Democratic Candidates Contest.

Clark.-Clark county will DC the
scene of two interesting election cen
tests growing out of the recent cleo
ton. The Offices Of clerk of courts
and sheriff will be contested by the
Democratic candidates., who on the
face of the returns were defeated by
small margins. The contest will be
based partially IN what is claimed to
have been illegal procedure in count
ing the ballots. 1t is alleged that in
several precincts there were instances
in which a cross was placed at the
head of the Republican ticket and
further down other crosses for the
Democratic candidates for clerk Of
courts and sheriff. 1t is alleged that
some of the election boards threw out
these ballots on the contention thai
the voters had marked both candidates
and consequently had voted for
neither. 1t is further alleged that in
some of these instances these ballots
We're listed as straight Republican, the
crosses in front Of the Democratic
candidates being ignored. One Of the
Democratic candidates requires a
change Of only nine votes to tie and
the other about 80.

Sioux Falls.-The residents of the
Rosebud country have been stirred by
the commencement Of proceedings
which are designed to have the county
Fairfax, The town of Burke at the re-
cent election having secured an ample
number to capture the county seat.
C. A. Johnson, a leading resident Of
Fairfax, has instituted an action re.
curing the county commissioners to
show cause why a restraining order
should not be issued to prevent the
removal of the county records from
Fairfax to Burke.
The action is based on the conten-
ton that Fairfax is the permanent
county seat of Gregory county and
that a two-thirds vote would be re-
quNed in order to remove the county
seat to Burke or any other aspiring
town. Burke failed to secure the votes
necessary at the election.
The residents Of Burke contend that
in 1908 the state supreme court rem
dered a decision to the effect that Fair
fax was the temporary and not the per.
manent county seat Of Gregory county.
The result of the contest just insti.
tued will hinge entirely upon the ques.
ton as to whether Fairfax is in reality
the permanent or temporary county
capital.
Since the decision OF 1908 the SUI
preme court has materially changed
its membership. Judge Z. G. Smith of
Yankton, who her a a circuit judge
and who held that Fairfax was the
permanent county seat, now is a mem.
Der Of the state supreme court, and in
some quarters this is taken to fore
shadow the reversal by that court OF
it's former decision and the rendering
of a decision to the eqect that Fair.
fax is the permanent capital of Greg
