PRIMARY ON TODAY
IN SOUTH DAKOTA
Norbeck- -Danforth Battle for
Senate Nomination Hold
ing Stage.
By the Associated Press.


PIERRE, s. Oak, March 25.-South
Dakota today cast ballots in the first
primary election of the Nation this
Spring.
The election follows an intensive
campaign, in which the Republican
party, normally dominant in the
State, seeks TO maintain its foothold.
Outstanding is the race between
Peter Norbeck, United States Senator.
and George J. Danforth, Sioux. Falls
attorney. for the Republican sena-
torial nomination, and the guberna-
torial fight between Gov. Carl Gun
derson and &. F.. Coyne, present sec
retary of state.
Interest is added by the admitted
breach between the Senator and the
governor, both of whom received the
Endorsement of the State proposal
and Coyne subsequently became
minority candidates under the pro-
posal meeting system, an adjunct of
the State primary.
During the campaign it was re-
vealed that Coyne is partisan to Nor.
heck while Danforth leans to Gunder'
son.
Democrats will choose between w
J. Bulow of Beresford, the proposal
meeting choice, and Il. o. Richards,
author of the State primary law. who
after 40 years as a Republican be-
came a Democrat this year and seeks
the gubernatorial nomination.
