DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES
CONTEST IN CLARK COUNTY

Clark. S. d, Nov. 15.-Clark coun-
ty will be the scene of two interesting
election contests growing out of the
recent election. The offices of clerk Of
ourts and sheriff will be contested by
the democratic candidates, who on the
a of the returns We're defeated by
small margins.
The contest will be based partially
on what is claimed to have been ille-
gal procedure in counting the ballots.
1t Is alleged that in several precincts
there We're instances in which a cross
was placed at the head of the repub-
lican 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 that the voters a marked
both candidates and soncequently 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 can
didates being ignored. One of the
democratic candidates requires a
change Of only nine votes to tie and
the other about 80.

Mrs. IDA B. Daniels, who conducts a
farm some miles from Ipswich. She
has just had her alfalfa seed threshed
and finds that she secured 16 bushels
from five acres. At the present mar
ket price, the seed is worth $3.50, SO
the product brought her the record
breaking return of $50 per acre. The

worth much less than Sy6 per acre. sc

RICHARDS LAW LOSING IN
LATE ELECTION RETIRING


Pierre. S: D.. Nov. 15.-Returns COM
ing in add slightly to the majority
against suffrage in the state, putting
the figures at 4,455 against that issue.
The prohibition vote is growing and
stands at s,463 majority, which indi-
Gates that it will go over the 10000
mark.
Late returns have put the Richards
primary law further behind with 1.07S
against it, but it is yet close enough to
go either way on the counties yet to
make returns.
The presidential vote on the highest
candidates on each ticket gives Hughes
1894 and Wilson 1886, but the lead
OF over 5000 would be under 1000 be-
tween he highest democrat and the
west republican ~elector. The final in
dications are that the Hughes lead viii
not go over 1000. if 1t reaches that
figure.
