
Johnson renominated. Third district,

Pierre, s. D., May 24.--On the repub-
lican gubernatorial contest South Da-
kota registered at the primary yester-
day in harmony with general expecta-
lions. Political authorities have agreed
that It was only question Of the size
Of Peter Norbeck's majority over the
other republican candidates. r. o.
Richards and George w. Egan. From
the incomplete returns at hand II seems
quite sure that Norbeck has received
more than twice as many votes as the
combined showing for Richards and
Egan. -..'.s III.
The democratic gubernatorial con-
test, as expected, has developed q rath-
er Snug" battle between e. d. Nor
com and Orville Rhinehart. Although
Rhinehart had the lead in the northern
and western counties, the Morcom vote
in the heavier populated districts In the
southeastern part Of the state seems to
have been strong enough to give Nor
com the nomination and a victory for
the Johnson Coffey forces.
State Senator w. III. McMaster, OF
Yankton county, apparently has won
the republican nomination FOR Eeuten-
ant governor by an easy margin. This
result was in line with expectations
throughout the campaign
